Athens

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.

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.

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.

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!
