Themistocles in 483 BC
Because then who would the Spartan men train on?
Athena
European nations brought warships and armies to build empires in South Asia.
The United States provided the warships to get Panama's independence in exchange for the rights to build the Panama Canal.
The League, which it led against the Persians, after the wars was turned into an empire by Athens. It supplied money, manpower and warships to give Athens power amogst the other Greeks, and money to spend on glorifying the city, promoting culture and putting half its citizens on the public payroll, as well as 100 warships to enforce the tax collection, and attempt to stand over other city disputes.
It varied from time to time. At its peak it was 200 warships and 35,000 part-time citizen-infantry.
i really dont know..
Themistocles.
He persuaded the Athenians to divert distributing a large silver discovery from distribution to citizens to building 100 warships, using the argument that, after the defeat of the Persian expedition at Marathon, they would return in force and a strong navy was essential to offset Persian land power.
No, the people of Athens dedicated it to Athena.
Yea yes
It was founded because it was a good place to build a settlement.
