Timothy RevellGUEST
But at the time, it was a major leap forward and one that gave a whole new toolki- toolkit to mathematicians.
Timothy RevellGUEST
And mathematicians responded by going, "I don't know about this." They thought that suddenly, or at least some mathematicians thought, that the job of a mathematician might suddenly, rather than working in these beautiful geometric forms that the Greeks had handed down to us, would be pushing symbols on pieces of paper and would become a, a drone-like drudge who just went through these and no longer had any understanding.
Timothy RevellGUEST
But instead, what happened with algebra and geometry is we got all of physics that we know today.
Timothy RevellGUEST
Every bit of mathematics that has developed in the last three hundred years has used these kind of relationships in one way or another.
Alan DaviesHOST
We are in London.
Alan DaviesHOST
There's more Greeks here than Greece." And he'll just talk them down like that.
Damian HarrisGUEST
Yeah.
Damian HarrisGUEST
[laughs]
Arturo ZuritaHOST
Yeah, this is the
Zach ShevichHOST
true story of the ancient Greeks.
Zach ShevichHOST
How could you change all that?
Arturo ZuritaHOST
Yeah, look, and I get it for the most part.
16 MINS LATER
Zach ShevichHOST
I mean, that's my guy from station 11.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
Yeah.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
Cause he talks about, um, the scene where he says, uh, we are the Greeks.
Arturo ZuritaHOST
We were like, he's not Greek.
GhostHOST
And that really, in my opinion, is the foundation stone of Christianity from a first principle standpoint.
GhostHOST
And when you see what it's done to Cofney here and the way that Atticus completely dismantles Cofney using Greek logic, using the principles of Greek philosophy, which as we've seen in this show, but also you can see it elsewhere in Jewish history is completely repudiated by like, like the Sanhedrin, like they consider the Greeks to be complete perverts.
GhostHOST
They hate Greek philosophy.
GhostHOST
And then you even hear, you even hear Caiaphas saying, and how he's like, all these morons are falling for, you know, the Socratic method of Jesus, you know, asking these questions because they haven't studied Greek philosophy.
Ed BlalockHOST
No, indeed.
Ed BlalockHOST
Kind of for the same reason that the Greeks didn't like Hades, but they were careful to make sure not to leave him out of, you know, temples.
Damian HarmonyHOST
Yeah.
Ed BlalockHOST
You know.
speaker_3GUEST
Obviously, those are extremely civilized countries.
speaker_3GUEST
Cyrene had been first colonized by the Greeks in the 7th century BC.
speaker_3GUEST
So they had these wonderful
speaker_8GUEST
Greek cities.
Dan SnowHOST
Roman citizenship meant you were really in the first division in ancient society.
Dan SnowHOST
Everybody who wasn't a Roman citizen was aspiring to become a Roman citizen, if they could.
Dan SnowHOST
It was more prevalent, I might say, in the West than in the East, where the Greeks were still slightly sniffy about it.
Dan SnowHOST
For a Roman itself, it meant that, really, here you were an inheritor of the earth.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
And another thing, I want to give you guys some credit, but the other thing is that the kind of the altar, it's a kind of altar, it's called Altar of Burnt Offerings, Burnt Offerings.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
And in the language of the people who made the altar, they're the Greeks.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
You know, the way they say burnt offering, they say it, the word is burnt is kaustos, and the word completely is holos, and it becomes the word the holocaust.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
The altar was the altar of the Holocaust, even before the Holocaust happened.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
And one other thing before that, this is just one part of mystery, is that in the Bible it says the altar of burnt offerings will be in the holy place.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
Holy place.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
So altar of burnt offerings in the language of the Greeks is Holocaust.
Jonathan CahnGUEST
What about holy place? In the language of German, German-Polish, the word for holy place is the word Auschwitz.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Think what the children of this world will often do for freedom without any religious principles.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Remember how the Greeks, the Romans, the Swiss, they have endured the loss of all things and even life itself, but rather than bend their necks to a foreign yoke.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Let their example provoke you to copy them.
J.C. RyleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If men do such a thing for a corruptible crown, how much more should you do for one that is incorruptible? Awake, awake to a sense of the misery of being a slave.
Troy LydiateHOST
Yes, Jesus didn't have movie theaters, but there was still art happening around there.
Troy LydiateHOST
Paul didn't get to go see the Odyssey, but he lived among Greeks who are still talking about it.
Troy LydiateHOST
Yeah.
Troy LydiateHOST
They were speaking it.
Christopher ChapmanHOST
So we just have all kinds of assumptions and thoughts about mercy and war and home.
Christopher ChapmanHOST
that, you know, maybe the Greeks intuited, but they couldn't articulate because Christ had not become incarnate yet.
Christopher ChapmanHOST
And so Christians bring that.
Christopher ChapmanHOST
It also probably can dampen art sometimes too, because if you have too much of a message that you want, oh, I got to get to Jesus here.
