64 views5 pages
Document Summary
one of the forms of alterity the greeks used to define themselves. we"ve already seen it wasn"t as black and white as we may have thought (everything about the greeks must be good and everything about the barbarians must be bad) but there were many gray areas. solon and croesus represent different and competing values the greek definition of happiness vs. the asian definition of happiness (the asians thinking it means power and wealth, greeks think it means a glorious death, virtue, honouring the gods) This cultural difference will become both the cause of the war and the stakes in the war (what we"re fighting for is the greek definition) complex interdependence between croesus and solon (when he is about to be burned he finally understands solon"s wisdom, so croesus learns through solon and we learn through croesus) Today we will look more in depth at herodotus and the relationship between cultural difference and cultural conflict.
