Question

Identify the accomplishments made by Aristarchus, Euclid, and Herophilus.What contributions did Aristotle make during the Hellenistic era?

Answer 1

Answer:

As we learned in our lecture on the Library of Alexandria, a great number of features combined to make Alexandria the center of scholarship of the Hellenistic world and beyond. Alexandria was part of a large empire, united by Greek language, Greek writing and Greek culture. Though the empire collapsed, its common Greek language remained, allowing scholars from all over the known world to learn from one another.

Alexandria was a particularly good place for this sort of scholarship to occur, because the banks of the Nile provided an excellent place to grow papyrus, a plant that could be made into a fantastic paper. The abundance of papyrus allowed the Ptolemaic kings of Egypt to collect all the writings available at the time and house them in the largest library in the world, the Library of Alexandria. It was at this library that the greatest minds of the age came to study and teach.
