Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 640

[Chapter 59 Plato]

Because even the outstanding people are prone to impulsiveness, recklessness, and temptation when they are young because of insufficient knowledge and experience. Children born during this period tend to inherit these shortcomings, while children born to outstanding people when their minds are mature will be Be prudent, think more…”

Hearing this, some students looked happy, and if they got something, some students were still thinking.

Spicypus continued to ask: “Teacher, you once said, ‘In today’s world Of the Greek city-states, Sparta is the best royal regime you’ll ever see.

Two kings, council of elders, supervisors… The setting of these positions makes Sparta a mixed royal regime. Neither party has absolute domineering power, and the greed for power is strongly restricted .

‘…

But now Sparta violated Greek tradition and tyrannically occupied Thebes, what do you think about this?

”

“Spiesipus.”

“Plato faced Spicypus with a kindness in his eyes, because Spicipes was the son of his sister Potone, and he said softly: “I said that Sparta is a good kingship. The political system does not mean that it will follow the rules and become a city-state that completely follows the Greek tradition. It is precisely this political system of Sparta that enables it to dominate the Peloponnese for a long time without major domestic problems. .

In today’s chaotic situation, Sparta still holds the dominance of the Greek city-states. Isn’t this the role played by its institutional advantages?

But Thebes is not another weak city-state, and it is not easy for Sparta to completely enslave it.

On the contrary, its prolonged occupation of the Acropolis of Thebes only increased the antipathy of the people of Thebes to Sparta.

One day, this disgust will set off a fire that will burn the Spartan army, just as Thrasibulus led the Athenian people to overthrow the tyrants…”

“Teacher Plato, since Sparta is the best among the Greek city-states. Kingship, what do you think of Dionysian kingship?

“Ali Fulong from Corinth asked.

Dionia! Hearing this name, Plato’s heart was filled with ripples. He once longed to visit this alliance of city-states in the Western Mediterranean, but for various reasons, he could not make the trip, and he was always in his heart. There is one regret.

Just when he was distracted, Aureas retorted: “Dionia is not a Greek city-state, it is a foreign regime.”

Aliphron retorted: “You are watching “The Dionysians” Watch this drama too much. The main ethnic group in the Kingdom of Dionia is the Greeks, and the center of the kingdom—Turii is the city that Pericles called on all the Greeks to build. It also has Croto in its country. Nei, Tarantum, Lokri… these are all famous Greek cities in the Western Mediterranean, so why doesn’t Dionia belong to Greece?!”

“Dionia has not been recognized by Delphi, and it is not even recognized by Delphi. How can it be recognized as a Greek country even if the four major games are not available?” Aureas retorted again.

“I heard that Ailes had invited Dionia several times at Sparta’s direction, but Dionia offered, ‘As long as it agrees to allow alien citizens to participate in the Olympia Games, it will send a team.’ Ailey Dionysus didn’t participate in the Olympia Games,” Spicipes reminded.

“Doesn’t this just show that our Greek city-states have doubts about the identity of Dionia?”

…

Plato did not stop the students’ debate. While listening to the students’ opinions, he was also thinking about how to better answer Alli Furlong’s question.

At this time, the doorman of the college came over and said respectfully to Plato: “Someone asked to see you outside, and he said he was from Dionia.” As soon as

the doorman finished speaking, everyone present stopped talking.

We were discussing Dionysian, and I didn’t expect Dionia’s people to come, which is too coincidental!

“Let him come over.” Plato was equally curious. He had no friends in Dionia. The only one he knew was Lysias. It is said that he had a good life in Turii.

After a while, the doorman led a young man towards them.

Everyone’s eyes focused on him curiously. The young man didn’t feel restrained at all. He saluted Plato generously, and then said respectfully: “I am Fosterkarda, I come from Dionysian Academy, and I have received high school diplomas. On the request of Teacher Gorgias, I have sent you a letter from him, and I am waiting for your reply.”

Gorgias!

Plato was quite surprised and asked: “I remember Gorgias was supposed to be in Leotine, and I visited him a few years ago when I was traveling in Sicily. When did he go to Dionia?

” Da thought for a while and replied: “It was about six years in Dionysus. King Davos personally invited him to be a teacher at Dionysian Academy, and he accepted the invitation.”

Plato had a relationship with Dionia. After researching, so I still have a better understanding of Dionia’s unique way of dating, Wei Lu said in surprise: “That should have happened not long after I met Gorgias. He told me at the time that he was already old. Big, poor health, will not visit Athens again, but I did not expect to go to Turii in Dionia again…”

Fosterkada said proudly: “That is because Dr. Dionia has superb skills. His medical skills can cure Gorgias teacher’s disease, and the excellent environment of Dionysian College is conducive to his research and teaching students, so he is impressed.”

Plato nodded and asked: “You are Gorgias .

Gia’s student?”

Fostercada hesitated, then said: “Gorgia is my teacher, and I study philosophy from him. But I also study history from Teacher Ancitanos, The teacher learns mathematics, geometry, rhetoric and debate from Mr. Lycias…”

Hearing this, Plato sighed in his heart: Akademi College is an educational place for him to cultivate outstanding students and realize his political ideals. Why does he not want every student to receive a multi-faceted and high-quality education.

But unlike Diomia Academy, which is funded by the entire kingdom and has extremely rich teaching resources, Akademi Academy is the private property of him and his friends. From its establishment to the present, except for himself and a few occasionally My friend, I haven’t invited a famous scholar to teach students advanced mathematics and geometry. Although he has also dabbled in this area, he cannot fully satisfy some students’ desire for further study, so they are more likely to read on their own. Collection of books.

To this end, Plato spent a lot of energy and collected various books of knowledge through various channels.

Plato did not ask further questions, but opened Gorgias’ letter.

While he was reading the letter, curious students had begun to communicate with Fostercada.

“We have long heard that the Dionysian Academy is the largest place for educational knowledge in the Western Mediterranean. Compared with our Akademi, which one is better?” Athens is the most economically and culturally prosperous city among the Greek city-states , once called “the best school in all of Greece” by Pericles, so young people in Athens have a cultural self-confidence, always with a sense of pride for those from the colonies, even those who are suffering from more Young people in higher education are no exception.

Foster Cada saw their expressions in his eyes, and did not answer directly, but asked seriously: “How big is your academy?”

“About ten acres of land.”

“How many teachers are there?” Strekada asked again calmly.

“We not only have Teacher Plato, but also… Teacher Seitetus also comes to teach us mathematics from time to time.” Aureas, for fear of being looked down upon, specially added the Athenian mathematician who came occasionally. Aettos.

“How many students are there?”

“There are 23, and a few are reading in the library of the academy…”

After listening to this, Foster Cada raised his head and said loudly: “Dionysian College covers an area of 150 acres, and its area is like a small town. There are more than 20 large and small buildings in the academy, with more than 300 students, well-known There are 15 scholars, including Mr. Lycias, who wrote “Rhetorical Debate”, Mr. Ancitanos, who wrote “History of Great Greece”, who invented pulley mechanics, lever mechanics, pitch fluctuation theory, and buoyancy theory. Mr. Mattikoris, Mr. Helps, who wrote “Anatomy of the Human Body” and “An Inquiry into Diseases”, Mr. Gorgias who wrote “On Being or Nature”, and Mr. Ferro who invented the new musical lyric Mr. Sanus… In addition to these famous scholars, we have more than 20 teachers and more than 100 people who serve students and teachers…

Our students have many courses, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com including philosophy, rhetoric Study, law, mathematics, astronomy, history, poetry, biology, music… In addition, we also need to do physical exercise, and even hold some competitions to ensure our physical and mental harmony, and at the same time exercise our will

to win.

We all have our own residence in the academy… oh, yes! There is also a large library in the Dionysian Academy, and now there are more than 5,000 books, not only Greek works, but also Persian books. , Egypt, Carthage…such as Carthage’s agricultural book, Persian code of law, we have special personnel to translate these books…”

Fosterqada’s narration made the young people stunned, envious and jealous Intertwined on the face.

Someone couldn’t help but say: “What you said sounds good, who knows if it’s true?”

Fosterkada sneered: “The Dionysian Academy is thousands of miles west of Athens, you guys Feel free to send someone to confirm, and you will find that what I have said is far from describing the true strength of the Dionysian Academy.”

“It doesn’t matter how much or how little, we have a Plato teacher who can make us It is enough to have real knowledge.” Spicypus reminded everyone aloud.
