Many of the Athenians considered citizenship a privilege.
The Athenians had a complex relationship with foreigners. While they valued trade and cultural exchange, leading to a degree of openness, many Athenians held a sense of superiority over non-Athenians and often viewed foreigners with suspicion. Additionally, citizenship was exclusive, and only native-born Athenians were granted full rights, which underscored a certain degree of xenophobia. Overall, while some Athenians appreciated the benefits of foreign interactions, others remained wary of outsiders.

- Citizenship alloted many privileges to the population of Athens - Voting in direct democracy, those giving them a chance to have a saying in everything other Athenians did
Although Athenians were Greeks, not all Greeks were Athenians.

In ancient Athens, citizenship was limited to freeborn males who were Athenians by birth, meaning both of their parents had to be Athenian citizens. Citizens had to be at least 18 years old to participate in the assembly and other civic duties. Women, slaves, and foreigners (metics) were excluded from citizenship and its associated rights. This exclusivity underscored the importance placed on lineage and the direct ties to the city-state.
It is only recent in compared to geological stuff, say mountains or oceans. The Spartans and the Athenians all had huge citizenship issues. The Persians under Cyrus were in a large part successful because they molded the idea of citizenship to mean many things, but it was a vital that you were a citizen . I think human civilizations every where, say even early China and the Mayans all had citizenship requirements. Being part of the hyarchy was the only way to get support from the system.
People in Athens Greece, were called Athenians(Ath-inee-ins)
Athenians main rivals where from Sparta. They fought in the Peloponnesian wars.
