1. The Ancient Greeks viewed and thought about evil in terms of the lack of anything 'good'. This means that good does not exist, and therefore is lacking, which results in evil. Evil happened when there was some sort of dysfunction in humanity. 2. Aristotle saw those who were in politics as being virtuous. In order to gain this virtue, one must have achieved high levels of education. 3. From Aristotle's perspective, someone became evil by merely being associated or siding with anything that is opposite of what is good. He believed that this was a universal constant in society and the universe.
