Teaching of security in ancient Greece

Abstract

Ancient Greek philosophy, art, mathematical sciences and architecture are greatly influencing our societies today. Although the most prominent example of their legacy is the Olympic Game, it is worth mentioning many others which were used in later centuries. They were amongst the first nations who tried to find logic, use reason to understand the world surrounding them, and at the same time encouraged education and innovation. Ancient Greeks believed that philosophy, wisdom and intelligence were not only highly regarded human qualities, but very important in leadership as well. They were determined to make observations and decisions on information rather than on ignorance or on only divine auguries. For this paper I have used literature review of contemporary works and interpretations of original pieces.
