Spartan society emphasized military training, discipline, and physical fitness. Athenian society emphasized democracy, education, philosophy, and the arts.
Pericles changed the Athenian society by proposing a new type of government to take effect. He wanted to start a democracy where all male Athenians could be involved with governmental decisions.
The Athenian Society was created in 1691.
Yes. The Athenians came together in private groups to discuss issues of interest to them. This was part of the flourishing of Athenian democracy.
The larger part of Athenian society was made up of slaves. Only a small percentage of the population were male citizens who had political rights and actively participated in public life. Slaves, on the other hand, had no rights and were owned by individuals or the state.
It depends on what group you are referring to. The Athenian democracy involved more people in a direct process. Unfortunately, there were so many people who were not allowed to participate as citizens. To be an Athenian citizen, one had to be free-born males, with both parents being Athenian, and must have completed military training. If one met all the criteria, he could vote, serve on juries, and pay taxes. Roman citizens were land owners, but citizenship could be offered to formerly defeated foes after the province had been annexed into the nation.
That it was a slaveholding society that denied even the most basic rights of citizenship to tens of thousands of people. Thucydides says more than 20,000 slaves fled from Athens to Sparta (its very name synonymous with harsh austerity) in a single decade: hardly a model society, then. It was democracy for some: in other words, not democratic at all.
Athenian society was also changed by Black Death. It also caused some of the major economic and social changes.
Athenian culture like the Parthenon and the temples columns are what modern day art is comprised of. THey influenced the modern day art immensely
See the website: Democracy
In Ancient Greece, the Spartan and Athenian governments differed essentially for the better part of their histories. Spartan society was ruled by kings wielding absolute power, with a small group of elite advisers also influential. By contrast, the "Golden" era for Athens witnessed democracy's birth -- and rule. Although limited in scope, with (for example) only adult males being able to vote and hold public office, Athenian democracy valued public debate and consensual decision-making, and public leaders were typically held accountable to the citizens for their actions.
