    The Pythagorean Cup of Justice The Pythagorean Cup, also known as the Greedy Cup, is a drinking cup designed in ancient Greece by the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. The cup is designed so that if it is filled over a certain amount, the liquid will overflow through a small hole in the bottom. This ingenious design was meant to prevent one from over-indulging in wine or other beverages. It was also used to make sure that everyone in a banquet was served the same amount of drink. https://www.sifouniospottery.com https://www.thepythagoreancup.com The cup is a symbol of moderation in Greek philosophy, which states that one should not overindulge in anything and that moderation is key in all aspects of life. It also represents the idea of balance and harmony, since it is made up of two parts: the cup and the hole. The cup is a reminder that one should not be excessive in anything and that there should be a balance between pleasure and responsibility. Pythagoras is believed to have invented the Pythagorean cup because he wanted to find a way to avoid overindulgence and maintain temperance. The cup was designed to prevent a person from drinking too much wine. The cup was made from a hollow, two-handled vessel with a plug in the bottom. When the cup was filled with wine, the plug would be removed and the wine allowed to pour out until the drinker's desired level of intoxication was reached. When the plug was put back in place, any further drinking was prevented. This design was meant to help people maintain their temperance and practice moderation in their drinking. https://www.sifouniospottery.com https://www.thepythagoreancup.com

    The arms race began in Mesopotamia with the invention of composite bows, light chariots and crossbows. The Persian (Iranian) emperor tried to conquer Athens in 480 BCE but was delayed by the Spartans at Thermopylae while Greek warships destroyed the Persian fleet. The Macedonian ruler, Alexander the Great, completely destroyed the Persian armies by 326 BCE and established the Greek empire. Then, between 600 and 200 BCE, a few hundred Greeks revolutionized science, mathematics, medicine, engineering, history, law and philosophy. Meanwhile, Greeks settlers in Sicily were in conflict with Rome and, by first century BCE, Romans had conquered Greece, Egypt, Carthage and the old Persian empire. Roman traders made large profits using the Silk Road between Rome, China and India and which created higher incomes though out the Roman empire. Roman engineers built more than 80,000 km of roads throughout the empire and 800 km of aqueducts in Rome delivered a million cubic metres of water each day. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

    The relationship between Pythagoras and Aristotle is one of quiet, enigmatic balance. Pythagoras, a contemplative soul who glimpses the universe through the hidden language of numbers, is drawn into the magnetic orbit of Aristotle's vibrant, restless intellect. Though their minds seek different truths-one in harmony, the other in purpose-they are irresistibly pulled together by a force neither fully understands. In the shadows of debate and silence, they find an unspoken connection, where Aristotle's fiery curiosity meets the deep stillness of Pythagoras's wisdom, forming a bond as mysterious as the cosmos they seek to unravel.
