What was the Failure of Athenian Democracy and what impact did it have on the democracy in Athens?
Athens was a pure democracy. It lacked constitutional protections; so that a slim majority could disenfranchise large portions of the population. It lent itself to demagogues and pandering politicians. Plus, it was a democracy of the elite. Only adult male property owners both of whose parents were Athenian could vote. If you were female, devoid of property, or had the misfortune to have one of your parents be born in another city, you could not vote--to say nothing of resident aliens who spent their whole lives in the city, or slaves. There were also class conflicts between the aristocratic elite and the merchant democrats. The gridlock formed by the political factions meant that Athens could not formulate an effective policy against the Macedonian threat.

What is the supreme Executive council?
Here is my best attempt, as I am not a political scientist. An executive council is a committee that makes decisions regarding a private company, a public company, or a branch of government. Totalitarian dictatorships notwithstanding. A Supreme Executive Council is an executive council whose decisions are final. For example, Supreme Court appointees for a nation's highest court.

Who were Theseus's kids?
The first male child of Theseus was Melanippus, whose mother Perigone was daughter of Sinis - whom Theseus had killed along his way to Athens because he made travelers bend pine trees to the ground and than let the tree go and sending them to their deaths; or bending two pine trees and letting go thus tearing the traveler apart. Perigune later married Deioneus of Oechalia. Theseus perhaps had sons with Ariadne, daughter of Minos of Crete who helped him in the labyrinth; his sons by her may have been Staphylus and Oenopion - who are also called the sons of Dionysus because Theseus abandoned Ariadne on Dia, where Dionysus found her and fell in love making her his immortal wife. Such is why it is hard to say if Staphylus and Oenopion are the sons of Dionysus or of Theseus. Theseus later married Ariadne's sister, Phaedra, another daughter of Minos and Pasiphae. By her he had Acamas and perhaps Demophon, who is also said to be a son of the Amazon Hippolyte who was his captive, and perhaps his wife as well. Hippolyte or her sister Antiope had Hippolytus- who Phaedra attempted to seduce and when she failed accused Hippolytus of raping her. Theseus believed her, and in anger prayed to Poseidon that Hippolytus might perish; and so, when the young man was driving his chariot beside the sea, the god, listening to Theseus' curse, sent up a bull from the surf that frightened the horses and dashed the chariot to pieces, and Hippolytus, entangled in the reins, was dragged to death. Phaedra hanged herself when the scandal was made public. Iphigeneia, who is otherwise a daughter of Agamemnon and Clytaemnestra is also said to be a daughter of Helen and Theseus from when he and Pirithous had gone to Sparta to make daughters of Zeus their wives; so it is that Theseus went to the Underworld with Pirithous with the intent of stealing away Persephone and sat upon the Chair of Forgetfulness, being held there either because the rock grew to their flesh, or else by coils of serpents. Heracles later raised them both up out of the Underworld, or only Theseus.
Whose wedding is being anticipated in A Midsummer Night's Dream?
A Midsummer Nights Dream takes place in the city of Athens, where king Theseus is getting ready to marry Hippolyta - the queen of the Amazons - who is a prisoner of war. Theseus is clearly very excited about the marriage. We never really find out how Hippolyta feels about it.

What did Pericles do to prepare Athens for war?
He persuaded them to stay inside the city walls rather than risk defeat by the stronger Peloponnesian forces in the open in an attempt to stop their fields being ravaged. The long walls, whose construction he had supervised over the previous two decades, also provided protected access to the sea, and so food could be imported from the Athenian empire during a siege, and the Athenian fleet in its ports could strike at the home cities of the besiegers in the absence of their armies.
