sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess

long poems told about heroic deeds

short tale that teaches a lesson

where the story ends happily

story told by actors who pretend to be characters in the story

where a person struggles to overcome difficulties but fails

Greek word for love or wisdom

Greek thinkers who believed the human mind could understand everything

Using pointed questions to require students to use reason to see things for themselves

professional teachers in Ancient Greece who traveled

what a person leaves behind when they die

A teaching that said happiness was the goal of life

Happiness came from following reason and doing one’s duty

A time when the Greek language and ideas spread to the non-Greek people of s.w. Asia
