	How did the use of Greek reason and logic bridge the gap between the study of nature and man? Describe problems and contradictions between the Greek ideal and its reality. Contrast Athenian and Spartan culture. How was ancient Greek theatre enacted? What were its cultural meanings? Compare Sophocles' vision of tragedy with the pursuit of truth in Socratic philosophy. Why do we refer to the evolution of Greek thought in this period as the birth of Western civilization? How does Socratic philosophy reconnect the evolution of Greek thought to the ethical concerns of Western civilization?
