9/25 Minoan & Mycenaean Civilization
How were the two civilizations we studied yesterday similar? How were they different?Slide3
Minoan
Civilization
Located on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea Slide4
EGYPT
Mesopotamia
Peloponnese Slide5
Minoan
Civilization
Located on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea
Success was based on trade, not war.
They had trade posts throughout the Mediterranean - including Egypt & Mesopotamia
We talked a lot about how geography or location affected Egypt and Mesopotamia, how do you think the location of Crete affected the Minoans?Slide6
Art in Knossos
Knossos was the capital city of the Minoan Empire
The palace housed rooms for the royal family, banquet halls, and working areas for artisans
The palace also had a number of
shrines
(
areas dedicated in honor of different gods & goddesses) & frescoes (
which are water color paintings done on wet plaster)Slide7
Frescoes
What does this image tell use about Minoan culture?Slide8
Religious Shrines
Crazy thing about Minoan culture is that ALL of the gods (well goddesses) we have found evidence of have been female.
What is the significance of this compared to other ancient civilizations?
What is this mother goddess holding?
Minoans also worshiped Bulls – have you ever heard of bulls in religion before? Slide9
Minoan Civilization Disappears
By 1400 BC something took out the Minoans, it could have been any of the following:
volcanic eruption
earthquake
invaders
What we do know is that a new civilization took their place, we call them the
Mycenaeans
Slide10
Mycenaean
Civilization
Conquered mainland Greece & Crete around 1400 BC & ruled until about 1200 BC
The
Mycenaeans
were also great sea traders.
They lived in separate city-states & were ruled by a warrior kingMost famous for their part in the Trojan War Slide11
Bell Work 9/26
Greek Dark Age – write this down
After the fall of Mycenaean Civilization around 1100 BCE Greece goes dark
Decreasing production of art & pottery
Agriculture collapses
People flee due to famine
Writing using Linear B vanishes The only records we really have from this era is a story, the first story, written down by a man named HomerSlide12
Homer’s the Iliad & the Odyssey
As we read try and identify 5 different things that this story tells us about the culture of Ancient Greece, write these in your note book under the bell workSlide13
Bell Work 9/29 – Start as soon as you have read what to do
Imagine that the class has been stranded on a deserted island. In the interest of survival everyone has decided to create a rulebook for the island.
You have 15 minutes to accomplish the following as a class.
Decide who will do the following – hunt and gather food, cook, make shelter, explore the rest of the island, and take care of the sick/injured
Create your first 5 rules.
Decide how you will determine if someone is guilty of breaking any rules
The punishment for breaking any rules
How rules will be made in the future.
You are hereSlide14
Reflect – Answer in your Notebook
How well did the class work together?
What would have made it go more smoothly?
What problems did the class run into?
Did you agree with all of the rules? Why or why not?
What did this experiment tell us ?Slide15
Types of Government
Monos
– Single
Oligos
– Few
Archy – Rule
Demos – PeopleArios- best (wealthiest)Kratos – Power
Tyrannos
–
usurper with
supreme power
Given that information, what do you think these types of government look like?
MonarchyOligarchyDemocracyAristocracyTyranny
Which of these best describes the type of government the class came up with?Slide16
Bell Work – Just for Review 10/2
Use your notes, your friends, and homework 4.2 to answer the following
Who were the Minoans? What were they like?
The Mycenaean's?
Who was Homer & what did he write?
What are the roots to these words?
DemocracyAristocracyTyrannyOligarchyMonarchySlide17
Greek
Geography
Greece is a mountain covered peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean Sea
How might this affect the development of ancient Greece as a civilization?Slide18
Types of government
Between 750BC &500 BC different governments evolve in Greece due to the Geography
Monarchy
Aristocracy
Oligarchy
DemocracySlide19
Monarchy stage 1
Hereditary Ruler – known as a monarch or King
Has authority over everyone in the kingdom
Made laws & acted as judges
Led the army
Had a group of wealthy advisors known as aristocratsSlide20
Aristocracy Stage 2
WEALTH=POWER
Wealthy group of people who advised the king
at first had no real power
began to insist kings be elected this leads to democracy, oligarchy & tyranny Slide21
Oligarchy
This is when a small group of wealthy advisors were able to over power or ‘buy’ the king.
Most of these men were aristocrats- they inherited land & resources from their parents
They lived comfortable lives while the poor suffered.
Advantages:
decisions are made relatively quickly brings wealth to the city statesDisadvantages:
most people remained poor
most of the poor were ignoredSlide22
Tyranny
Around 600 B.C people turn to powerful men who promised to change the government
These men took power by force, usually using the military
People didn’t have many rights, but it was better than being left out like they were with the oligarchy
Advantages: Led by a person who often tried to help the masses
Disadvantages: not many rights
Had to do whatever the Tyrant demandedSome tyrants were worse than the oligarchsSlide23
Warfare Shapes Greece
Since the people living in Monarchies, Oligarchies or Tyrannies did not have many rights – their last resort to get those rights was violence
New military technology increases the power of the middle class
Hoplite- a citizen/soldier who was armed with a spear, shied & sword
Phalanx- a formation of heavily armed foot soldiers that was 16 people wide & 16 people deep
required extensive training promoted a sense of unity among the citizensSlide24
Democracy
Around 500 B.C the people of Athens decide they would like to govern themselves
People have the power
Citizens are able to vote on laws, kings & public policies
Advantages: good amount of freedom
Everyone gets a say
Disadvantages: the mob ruled, minorities generally sufferSlide25

Things to Fix
Introductions- All you need to do in this section is introduce your topic. Talk about Greece or ancient civilizations in general. Talk about the effect they have had on us today. Point out the debate that is going on.
Thesis- NEEDS TO BE ONE SENTENCE THAT OUTLINES THE 3 REASONS YOU THINK ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER
don’t start to explain why, just state it, the why is for the paragraphs
Athens= the city
Athenian= the people or institutions from the city (Athenian Education)Sparta= the citySpartan= the people or institutions from the city (Sparta Military)Slide28
Government Evaluation Survey
Rank the four forms of government you learned about in your gallery walk in terms of effectiveness. 1 being the best, 4 being the worst.
In a paragraph response explain in detail why you ranked the governments the way you did. (
you need to provide reasoning for your answer! It is not enough to say “I ranked oligarchy as number one because it was the best” – You NEED to provide evidence for why you think it is the best. Slide29
DBQs: Things to fix for your final draft, due Friday
Keep a Formal Tone
Use proper grammar
Read it out loud!!!!
Cite your sources
Whenever
you use information you got from the documents you need to reference the document, quote the information & then explain what you quoted!
For example:
In document one it states “Athenian boys started their education at age 7”. This shows how serious they were about making good citizens, it also shows a good amount of sexism since girls weren’t allowed to attend.
Explain your points!!!
Its not enough to just make a statement, be sure to explain what that statement tells us about the society as a whole, so what if the Athenian government was democratic? What are the good or bad things about democracy?
