Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Because even the excellent ones, when they are young, because of insufficient knowledge and experience, they are easy to be impulsive, reckless, and tempted. The children born in this period often inherit these shortcomings, and the children born when the excellent people are mature Be prudent and thoughtful..."

Hearing this, some students have their faces on their faces, and if they get something, some students are still thinking.

Spisipus continued to ask questions: "Teacher, you once said,'In today's Greek city-state, Sparta is the best monarchy you have ever seen. Double Kings, Council of Elders, Ombudsman... The establishment of these positions makes Spartan a mixed monarchy, neither party has the absolute dictatorial power, and the greed for power is strongly restricted.'...

But now that Sparta violates the Greek tradition and tyrannically invades Thebes, what do you think of this?"

"Spisips." Plato faced Sipips with a kind of love in his eyes, because Sipips was the son of his sister Potone, and he said gently: "I said Spartan is a good monarchy, it does not mean that it will become a city-state that fully follows the Greek tradition. It is precisely this kind of spartan regime that allows it to dominate the Peloponnesian peninsula for a long time. But there are no major problems in the country. In today's chaotic situation, Sparta still holds the dominance of 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, it occupied the Abyssin for a long time, which only increased the resentment of the people of Thebes towards Sparta.One day, this disgust will ignite a fire and burn down the Spartan army, just as when Serasibulus led the people of Athens to overthrow the tyrant rule..."

"Teacher Plato, since Sparta is the best monarchy in the Greek city-state, what do you think of Dionysia's monarchy?" Aliforon from Corinth asked.

Dionysia!Hearing this name, Plato's heart rippled. He had longed to visit this city-state alliance in the Western Mediterranean, but for various reasons he could not make the trip, and he always had a regret in his heart.

Just as he was distracted, Oreas retorted: "Dionia is not a Greek city-state, it is an alien power."

Ali Fulong retorted: "You are watching the drama "The Dionysians". The main ethnic group of the Dionysian kingdom is the Greeks, and the center of the kingdom, Turriy, was originally called by Pericles. The city built by the entire Greeks, including Crotone, Tarantum, and Lockley... these are the famous Greek cities in the Western Mediterranean. Why is Dionysia not belong to Greece?! "

"Dionia has not been recognized by Delphi. It can't even participate in the four major sports games. How can it be recognized as a Greek country?" Oleas once again refuted.

"I heard that Ellis sent invitations to Dionia on several occasions under Sparta's instructions, but Dionia proposed,'As long as it agrees to allow foreign citizens to participate in the Olympia Games, it will send a representative team.' Sis didn’t agree, and Dionia had not participated in the Olympia Games.” Spicyps reminded.

"Doesn't this just mean that our Greek city-state has doubts about Dionysia's identity?"

...

Plato didn't stop the students' controversy. While listening to the students' opinions, he was also thinking about how to better answer Aliforon's question.

At this time, the college guard came over and said respectfully to Plato: "Someone outside asked to see you. He said he was from Dionia."

The doorman's voice just fell, and everyone at the scene stopped talking.

Discussing Dionyssia, I didn’t expect the people of Dionysia to come.

"Let him come." Plato was equally curious. He didn't have any friends in Dionia. The only acquaintance was Lucias. It is said that he had a good time in Turui.

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

The eyes of everyone were curiously focused on him. The young man did not feel restrained at all, and he generously saluted Plato, then said respectfully: "I am Foster Carda, from the Dionysian Academy. Entrusted by Mr. Irgia, I will send you a letter from him and wait for your reply."

Galgia!Plato was quite surprised and asked, "I remember that Galkia should be in Leotini. I visited him when I was in Sicily a few years ago. When did he go to Dionia?"

Fosterkada thought about it and replied: "It was about six years in Dionia. King Davers invited him personally to be a teacher at Dionysian Academy. He accepted the invitation."

Plato had studied Dionysia, so he knew more about Dionysia’s unique way of chronology. Weilu said in surprise: “That should be something shortly after I met Gorgia. He At the time, I was told that he was too old and was in poor health. He would not visit Athens again, but he did not expect to go to Turion in Dionysia..."

Foster Carda proudly said: "That's because Dr. Dionia has superb medical skills and can treat the diseases of Teacher Gorgia, and the excellent environment of Dionysia College is conducive to his research and teaching students. So he moved him."

Plato nodded and asked, "Are you a student of Gorgia?"

Foster Carda hesitated and said, "Gorgia is my teacher, and I learn philosophy from him. But I also learn history from Ansitanos, and mathematics and geometry from Mathis, Learn rhetoric and debate from Mr. Lucias..."

Hearing this, Plato sighed in his heart: Academia College is an education place where he cultivates excellent students and realizes his political ideals. Why doesn't he want to give every student a multi-faceted and high-quality education?But unlike Diomeia Academy, which is funded by the entire kingdom and has extremely rich teaching resources, Akademi Academy is the private property of his and his friends. From its establishment until now, except for himself and occasional Friends, I have not invited famous scholars to teach students advanced mathematics and geometry knowledge. Although he has also been involved in this area, he cannot fully satisfy the desire of some students for further study, so more is to let them read for themselves Book collection.To this end, Plato spent a lot of energy and collected books of various knowledge through various channels.

Plato didn't ask any more questions, but opened Gorgia's letter.

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

"We have long heard that the Dionysian Academy is the largest place for educational knowledge in the Western Mediterranean. Which is better than our Akademi?" Athens is the most prosperous economic and cultural city in the Greek city-state , Once called by Pericles "the best school in Greece", so young people in Athens have a cultural self-confidence, for the people from the colony, always take a pride, even if these are receiving more Youth in higher education is no exception.

Foster Carda looked at their expressions and didn't answer them directly, but asked seriously: "How big is your college?"

"About ten acres."

"How many teachers are there?" Foster Carda asked quietly.

"We have not only teacher Plato, but also... and teacher Ceaetus often come to teach us mathematics." Oleas added the occasional Athens mathematician Cypriot for fear of being underestimated. Aetus.

"How many students?"

"There are 23 people, some of them are reading in the library of the school..."

After listening to this, Foster Cadaang started and said aloud: "The Dionysian College covers an area of ​​150 acres, its area is like a small town. There are more than 20 large and small buildings in the school park, more than 300 students, well-known 15 scholars, including Mr. Lucias, who wrote "The Rhetoric", and Mr. Ansitanos, who wrote "History of Great Greece", invented the mechanics of pulleys, levers, pitch fluctuations, and buoyancy Mr. Martícoris, Mr. Helps who wrote "Human Anatomy" and "Inquiry into Diseases", Mr. Gorgia who wrote "On Existence or On Nature", Ferro who invented new music lyrics Teacher Sanus... In addition to these famous scholars, we also have more than 20 teachers, more than 100 staff members serving students and teachers...

There are many courses for our students, including philosophy, rhetoric, law, mathematics, astronomy, history, poetry, biology, music... In addition, we also need to exercise sports, and even hold some competitions to ensure our physical and mental harmony, while exercising Our will to win.

In order to devote ourselves to study wholeheartedly, we all have our own residence in the college...oh, yes!There is also a large library in the Dionysian Academy. There are more than 5,000 books in the collection, not only Greek books, but also Persia, Egypt, Carthage...such as the agricultural book of Carthage, the Persian code , We have dedicated staff to translate these books..."

Foster Kada's narrative made the young people stunned, envy and jealousy intertwined in their faces.Someone couldn't help but say, "What you said sounds good. Who knows if it is true?"

Foster Carda sneered: "The Dionysian Academy is just a thousand miles away from Athens. You can send someone to confirm at any time, you will find that what I said is far from describing Dior The true strength of Niah Academy."

"The amount of matter is not important. It is enough for us to have a Plato teacher to let us master the real knowledge." Spicys reminded everyone.
