Studying of cultural life of the various people and the countries long since was the business, drawing attention of philosophers, historians, writers, travelers, and simply inquisitive people. However Cultural science - a youngish science. It has started to be allocated in special field of knowledge since XVIII century And has got the status of independent scientific discipline actually only in XX century. The word "cultural science" has been entered for its name by the American scientist L.Uajtom in the early thirties

But we will return to the set theme. I have chosen culture of the Ancient Greece because the founder culturologists the Ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle all the same is considered.

The ancient art existed in an interval between VII century BC and Vв.н. э. Ancient art Key parameters have been set by ancient Greeks, they have put its bases and have expressed with набольшей force and simplicity.

The Ancient Greek epos

The first of the Ancient Greek epic texts which have reached us homeric "Illiada" and "Odyssey" are created approximately in VII century BC Obviously that already in those days they weren't unique, and entered into epic tradition of ancient Greeks. After "Illiada" and "Odyssey" creation of epic products proceeded throughout all Antiquity. However homeric poems for ever remained from a number leaving and exclusive. Rightfully it is possible to name "Illiada" and "Odyssey" первотекстами Antiquity. It were the most authoritative texts, to them appealed as to something unconditional both writers, and philosophers, both statesmen, and scientists.

Homeric poems represent the first integral and finished expression of the Greek soul. It was issued and embodied for the first time in them as something at the heart of the taken place. Further the Ancient Greek culture will develop in breadth and deep into. In it there will be new themes and turns something she will refuse, something will get, and nevertheless defining and rod for Ancient Greek culture has taken place already in "Illiada" and "Odysseus". For all Ancient Greece to be a representative in a condition only the homeric epos.

Acceptance and world illumination comes at the Homere so far as it never will be in one other culture.

Ancient Greeks, with rare exception, didn't call into question a reality of Trojan war and feats of its heroes, it in a root would undermine their feeling. "Illiada" and "Odyssey" not simply belonged to an honourable and raised genre of literature, they formed and supported a sincere system of ancient Greeks, their self-identifications in some measure served. Therefore the text of homeric poems was perceived both as a reality, and as an art masterpiece. It in perfection has reflected ennobled - a wonderful life of heroes, instead of was a fruit of imagination of the Homere.

It is necessary to localize literally epic action in space and time, and it becomes history, and his directors - simply and it is only people. Greeks were sometimes inclined to similar localization. But it couldn't be consecutive since the "Illiada" and "Odyssey" world was important for them at all as real history. It remained over historical, representing Greece and Greeks as those, over rough events of history.

The Roman gains (I-st century to AD - 30г. AD) put an end to independence of the Hellenistic states. Rome became the political, economic and cultural center of the Mediterranean.

But the Hellenistic culture endured the Hellenistic states. It kept the influence within several centuries and made an essential part of that basis on which during the millennia successfully developed European, and together with it world culture and medicine.
