The disparity was not great - the three Athenian classes had annual incomes of 500, 300 and 200 measures of grain, a very modest range pf 250 percent.
Compare this with today's elites, where the bottom class has 30,000 dollars, the upper class 30 million - 100 times as much.
AWESOME

Cleisthens encouraged people to participate in government.

In Judaism, Sheol is the world that people go to after death. In this afterlife, people are but mere 'shades' of their former selves and is thus commonly described as a shadowy underworld like Hades.

Conflict was an ordinary aspect of ancient Greek life.
Greek civilisation is the one which influenced the Roman elites the most.
The actions of the Greek Gods were how people explained things they did not understand. So Zeus making storms was how ordinary people explained storms before they knew what the actual cause was.
If you are referring to the city of Rome, it might have been common to a certain extent because at one point the majority of its population was from outside Rome. People migrated to Rome from all over the empire and for a period of some 300 years many slaves were taken to Rome. The children of these people probably learnt Latin and were bilingual. Around the empire there probably was bilingualism in the Roman towns and near military forts, where the locals might have learnt Latin to a degree. The elites of the conquered peoples also spoke Latin. The Roman elites studied in Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek. The elites in the eastern part of the empire spoke Greek as this area had been under Greek rule before coming under the Romans. In the big cities of the east there might have been common people who spoke their language and Greek.
Oligarchy - 'rule by the few' - an aristocratic cartel which excluded ordinary people. Tyranny - rule by a single man appointed to get rid of the oligarchs and give the ordinary people a government which looked after their interests. Democracy - 'people power' - which gave the ordinary people a say in their government.
None. Apart from a few people, the Romans were never interested in the Greek concept of democracy. It was alien to their tradition and to the ancestral customs which were very important to them. The conservative elites this concept would have been subversive.
Catholic religion and Greek Christianity are somewhat similar, but other Greek religions are not similar to the Catholic religion.
The Romans did not absorb this myth into their mythology. Educated Romans who knew this myth used the Greek name. The Roman elites spoke Greek as well as Latin.
No, Greek technology was not similar Roman technology. Rome might have had one Greek technology that they used, but other then that one Greek technology, Roman technology was not similar to Greek technology.
they were GODS
The Roman elites became deeply Hellenised (influenced by Greek culture). This is not surprising because all the peoples who came in contact with the Greeks became Hellenised to various decrees. The Roman elites admired Greek art and thought that it was superior. They thought that they could not compete with Greek sculpture and hired Greek sculptors. They also admired Greek literature. Initially, Latin plays were modelled on Greek plays. The Romans also thought that the Greek language was more suited to abstract concepts and better for rhetoric and philosophy. The Roman elites were educated in both Latin and Greek and spoke Greek fluently. The Romans were fascinated by Greek mythology and linked their gods to the Greek gods and their myths. Greek medicine was the beast and the Romans simply adopted it. With regard to trade, Greece and the other Greek states in the eastern Mediterranean became part of the Roman Empire and the Romans fostered the development of trading networks around their empire and beyond.
