Athens

They imagined that the male citizens meeting in fortnightly assembly to direct how the city-state was run would empower them and deliver good rulership and just administration. It worked for a few years until the smart ones worked out how to twist things to their own advantage, resulting in their getting into a 27-year war which they lost.

the awesome thing

Athes and Sparta were both very wealthy. People think it was because they had esay acsses to bronze and silver.

This was a form of direct democracy where the ten magistrates were chosen by lot. However they were each first elected by the tribal assemblies of the ten tribes of the citizen body, which limited the scope of the lot to stray too far. And the chief magistrate had little power of his own. The fortnightly meetings of the citizen Assembly made the decisions, the magistrates carried them out, and had religious and legal duties to perform.

the men would go to work ,go to meeting , and at night they would go out with their

friends and talk about politics . while the women stayed at home and worked by cleaning , cooking, and taking care of the family .

Greece

Since the Athenian Navy still controlled the Aegean Sea trade route, Athenians got grain from trade.

Athens has four seasons just like every other place in the world.

It was pretty much to get married and have lots of little boys.

in the home they were very important however, they were responsible for the running of the oikos. they would have to order the slaves about, but look after them if they got ill, raise the children, make clothes for the family and slaves, fetch water, and work out how much food would need to be bought to keep the family fed throughout the winter months.

Men may have run the city, but the house was a womens kingdom.

Athens created and established one of the first democracies. People would meet monthly to discuss issues of the state. The government would not make any decisions without consulting the assembly.

To create good citizens and "perfect greeks".

Citizenship was only awarded to landowning men. The only people allowed to partake in the government were the citizens. Since the amount of citizens was much smaller than the amount of women, foreigners, and merchants, there were more people that couldn't participate in the government. Therefore Athens wasn't truly "governed by the people" (definition of democracy), it only gave political power to an elite few.

The Lyceum

The population grew to about 250,000. Nearly a third were slaves, and 10,000 resident aliens, leaving 170,000.

Citizens were males over 18 years who had been accepted into one of the ten tribes. This would indicate, allowing for wives and children, a citizenship of about 35,000 at its peak. This matches the size of the army and garrisons early in the Peloponnesian War, when most males were conscripted. This figure fell drastically by the end of the war in 404 BCE as a result of a plague and battle casualties greatly outstripping natural accretion.

First of all athens is not a group of people athens is a city not a war whoever wrote this probably got confused with the trojans and the greeks and the romans.

because of his connections with alexander and the macedonian government, aristotle fled Athens in 324 B.C. in fear for his life.

Near Thessaloniki is the Aegean Sea.

The coalition of southern Greek city-states, not Athens, fought the Persians. At the winning land battle of Plataia 479 BCE it included Sparta, Athens, Tegea, Corinth, Orchonemos, Sicyon, Epidauros, Troizen, Mycenai, Tirtns, Phlius, Hermion, Eritrea, Chalcis, Ambracia, Leucas, Pelea, Aigina, Megara, Plataia.

However ten years earlier the city of Plataia helped Athens turn back the punitive expedition which Persia had sent against Eretria and Athens.

John J. McDermott was the winner of the first annual Boston Marathon in 1897. It was the first marathon of its kind in the US.

Athens created the first city states.

Also they were the first in to start the democracy. Also they had really good poets, they had great mathematics skills, they also have great artist.

The Athenian government changed in the years leading up to the development of democracy by letting the people have more say in the government and having less strict ruling.

P.s. don't take my word on this.. I just think it's a reasonable answer to this question. but that's my opinion. (:

I'm not going to lie, there was honestly not very many "good things" about living in Athens for a women. She was appointed a male guardian as a young girl (maybe 11-13) and he was to find her a husband and pay her dowry to her future husband's family. Then, after she was wed (against her will), her only job was to produce offspring. She was to stay in the house and never leave. She took care of the house, the kids, and the slaves if the family had one or more. If her husband brought company over, she was to make herself scarce.

As you can see, women were not allowed to have social lives whatsoever, and were ultimately used only to have children.

Of all the cultures to have influenced contemporary Western civilization, Ancient Greece is perhaps the most powerful. According to LeadershipClassics.org, the imprint of the ancient Greeks on Western society spans such diverse areas as politics, philosophy, science, art, architecture and sports. Additionally, according to History-World.org, the impact of Greek literature cannot possibly be overestimated.

If we take into account that slaves were seen as 'second class' cititzens (who didn't have a vote like women), they would of been used for the menial task in the Greek household like cooking and cleaning for example (and to an extent prostitution). The main purpose of Slaves can be seen in different ways from taskers who do all the menial chores and tasks, they can also be seen as a social status symbol for the owner as more slaves indicate more wealth and power (to an extent).

The government in ancient Athens was an example of democracy. The Athenian government was the first democratic form of government recorded.
