Yes, ancient Athens was an example of a direct democracy. Citizens voted on all issues of public policy.

The Athens and Greece are well-known by having the mythology and because of that many allusion are created. Some of the allusions are alluding to Epimenides (Greek poet and seer) and allusions to Philomela (princess of Athens).

The men in Athens were free to do what they wanted when the men in Sparta had to train all day long giving no time to do anything else. boys were taken away from their mothers at age 7 to begin training.

to fight and get stronger to protect their home from enemies...i think.

a Greek temple used to shelter a god's statue

just a guess but it might be the school of athens that made itself, BURN!!!!

Approximately 140,000; Approximately 40,000 men were citizens; and slaves (about 40,000). By 432 BC, Athens had become the most populous city-state in Hellas. In Athens and Attica, there were at least 150,000 Athenians, around 50,000 aliens, and more than 100,000 slaves.

yes they had about 1000 foot soldiers

To become and remain citizens, to serve the city-state, to participate in its benefits, to join religious observances, to pursue a trade, farm or business, to participate in defence of the city-state, to profit where possible from wars.

He attributed the 'success' to Pericles' cunning in defeating the conservatives, expelling their leader, and installing a radical democracy to replace the balanced democracy he inherited. His oratory was able to sway the people in fortnightly assembly to follow his preferred course, as the people at large were more easy to sway with emotive appeals. However Thucydides is critical of its subsequent path when Pericles died of the plague and Athens was afflicted with orators who swayed the people into dangerous paths.

One of them was when Thucydides himself was sacked as a general for a defeat which was not his fault.

Up to the 6th Century the upper classes ruled and maintained their pre-eminent status. Farmers who went into debt were sol into slavery to pay for the debt. This threatened revolution so reforms gave some rights to all, but the aristocracy retained and abuse power. A populist was appointed tyrant to oversee fairness. This lasted for half a century until people got sick of the tyrants, a democracy was tried, and eventually the aristocracy was tripped of any power.

Under the democracy all citizens (adult males) had equal rights and directed in government through fortnightly assemblies. The magistrates and council carried out the directions of the citizen assembly, and the courts were run by citizen juries. Office bearers were selected by lot, so all citizens could hold office.

Non-citizens - women, children, resident aliens, slaves, had no rights.

anthens become so fashion of the moda on the rome empire

Citizens wrote their vote on a shard of pottery and put them in a receptacle where they were counted. The majority won.

After returning from Egypt, Plato established Academy in Athens

Slaves in Athens and Sparta did not have a lot of rights. They where not even allowed to go to religious festivals and they had to ask their master's permission to even go to the bathroom!

It was parasitical, living high on the proceeds of the empire it had created out of the city-states which had trusted to lead them against the Persians. It used some of these proceeds to promote building and cultural activities. And it used its strength to try to dominate the Greek world, which became its undoing after Pericles' death.

Athens is surrounded by mountains; The city during the last 25 years has been extend to almost all directions. The city its self is on the Ilissus River, which is dry for much of the year and carries abundant water only after winter storms. Athens has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Rainfall is slight. In general is dry with low humidity. Over the past decades, Athens suffers from air pollution and smog caused by the lack of green and the excessive traffic of all kinds of vehicles. Especially in recent years fires in the surrounding mountains of Parnitha and other forest areas resulted a worsening of the air pollution due to the luck of oxygen pockets (trees and forest). The problems deteriorate during the winter with many floods in several areas caused by the luck of trees on the mountains and the uncontrolled construction that closed many drains that served various streams.

The military was the citizens, all of whom served in the army and navy when called out in emergencies.

The generals, one elected by each of the ten tribes, led the army and navy, and because the citizens wanted reliable war leaders, were elected on merit. As the political leaders were selected by ballot and could be anyone, they often gave the execution of political decisions also to the reliable generals.

only men could vote, women could not.
