Athens

None.

Citizens had rights, non-citizens (including all women, children, slaves and aliens) had no rights, but were given some tolerance and privileges according to their usefulness and good behaviour.

Greeks have always had their own language which was Greek. Greek is one of the world's oldest recorded living languages.

The history of the Greek Language begins around the late 3rd millennium BC.

In the classical period, about 500 BC, there were three versions of the Greek language. People who spoke one variety had difficulty understanding another type. Still, the languages were close enough that some people could understand the other speakers. Around 330 BC, Alexander the Great created Koine Greek by taking features from the different versions of Greek that he liked and made all Greeks use that as their language. After that, Greeks spoke Koine Greek in Greece and wherever Greeks settled from Spain to India. Until about 100 AD, a person could walk from Scotland to India using only Koine Greek.

Athenian citizens had had to install a tyrant to end exploitation by the upper class and govern for all classes. After 40 years of this, they wanted more control themselves so they expelled the tyrant, and replaced the attempted move by the aristocrats to regain power by establishing a citizen assembly to make laws. This eventually developed into a direct democracy where government was effected by vote in fortnightly assembly meetings.

Democritus, in the 5th century, proposed his version of atomism. States that all matter was composed of small indivisible particles called atoms.

The commanded sections of the army and navy. And as the executive government was in the hands of inexperienced citizens selected by lot, any important decision by the assembly of the citizens usually had a rider 'the generals to implement'. Unlike the other office bearers, the general were nominated one from each tribe - the Athenians didn't to be led in battle by someone whose name was drawn out of a hat.

In Solon's time, the government was by the oligarchs (the rich few). Solon's task was to bring reforms to prevent the poorer oppressed majority from revolting, and he removed det slavery and recovered those sold into slavery abroad. His partial solution did not solve the problem and the people backed a tyrant to provide a mere equitable solution. This improved the situation, but it was not until 50 years later that Cleisthenes established a limited democracy which started providing a more even balance.

Well, trade and knowledge. Willing to let others enter theit city.

Athens surrendered unconditionally to the Peloponnesian League forces besieging it.

It was stripped of its empire and had to live on its own limited resources, which put an end to the lavish expenditure on the city and inhabitants, and dominance of its fleet, all previously subsidised by the 180 cities of its empire. It became a second-rate power thereafter, able to intervene only in concert with other cities rather than dragging other cities along with it into its adventurous interference in the affairs of other cities.

in the Trojan war the greek's pretended they had given up their siege of troy and pretended to go home, leaving a giant wooden horse behind as a supposed trophy but they hid greek warriors in the wooden horse so they were taken into the city with the horse. At night the greek warriors climbed ut of the horse, opened the city gates for the rest of the greek army that had now returned and they slaughtered the trojans in their beds.

The types of people who attended Ancient Greek performances were men and only men. They would come from the whole Greek empire to see performances such as the Festivals of Dionysia.

The men would sit in segments of the theatre as tribes.

is it

a. the hated the government

b.they blamed the government for the plague

c. those who suffered from the plague tended to be criminals.

or D. they didn't know what became over then

its in social studies

It was the first place where a form of democracy was implemented, thus freeing people to think openly and differently. Philosophical and social debates were common even between everyday people. This climate helped the introduction of new ideas and some great great art.

Because ancient Greece and the ancient world in general presented much more opportunity than today, instead of being born into wealth or the right circles, one with enough intelligence could prove himself great, the world wasn't already claimed, there was much knowledge to be learned and much land to take. The world wasn't set out before you and as such there was a chance to be in the history books. Not like today.

Atleast thats my view of it.

There was one Peloponnesian War. It was finally sparked by Athens' refusal to lift a ruinous trade ban on Megara.

In today's terms yes. But back then, the notion that every male citizen could vote was revolutionary.

Initially a limited democracy based on landowners, then it was extended to a radical democracy ruled by all adult males who were citizens, who met in assembly and directed government.

Sparta and Athens had been allies for some time. Sparta helped Athens in its struggle for democracy in late 507 BCE, and had also sent its army to help Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE 10 years earlier but had arrived too late for that battle. Athens was not present at Thermopylae, its forces were committed to manning its navy at the simultaneous battle of Artemesium. So the answer is False - Athens and Sparta were allies long before joining other southern Greek cities which united to repel the Persian invasion, and remained allies until 460 BCE when they had a falling out.

To work in the home and vegetable garden, to bear and raise children, to supervise any domestic slaves. They were kept in virtual purdah, getting our occasionally for a women's religious festival.

Other women were slaves, courtesans and prostitutes.

In Australia and Athens you have to be a citizen over 18 to vote.

They also both had a structured Government where there is a political assembly, law makers, the people who put the laws into practice and the people who asses the laws. All of these groups (law makers etc.) are one of the greatest ideas and biggest influences to today's modern democracy.

Another great similarity is that any one can express their opinion in a political assembly/meeting.

In Australia and Athens you have to be over 18 to join politics.

Athens was a direct democracy where the male citizens controlled the activites of the cty-state, meeting every couple of weeks to make decisions. They were fairly easily led by demagogues (= leaders of the people) who brought forward plausible propositions which looked good to the people (until they learned better by later bitter experience, when they instituted a crime of 'Misleading the People with the death penalty attached).

A chief demagogue was Pericles who was overconfident of Athens' ability to use its walls to protect the city and port, and the navy to inflict damage on any attacking city and as well protect the import of food during a prolongued seige, and comtinue to collect the taxes it imposed on its empire to pay for all this.

The moderating conservative force of Thucydides son of Melesias and his party was lost when Pericles had him ostracised (banished from the city), so there was no coherent opposition to the opportunists bent on pushing too far the Peloponnesian League cities led by Sparta. The Assembly accepoted the urgings of Pericles and the ancompromising activists to vote f0r war, rather than the compromise for peace proposed by Sparta.
