Ancient Greek civilization was
the most influential the world
has ever known. Many aspects
of it: its art, its philosophy, its
drama, its educational system
and its values are prominent
in our culture.
![Page 4: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Some of the words we use
today are based on Greek
civilization.
Take for example the phrase
“The Midas Touch”.
![Page 5: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Greeks were the first
people in ancient times who
thought and acted much like us.
They were very curious and
thought about almost every
subject. They also had a strong
individualistic spirit, and would
not accept any law, rule or fact
just because somebody "said
so ".
![Page 6: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Some of the Greeks' most
interesting ideas appeared in
their
mythology, which usually
mirrored Greek society.
The myths' main purpose was
to
explain the wonders of the
world.
![Page 7: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Let’s go to the
Webster Dictionary
to find a definition
for the word
“myth”.
![Page 8: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The first man to fly,
according to Greek
mythology, was the skilled
Athenian craftsman and
inventor Daedalus.
![Page 9: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Daedalus was an architect
and inventor who designed
the
Knossos labyrinth for Minos,
the cruel king of Crete. The
Crete civilization existed from
the end of the 3rd millennium
BC., reaching its peak about
1600 BC.

3000bc____1600BC____AD- birth of Christ
BC means before the birth of Christ
AD means after date, Anno Domini

![Page 12: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The labyrinth was built as a
prison for all the King’s
enemies. They had to face the
Minotaur, a man-eating monster
that was half
man and half bull.
![Page 13: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The labyrinth was so skillfully
designed that anyone who
entered could not find his way
out. Thus, no one could escape
from the Minotaur. Daedalus,
however, revealed the secret of
the labyrinth to Ariadne, Minos’s
daughter, so that she could help
her lover Theseus kill the
Minotaur and escape.
![Page 14: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Angered by the escape,
Minos imprisoned Daedalus
and his son Icarus in the
labyrinth. Daedalus made
two pairs of wings out of
feathers, sticks and string so
that they could both fly out.
![Page 15: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Icarus, however, flew too
close to the sun. His wings
melted and he fell into the
sea. Daedalus flew to Sicily,
where he was welcomed by
King Cocalus.

Thousands of years after it
was first told, the story of
Daedalus and Icarus still
stirred the imaginations of
those who explored the
mysteries of flight.
![Page 19: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-
1519), who lived about
2500 years after the
ancient Greeks, was also
fascinated with flight.
![Page 20: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Leonardo da Vinci left
over 500 sketches and
35,000 words in
manuscripts devoted to
flying machines, bird
flight and the properties
of air flow. Yet, he had no
influence on the
development of human
flight.
![Page 21: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Which of the many of Da
Vinci’s inventions are
connected with flight?
![Page 22: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
These are examples
of his flight sketches.
![Page 23: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ironically enough Da Vinci
had no influence on the
development of human
flight.
His life was filled with
ironies.
![Page 24: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
While some people worked
on wings, others had taken
to the air in an entirely
different way - in balloons.
![Page 25: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In the eighteenth century a
book on the properties of
newly discovered gases
gave the Frenchman Joseph
Montgolfier the idea that
bags of gas might rise in the
air.
![Page 26: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What gave Montgolfier theidea that he could develop
aflying machine?
1. the discovery of new
gases
2. the balloons he read
about
3. a book about air
![Page 27: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hot – air balloons
inspired the
imagination of
writers as well.

“Around the World in Eighty
Days”
by Jules Vernes (1828-1905),
is a novel about the
adventures of Phileas
Fogg
and his servant
Passepartout.
![Page 29: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
One day, while Phileas Fogg
is with some friends, he
reads in a newspaper that it
is possible to travel around
the world in eighty days
and bets them that
he could make the
journey
in that time.
![Page 30: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
One of the means of
transportation he and his
servant use on their
journey
is a hot-air balloon.
![Page 31: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Who traveled in a hot-air balloon?
1. Jules Vernes and his
servant
2. Passerpartout and
Fogg
3. Fogg and Vernes
![Page 32: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Jules Vernes is a well
known author.Let’s find
out some details about
his life and write his
biography.
![Page 33: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The modern hot air balloon
is made up of three main
parts:
the envelope,
the basket,
and the burner.
![Page 34: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The envelope is the colorful
“balloon” part and is sewn into
many patterns, geometric
designs and custom shapes. The
wicker basket (sometimes called
the “gondola”) is tightly woven
so that it will not get caught on
tree branches or entangled in
power lines.
![Page 35: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When Jules Verne wrote this
book, he probably had no idea
about how much the world
would advance. Today, with
the technology we have, we
can physically travel around
the world in about a day.
![Page 36: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Man has wondered
about the possibility of
flight for thousands of
years. Ancient myths,
songs, poetry and books
have been written to
describe the “flights of
imagination.’’
![Page 37: In this lesson you will: explore the contributions of Greek civilization. read a Greek myth. discover the first steps in the evolution of human-powered.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649dd95503460f94ace10f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In this lesson
you have gone through a
timeline from 3000BC to
1900AD, discovering the
world of flight in people’s
imaginations.
