The Spread of Hellenistic Culture
Astronomy
-The circumference of the earth was determined
-It was revealed that the planets revolved around the sun, not the earth, as previously stated by Ptolemy, a Greek
-The sun was calculated to be 300 times the size of the earth
Math
-The value of pi was estimated
-Euclid made many contributions to geometry (Euclidian geometry)
-Pythagorean theory was established
Physics
-Archimedes designed a screw that was able to pump underground water
-Law of lever
-Lever and pulleys; heavy objects could now be lifted
Philosophy
-Stoicism and Epicureanism emerged; social unity promoted as well as virtuous behavior
-The influences of Socrates. Plato, and Aristotle continued in Hellenistic society
1.As a result of Alexander’s policies, a vibrant new culture emerged. Greek (also known as Hellenic) culture blended with Egyptian, Persian, and Indian influences. This blending became known as Hellenistic culture.
2.Trade and Cultural Diversity Among the many cities of the Hellenistic world, the Egyptian city of Alexandria became the foremost center of commerce and Hellenistic civilization.
3.Another important Hellenistic scientist, Archimedes of Syracuse, studied at Alexandria.
4.The largest known Hellenistic statue was created on the island of Rhodes. Known as the Colossus of Rhodes, this bronze statue stood more than 100 feet high.
5.which hellenistic achievement had the greatest impacts? why?
geometry because it helped in astronomy, architecture and still applies to us today
6.how did trade contribute to cultural diversity in the hellenistic city of Alexandria？
the trade was from all the countries and very diverse
7.how did euclid influence some of the developments in astronomy during the hellenistic period？
the geometry that he wrote about helped eratosthenes and aristarchus calculate the earth size.
8.what did stoicism and epicureanism have in common？
they both have the belief that people should live in peace
