 ARCL2001: Lecture 4
It consists of fl figures silhouetted against the deep orange-red clay of the pot: details of hair, musculature, facial features, draperies, etc. are incised onto the fl figures, and added purple and white colours are often used to highlight particular aspects of the figures.
Though the fl-figure technique was invented at Corinth circa 700 BC, it was Athens which combined the technique with its own established tradition of figured narrative pot painting to command the pottery markets of the sixth century BC.
At this time we witness a move away from the earlier Corinthian influences, and the disappearance of the frieze style of decoration: this is replaced by a new focus on larger scale compositions which represent the drama of a single moment.

 Pythagoras
By the first centuries BC, moreover, it became fashionable to present Pythagoras in a largely unhistorical fashion as a semi-divine figure, who originated all that was true in the Greek philosophical tradition, including many of Plato's and Aristotle's mature ideas.
By the end of the first century BC, a large collection of books had been forged in the name of Pythagoras and other early Pythagoreans, which purported to be the orignal Pythagorean texts from which Plato and Aristotle derived their most important ideas.
BC) says of Phercydes of Syros that “although dead he has a pleasant life for his soul, if Pythagoras is truly wise, who knew and learned wisdom beyond all men.” Here Pythagoras is again the expert on the life of the soul after death.

 ANDREW COLLINS
In his works the TIMAEUS and CRITIAS Plato implies that it was the famous Athenian archon, or chief magistrate, named Solon who first learnt of the story of Atlantis during a visit to the Temple of Sais in Egypt's Nile Delta around the year 570 BC.
Although this might seem like a neat and logical solution to both the problem posed by the very early time-frame suggested for the destruction of Atlantis and the unimaginable dimensions of Atlantis' city and plain outlined in the CRITIAS, this argument is seriously flawed.
The inhabitants of the central of these islands was said to have preserved the memory of a former landmass, identified by Proclus with Atlantis, which had existed thereabouts.

 Virtual Egyptian - Etruscan young woman, 570-550 BC
Following the Villanovian culture of the ninth century BC, the Etruscan culture emerged around 800 BC among the indigenous population, with perhaps some influence from the East.
It is from those tombs, their decorated walls, and the vast amounts of material cultural goods (much of them imported) the tombs contain that we have learned most of what we know about Etruscans.
Etruscan prosperity declined sharply during the fourth century, as other powers blocked their trade routes: southward with their complete naval defeat against the Greeks at Cumae in 474 BC on the Mediterranean side; northward with the progressive takeover of their outposts in northeastern Italy on the Adriatic.

The initial display shows the known orbital tilts of the A-BC and BC systems (at an inclination of 72.53° and 110°, respectively) from the visual perspective of an observer on Earth.
However, the orbital inclination of any planet that may be discovered someday in this multiple star system would likely be different from those of the habitable zone orbits depicted here.
