Athens

Aristotle founded the school known as the Lyceum around 335 BCE.

The Athenian economy boomed because Athens ripped off annual contributions from up to 200 other cities, collected by force if necessary. It collapsed when the Peloponnesian League defeated Athens and stripped it of its empire, and Athens collapsed into a second rate country.

The approximate longitude and latitude of Athens in Greece is 37 Degrees 58 Minutes N, 23 Degrees 42 Minutes E. Athens is the capital of Greece.

Most men in Athens became farmers, traders, skilled craftsmen and rowers in the fleet (and public servants from the Pricles era).They could also be called out for military service.

Yes - if they behaved according to Athenian standards and had legitimate business to conduct and could support themselves.

Sparta because they did not have as much freedom as Athens.

A majority vote of the citizens would condemn the target to exile for ten years. It was a way of getting rid of your political opponents.

It was notably used by Pericles to get rid of his opponent Thucydides son of Melesias when Thucydides formed what is the first recorded political party and used their disciplined voting in the Assembly to stymie Pericles' attempts to get up his political fixes. Thucydides' exile left his party in disarray and left the door open for Pericles to be an over-influential leader of the Athenian democracy.

This had some good outcomes for Athens, but Pericles over-reached himself and manoeuvred the city into the disastrous 27-year Peloponnesian War which Athens lost.

Generally yes. The assembly though consisted of only citizens of Greece which by definition are native born free men. so it was all the views of the people but man ran the show

He believed in power. I think that is why he was part of the chief government in Athens around 525 B.C..

Most lived in marginal poverty. The average farm could barely support a family, and this resulted in surplus populations being shipped off to establish new cities overseas, mainly in Asia Minor.

There was a period of relative prosperity from about 450 BCE when the Persian Empire agreed to peace and Athens turned the anti-Persian Delian League, which it led, into an empire of its own, enforcing continued payment into the war fund by those cities, but spending the money on itself, putting half its own population on the public payroll.

Even so, life was hard, and the loss of its empire after defeat in the Peloponnesian War, returned Athenians to supporting themselves.

The adult male citizens met fortnightly in assembly and decided on laws put before them by a council. Between meetings the council (of 600 - 50 from each tribe) implemented these decisions, and 50 were on duty 24/7 in rotation to handle routine activity and emergencies.

The law courts were comprised of juries of several hundred selected by lot. There were no judges or lawyers - the jurors decided verdicts and sentences.

The only similarities between Athens and Sparta was that they were both Greek. Otherwise, there is no correlation, they are synonyms and completely opposite. Sparta is awesome while Athens is extremely homosexual.

Euro it is because Greece is a member of European union

---- ====== ====== Two important people during this time were Draco, who appointed a strict law code and from whom we derive the term 'draconian', and his successor and well admired Solon who mandated a new constitution in 594 BC. After Solon more reforms followed which freed up trade and commerce, making Athens very wealthy and granting it a large middle class, abolishing slavery as a punishment for debts, and a formation of 4 main classes to which the lowest and most common, the Thetes, were for the first time granted political rights allowing them to vote, though only upper class was allowed to hold political office.

I think it is all men born in Athensor maybe all men and women born in athens

The pecking order was:

large landowners,

small landowners,

tradesmen,

non-propertied workers,

resident aliens,

foreigners,

women,

slaves.

A degree of equality appeared when it switched to a democratic constitution, when male citizens could serve in the government and participate in the popular assembly.

Solon was appointed archon for a year to resolve a looming civil war between the aristocrats and common citizens.

The limited arable land in river valleys separated by mountains ensured that separate city-states were developed. When burgeoning populations outstripped the productive capacity of the soil, the city-states shipped their surplus populations off to other coastal sites around the Mediterranean and Black Seas to seize land and establish new city-states, resulting in over 2,000 city states.

the size of Athens is 32 meters. It is huge you should go there. Did you now that someone ran around Athens 5 times!

Persia provided a financial subsidy to Sparta which enabled it to double the pay of seamen and rowers, which Athens could not afford to match. This gave the Spartan alliance sea-parity with the Athenians. By careful planning they were able to catch the Athenian fleet beached with its crews dispersed feeding themselves at Aigospotamai, and captured it. Athens, without sea power and and penned up in the city, with no way of raising funds from its allies (empire) or procuring food, had to surrender.
