Athens

These two forms of government: Democracy and Republic, are not only dissimilar but antithetical, reflecting the sharp contrast between (a) The Majority Unlimited, in a Democracy, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority, and (b) The Majority Limited, in a Republic under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority.

Depending on which state, or polis, you lived in, there were many occupations for men in ancient Greece. Some commonly held positions included farmer, shepherd, fisherman, blacksmith, statesman, or warrior (most men of ancient Greece spent a portion of their life serving in the army). There were also a few more 'skilled' trades such as teacher, musician, player, etc.

The role of the woman in ancient Greece was as homemaker. A woman would look after the children, cook meals, and weave.

Pericles.

It was the Golden Age of Athens. He encouraged big spending and the expansion of Athenian enforcement of the collection of taxes from Athens' empire and spending it on the glorification of Athens and handouts to its citizens.

Athens had a very limited farming land area with poor soil, so it had to trade with other areas to get the variety and quality of food and goods it needed. And trading expanded the economy and wealth of the city-state.

Agora.

Athens is part of Greece.

The main criticism of ancient Athenian democracy is the limitations Athenian law placed upon who could be considered a citizen. The only Athenians who were considered full citizens were Athens-born men of at least 18 years of age. And to be considered Athens-born, both of one's parents had to have been citizens. But while women could be considered citizens, they had no voice in the Assembly, and no real rights within the democracy. Furthermore, slaves had no voice whatsoever in the Athenian democracy.

Living from the early 7th to the late 6th century BCE, the ancient Athenian Solon is considered to be one of the central founders of Athenian democracy. For instance, against the tendency to focus power in the hands of a few wealthy citizens, Solon worked to put political power in the hands of citizen-groups and to ensure that all classes of society would be represented in the society's decisions and laws.

They both were very sophisticated. Spartans became scholars at a young age compared to athenians became scholars at later ages. Spartans however were also taught to be fierce cunning warriors; and that death was best in battle. Athenians were more in numbers but they lacked Strategical Warfare. However both of them did worship Offspring of Zeus. Ares and Athena were brother and sister. The Rivalry of Athens and Sparta was a Sibling like rivalry at first. But in the end, Sparta forced Athens into surrender. Athens and Sparta did rule in other city states also.

Put the right answer or dont put anything at all!

Pericles

In ancient Greece, Sparta was more powerful. While Athens focused more on literature, Spartan children went to school to train for war. They went through multiple hard tests like stepping on needles and fighting each other.

I think the person who wrote the above has some mistakes. You just rewrote the questions.

Athens, Greece was one of the birthplaces of democracy. Athenian democracy was a direct democracy in which every citizen voted directly on issues of importance, rather than electing representatives to vote for them.

Men if they were not training in military, or discussing politics went to the Theatre for entertainment. To watch dramas that they could relate to, including tragedies and comedies. These often involved current politics and gods in some form. It is thought that women were not allowed to watch theatre or perform at the theatre, although male actors did play women roles.

Lives of Women in Ancient Greece were closely tied to domestic work, spinning, weaving and other domestic duties. They were not involved in public life or in politics. The live were normally quite confined to the house although one public duty was acting as a priestess at a temple.

Children in ancient Greece usually occupied their time playing with toys and games.

Almost all Greeks in ancient Greece held a shared belief in the same, extremely fascinating, religion.

There were 500 people in the Athenian democracy. Each year 500 citizens were chosen to participate in the Atheninan democracy.

Military training, having a serf population to support them while the Athenians had to farm and do military training in their spare time.

The jury was the arbitrtor - no judges or lawyrs - deciin both guilt and sentece. They comprised several hundred members, so their decision was efectvely an opnion poll of the whole Athenian population.

And in such a small area and population as was Athens, jurors knew just about everything of what was going on in the community, so both prosecutors and defendants had to keep their cases pretty clean to avoid alienating a wised-up jury.

The underlying problem was the jury composition - the members were mostly comprisd of the old men - they had the time to do jury service as they did not have to leave farm/trade/businss to serve, but wanted the fee for service. This was a mixed blessing - the wisdom and experience of age, but also the lower part of the population who wanted the money rather han a true cross-secton of the populatio to give true 'opinion poll' decisions.

In the mid 330s BC Athens was conquered by the Macedonians from north of Greece.

At the battle of Marathon, Athens defeated a punitive expedition by Persia designed to bring Athens and Eretria under control after they interfered in a revolt by Greek cities in Asia Minor. As a result the Persians determined to bring all the Greek city-states under control to ensure peace within the Persian Empire and, after winning over some of the Greek city-states by diplomacy and bribers, they launched an invasion of mainland Greece to gain control of the remainder.

The Greek world comprised over 2,000 independent city-states, each of which had its own government. The governments varied - monarchies, tyrannies, oligarchies and democracies. Cities switched between the types as they found that the existing type failed.

Athens is an example - it started as a monarchy, aristocrats replaced the kings, tyrants were appointed to replace corrupt aristocrats, tyrants became unpopular and were replaced by a democracy, the democracy failed and was replaced by oligarchs.
