One question that I believe should be discussed in class is “how much influence does religion have on politics”. After reading a section from Herodotus’ The Histories and Aristotle’s The Constitution of Athens it is apparent that religion is very influential in the political realm. I base my argument off of two instances‚ The Liberation of Athens from the Pisistratidae and the return of Peisistratus back into Athens.

King: “I have a dream”. We recall Cervantes with his famous Don Quixote de la Mancha. We also have the worst with Hitler and the Holocaust . Jesus himself came up with his own utopia: “my kingdom is not of this world" ( john 18:36). To have a dream is one thing; to make it reality is another. Dreams often conflict with reality.
