July 20,1969 America won The Space Race as we were the first human or as we know of living beings on the Moon. Although we have proof of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were, in fact on the moon, there are some people who choose to believe and deny that this ever occurred. Their reasons mostly include that the flag was waving in the non-existing breeze. Also, there are no stars in the pictures. Lastly, they believe that the moon landing itself was recorded either deep in Hollywood 0r in Area 51.

Maria Panzo Phil 1301 03-31-12 Socrates was accused of denying the gods and of corrupting the young. The first of these charges rested upon the fact that he supposed himself to be guided by a divine sign. The second, Xenophon tells us, was supported by a series of particular allegations: (a) that he taught his associates to despise the institutions of the state, and especially election by lot; (b) that he had numbered amongst his associates Critias and Alcibiades, the most dangerous of the representatives

The Role of the Gods in the Iliad In the era of Homer, divine intervention was thought to be typical, and one of his foremost works, The Iliad, reflects this. Nearly all of the Greek gods are involved in the outcome of the Trojan War, which happens to be the background story of this epic poem. The gods are used by Homer to add twists on an otherwise standard plot of war. Evidently, the gods will be a powerful source of divine intervention and their actions certainly have significant outcomes on

give up the girl.” One line that I thought was very powerful was when Agamemnon says to Chryses, “Now go, don’t tempt my wrath- and you may depart alive.” After hearing this, Chryses felt threatened and he obeyed what Agamemnon said. On page 79, Apollo sends a plague upon the Greek army and on this page it states, “he cut them down in droves- and the corpse-fires burned on, night and day, no end in sight.” I thought this was also a very powerful line and it was a line that stood out to me.

000 years the proclaimed the 'bellybutton', the very centre of the ancient world.

GROUP ASSIGNMENT Greek philosophy Q) Critically assess the charges against and the defence given by Socrates in the apology? The apology- a compilation of Socrates dialogue- is a rare collection of works done by Plato which we must treasure.
