How did the church influence European culture between the 1100s and 1300s?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Between the 1100s and 1300s, the Church dominated every aspect of human life in Europe. In medieval European culture, the major influence of the Church impacted on the areas of art, architecture, music, literature, philosophy, and intellectual life, among others.

The most advanced techniques in art and architecture were completely at the service of the Church since this institution used to hire the most prominent artisans and artist to create artworks devoted to religious themes. Sacred Christian architecture could be seen in the big churches and cathedrals that dominated the largest European cities, as a hallmark of the Church's dominion in the urban centers. At this particular period, the architectonic styles that excel are late Romanesque and, overall, Gothic, the latter being born in the 12th century and covering to the 15th century.

The music as well was greatly influenced by liturgical music and religious themes. The greatest production in literature and philosophy were, mostly, confined to the work of the monasteries, which were centers not only of praying but also of learning, studying and preserving knowledge. Other learning institutions that counted with the favor of the Church were universities, where students and professors held the legal status of clerics. and therefore a very high status in European medieval society. Poetry and literature at this time mixed Christian topics with courtier stories, like "Perceval, The story of the Grail" by Chretien de Troyes.

In Philosophy, the rediscovery and study of Aristotle's works took place and, thanks to this, the intellectual school of scholasticism took strength and was widespread. This method encourages rationalism, investigation, and empiricism and many monasteries and universities held monks and intellectuals of this school. It paved the way for what centuries later would be the Renaissance.

A Great part of the European culture of this time was enriched by the contact with Arabs, Muslims and Middle Eastern cultures in general due to the Crusades (1095-1291), encouraged by the Church to take the Holy Land. This permitted not only to rediscover Aristotle in Arab works but also to discover new spices, scientific knowledge, and useful technological inventions.

However, the Church also had a strong control of European culture during this time, many works and thoughts that were not aligned with the Chuch's ideology were considered heretic and strongly condemned.

What was the purpose of herodotus'history?
Debora [2.8K]
Herodotus is famously known by the dual moniker, “Father of History, Father of Lies”. Whether or not he deserves the latter epithet is perhaps up for debate. He is sometimes criticized as unserious for his many cultural digressions and travelog sidebars. It would, however, take a truly obtuse and narrow-minded critic to deny him the former title. History as a thing separate from record-keeping and chronicling begins with Herodotus. In and among his entertaining and diverting rabbit trails is some of the best and most important history ever written. He shows those who would do history after him what they were to strive for. It is in the opening lines of the Histories where Herodotus establishes the scope and purpose of history, and in doing so establishes its role in man’s attempt to understand his world.

The lines which begin the Histories are a model of clarity and simplicity. There is no excess rhetoric, no flowery overstatement. Herodotus states succinctly in the above passage the purpose for his account. His “enquiries” (ἱστορία) were made to serve memory and understanding—memory in preserving the deeds of men, understanding in examining how the circumstances of those actions came about.

Herodotus’ treatment of memory in this passage is more than just a simple remembrance. He is doing more than just recording a how, where, and when. The preservation of memory here is active, even aggressive, as if time were attempting to destroy the things of man, and history is a brandished weapon holding it at bay.

Almost as an afterthought, Herodotus appends onto his paean to memory a secondary goal. Among the matters covered will be “…the cause of the conflict between the Greeks and non-Greeks.” This is just casually thrown in as if to remind you to look for it along the way. Here Herodotus is understating his purpose, and by playing down this item, he shows its importance. The discovery of the causes of action, and why men have acted as they have, is the heart of the study of history.

So what is the cause of the conflict between the Greeks and the non-Greeks? What was the spark that began the fire that led the largest army in antiquity to cross from Asia to Europe in order to subdue the cities of Attica and the Peloponnese? Herodotus’ examination of this is more subtle than some will give him credit for, and is composed of one part scholarly guile, and one part showmanship. He will look at the opinions of the Asians and the Greeks, and then settle on the pattern that will lead him through his entire enquiry.

“According to learned Persians, it was the Phoenicians who caused the conflict....”1 So begins Herodotus’ examination of the causes of the great conflict. Right away, he is already showing historians their business - he is sourcing his work. He is telling you whose opinion he is working with. As he proceeds, he relates the Persians’ story of Phoenicians going to Argos and abducting Io. In a turnabout, some Greeks go to Tyre and abduct Europa, while some others go to Colchis and abduct Princess Medea (there is some confusion amongst the Persians as to whether the former group were properly Greek, or Cretan). All of the second round of abductors justify their actions by pointing to Io’s earlier capture.

Finally, the son of the Trojan king, Alexander (Paris), abducts Helen from her home in Sparta. At this point, according to the Persians, the Greeks gain culpability, for “…so far it had only been a matter of abducting women from one another, but the Greeks…took the initiative and launched a military strike against Persia.”2

While it is true that the Persians viewed this kind of rapacious activity to be illegal, they found the Greek reaction to Helen’s abduction odd because, “…it is stupid to get worked up about it....“ They viewed the Greek reaction to be unjust and “…date the origin of their hostility towards the Greece from the fall of Illium.” 3

After sourcing these opinions, and running through them, Herodotus gives his own opinion: forget the abductions; they are not the issue.
