Why did Greece fade from power?
The Hellenic world severely degraded itself in the fratricidal war between Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies 431-404 BCE. Subsequent internecine fighting further degraded that power, leading to the imposition of the King's Peace by the King of Persia in the 4th Century BCE. This weakness allowed the rise of Macedonia in the last half of the 4th Century, with Philip becoming Hegemon fo mainland Greece. His son and successor Alexander continued Philip's ambition to defeat the Persian empire which he did, in the process stripping much of the manpower of not only Macedonia but also Greece for his armies. And on Alexander's coattails large numbers of Greek carpetbaggers swarmed eastwards to help pick the carcase. His successors, who split his empire and waged warfare between them, also had an insatiable appetite for manpower from the homelands - Greece and Macedonia. By the time the Romans got to mainland Greece, its military strength was so much eroded by depopulation that they were unable to put up a real fight, aided by their continued reliance on the phalanx which the Romans were able to exploit. And of course, they subsequently lost a lot to slavery. Plutarch notes in the 1st Century CE that 'you could not raise three thousand men-at-arms in all Greece'.

What are 2 democratic and 2 undemocratic features of Athens?
hahahah you are definetly a kid from la salle heres my essay....dont copy it Around 750 B.C., Athens slowly progressed from a monarchy, which was ruled by one man, the king. The king almost always inherited the power by family succession. They quickly jumped from a monarchy to an aristocracy, which is ruled by a small group of nobles who wrested power from the king. From there, it went to a tyranny, then finally to a democracy. A democracy is ruled by the people. Their democracy encouraged similar reforms in a number of Greek city-states. Unfortunately, around the 7th and 8th century, there was discontent in Athens, and things started to fall apart. Economically, the small farmers were unable to compete with low priced grain imports. They had to borrow money from wealthy nobles, and sold their land as security. When they were unable to pay their debt, they would lose their land, and most likely sold into slavery. Politically, the common people had no voice in the government. As the king lost power, control passed entirely into the hands of the aristocracy, or the wealthy nobles.
