ERATOSTHENES T he man who first measured the world, the Greek astronomer Eratosthenes (c. 276-196 B.C.), lived in Alexandria during the 3rd century B.C. He noticed that on the first day of summer in Syene (now Aswan), Egypt, the Sun appeared directly overhead at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, however, the Sun appeared slightly south (about 7 degrees) of the zenith. Knowing the distance between Syene and Alexandria and assuming that the Sun’s rays were parallel when they struck the curved Earth, he calculated the size of our planet using simple geometry. His result, about 25,000 miles for the circumference, proved remarkably accurate. Eratosthenes wasn’t the only Greek who tried to measure the Earth. About a century later, Posidonius copied this feat, using the star Canopus as his light source and the cities of Rhodes and Alexandria as his baseline. Although his technique was sound, he had the wrong value for the distance between Rhodes and Alexandria, so his circumference came out too small. Ptolemy recorded this smaller figure in his geography treatise, where it was seized upon by Renaissance explorers looking for a quicker way to the Indies. Had Ptolemy used Eratosthenes’ larger figure instead, Columbus might never have sailed west. Home Cosmological Stars PBS Online Thirteen Online ... Flat-Earth Universe

For Epicurus the aim of life was pleasure; the highest pleasure was absence of pain; pleasure of the mind was preferable to that of the body. The soul dies with the body, so we must not fear death or afterlife; the gods exist but do not concern themselves with humanity or natural phenomena (all of which can be explained scientifically); we should avoid public life and emotional commitments in order to escape the pains likely to be caused by them. The physical world was explained by the atomic theory adapted from Democritus. Stoicism Stoicism . After the death of Zeno of Citium, the Stoic school was headed by Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and its teachings were carried to Rome in 155 by Diogenes of Babylon. There its tenets were made popular by Panaetius, friend of the great general Scipio Aemilianus, and by Posidonius, who was a friend of Pompey (see your textbook if you don't recognize these names); Cicero drew heavily on the works of both.

She began as an understudy to actresses in leading parts, but quarrelled with her manager, Charles Fleetwood, on whom she wrote a one-act skit, The Art of Management (1735). She also wrote two comedies and two-novels of small merit, and an untrustworthy, but amusing Narrative of Life of . . .

It is the latinized form of the Gr. icq~c~,ptOV, the cup-shaped seed-vessel of the Egyptian water-lily, the seeds or nuts of which were known as “Egyptian beans.” In the early Christian government and the republic of San Marino, and arranged a treaty by which the latter’s liberties were guaranteed. After the war of 1866 by which Austria lost Venetia, Cibrario negotiated with that government for the restitution of state papers and art treasures removed by it from Lombardy and Venetia to Vienna. He died in October 1870, near SaIô, on the lake of Garda. His most important work was his Economia politica del medio evo (Turin, 1839), which enjoyed great popularity at the time, but is now of little value. His Schiavitit e servaggio (Milan, 1868-’-1869) gave an account of the development and abolition of slavery and serfdom. Among his historical writings the following deserve mention:—Delle artiglierie dal 1300 al 1700 (Turin, 1847); Origini . . . . della monarc/zia di Savoia (Turin, 1854); Degli ordini cavallereschi (Turin, 1846); Degli ordini religiosi (Turin, 1845); and the Memorie Segrete of Charles Albert, written by order of Victor Emmanuel but afterwards withdrawn. Cibrario was a good example of the loyal, industrious, honest Piedmontese aristocrat of the old school.

But the Sicilians, in testimony of their gratitude, came and brought him all sorts of presents from the island, when he was aedile; of which he made no private profit himself, but used their generosity only to reduce the public price of provisions.

A HISTORY OF SCIENCE By Henry Smith Williams Project Gutenberg File Converted into HTML pages by Nalanda Digital Library under Etext Conversion Project (ECP) BOOK 1 CHAPTER X. SCIENCE OF THE ROMAN PERIOD All in all, then, this epoch of Roman domination is one that need detain the historian of science but a brief moment. With the culmination of Greek effort in the so-called Hellenistic period we have seen ancient science at its climax. The Roman period is but a time of transition, marking, as it were, a plateau on the slope between those earlier heights and the deep, dark valleys of the Middle Ages. Yet we cannot quite disregard the efforts of such workers as those we have just named. Let us take a more specific glance at their accomplishments. STRABO THE GEOGRAPHER The earliest of these workers in point of time is Strabo. This most famous of ancient geographers was born in Amasia, Pontus, about 63 B.C., and lived to the year 24 A.D., living, therefore, in the age of Caesar and Augustus, during which the final transformation in the political position of the kingdom of Egypt was effected. The name of Strabo in a modified form has become popularized through a curious circumstance. The geographer, it appears, was afflicted with a peculiar squint of the eyes, hence the name strabismus, which the modern oculist applies to that particular infirmity. " 'Lifted up on the vast wave he quickly beheld afar.'

The End of Philosophy and the Culmination of Ethics: Some Remarks on Stoic Cosmo-Ethicology by Edward Moore quest eudaimonia ), understood as the actualization, on the part of the human, of a divine potentiality. Matters became a bit more complex, or high-minded, by the time the Stoics came to develop their philosophy. The Stoics, as a group, seem to be unique insofar as there is no clear conceptual distinction between their ethical and cosmological speculations. It is for this reason that Stoic ethics may be considered the most rigorous of all ancient systems; indeed, it may even be said that Stoic thought represents the culmination of ethics, in the ideal of the Sage, who has come to embody, literally, within himself, the divine logos , which is, for the Stoics, God. The quest , then, which had defined the philosophical life for both Plato and Aristotle, found its end in the person of the Stoic Sage, who no longer sought wisdom, nor stood immediately before the Divine, but rather experienced, in the context of a life lived, the divinity ordering the Cosmos, of which the Sage knew himself to be a living, active member . The ethical injunction became, for the Stoics, an

Back to History of Astrology page The Imperial Planets http://www.astrology.com/imppla.html Towards the end of the 3rd century BC Greek drama and literature began to seriously interest the Romans. At first, astrology crept in at the lower end of the social scale: while the intelligentsia were enjoying Greek plays and poems, hoi polloi was fascinated by the crowds of fortune-tellers making their way — as quacks always will — towards a new source of easy money. But it was not long before, at first out of an interest in astronomy, intelligent Romans learned about the Greek preoccupation with the influence of the planets on humanity. By the 1st century BC, Cicero, always sceptical about astrology, took it seriously enough to summarize it without irony in his De divinatione: In the starry belt which the Greek calls the Zodiac there is a certain force of such a nature that every part of that belt affects and changes the heavens in a different way, according to the stars that are in this or in an adjoining locality at a given time ... They believe that it is not merely probable, but certain, that just as the temperature of the air is regulated by this celestial force, so also children at their birth are influenced in soul and body, and by this force their minds, manners, disposition, physical condition, career in life and destinies are determined.

Eratosthenes Calculates the Circumference of Earth! "A persons mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimensions." O. W. Holmes ERATOSTHENES (Born 276 B.C. - Died 196 B.C.) The first person to "measure" the world was the Greek astronomer and mathematician Eratosthenes. He lived in Alexandria, Egypt during the 3rd century B.C. He accomplished this astounding feat using geometry, arithmetic and his imagination. This great achievement was recorded on a papyrus dated 230 B.C. The story of how he developed his estimate of the earth's circumference over 2200 years ago is one of the treasures of mankind. His result of 25,000 miles for the circumference of the Earth proved remarkably accurate. He was 0.4% off from the current measurement of 24,901 miles. He was also lucky that errors in his numerous estimates tended to cancel each other out, reducing his final percentage of error. Eratosthenes wasn’t the only Greek who tried to measure the Earth. About a century later, Posidonius copied this feat, using the star Canopus as his light source and the cities of Rhodes and Alexandria as his base line. Although his technique was sound, he had the wrong value for the distance between Rhodes and Alexandria, so his circumference came out too small. Ptolemy recorded this smaller figure in his geography treatise, where it was seized upon by Renaissance explorers looking for a quicker way to the Southeast Asia and China. Had Ptolemy used Eratosthenes’ larger figure instead, Columbus might never have sailed west, he would have calculated that Southeast Asia and China was not a three month sail west of Europe but rather almost a 12 month sail west. In 1492 twelve months on the high seas without numerous landfalls would have been an impossible journey.

Stoics and Stoic Philosophy The Stoic School was founded in 322 B.C. by Zeno of Cittium and existed until the closing of the Athenian schools (A.D. 429), (it took the name from the Stoa poikile, the painted hall or colonnade in which the lectures were held.) Its history may be divided into three parts: (1) Ancient Stoicism; (2) Middle Stoicism; (3) New Stoicism. (1) Ancient Stoicism (322-204) Zeno of Cittium (b. 366; d. in 280) was the disciple of Crates the Cynic and the academicians Stilpo, Xenocrates, and Polemon. After his death (264), Cleanthes of Assium (b. 331; d. 232) became head of the school; Chrysippus of Soli (b. 280), succeeded and was scholarch until 204. These philosophers, all of Oriental origin, lived in Athens where Zeno played a part in politics and were in communication with the principal men of their day. The Stoic doctrine, of which Zeno laid the foundations, was developed by Chrysippus in 705 treatises, of
