The Golden Age of Athens
They had the right to vote.
go ask your mom
The golden age of Greece was under Pericles who was an enlightened dictator.
democratic
First an oligarchy headed by Cimon after the Persian invasion, then briefly Ephialtes who brought back democratic government, then Perricles until his death from the plague, then a series of populists who led the city decline.
The Athenian economy boomed because Athens ripped off annual contributions from up to 200 other cities, collected by force if necessary. It collapsed when the Peloponnesian League defeated Athens and stripped it of its empire, and Athens collapsed into a second rate country.
