Greek and Greek show how the idea of the animal model is based on greed and bureaucracy, not good science.
They explain that, while scientists of the past were primarily wealthy people doing a hobby they enjoyed, today's scientists are required to continually produce statistically significant results in order to keep their jobs.
The Greeks carefully argue that animal experimentation is not (and never has been) necessary for human health and medical progress and that, in fact, human health and safety is often compromised by animal experimentation.

Nevertheless, the ancient Greeks were so overtaken by the agonistic spirit of their age, that they engaged not only in their numerous local or intercity contests of skill, which were peaceful, but also in frequent inter-city warfare that cost many people their lives.

Further, the odd quotations and extracts from Greek literature that survive in administrative contexts bear witness to the literary aspect of this education, as in that Tebtunis text.
When, among the examples of literature to survive from this context, we find poems which celebrate Greek monuments in the capital city, we may perhaps assume that this was one of the ways in which the idea of the capital city, the image of Alexandria, was purveyed up-country in Egypt.

A good discussion is made on the idea of tragedy, a Greek creation from a free society, the spirit of inquiry in poetry, the dignity in the suffering and significance of human life.
