Athens

The establishment of the Delian League allowed Athens to protect its sea borders and lessen the threat of becoming a target for the Persian Empire. This alliance caused Athens to become the dominant city-state in Greece.

I understand it was only Pericles' regime that produced any real democracy and it died with him. I also heard an anecdote about that. It claimed the returning aristocracy that Pericles confronted said to each other, "Now that we can't force them into doing what we want, we will need to fool them into it."

I think that explains well what happens today. I wonder if politicians found that so easy then as it is now.

Attica was the territory of the city-state of Athens. Athens was the city, Attica stretched for 30 miles from the Saronic Gulf and port of Piraeus north to the Hermettus Mountains.

The city of Athens is situated just north of Piraeus.

They are based out of Malvern, PA.

According to the "Through the Ages" historical time line book by Alf Henrickson, Draco, "who enjoyed public respect and admiration - so much so that on one occasion when he attended the theatre he was applauded by the entire audience who began showering him with articles of clothing in token of their admiration. As a result, Draco was suffocated."

First to move the funds to Athens from Delos to control them. Then when peace was made with Persia Athens continued to collect them annually, by force if necessary. Athens then diverted the money to maintain its navy to collect the funds and spent it on its own city and keeping half its citizens on the public payroll. It was a real Golden Age for Athens.

Initially the citizens were structured according to their financial worth mlisted in the numbers of measures of produce they produces - 500 measure-men, 300 measures, 200 measures. Those below the 200 measures could not sustain a family and were workmen andnot citizens. With the coming of the democracy, ll those who could prove Athenian birth to their tribe t the age of 18 were citizens, regardless of their financial status, and could gain a living as sailors in the fleet, garrisons in the Athenian empire, and in the public service jobs and courts which proliferates, financed by the empire it created after the Persian War.

To the Athenians the courts were political, and ran on several juries of 500 each day. Then there was the Council of 500, the 20,000 in the warships and 10,000 in the garrisons - plenty of work for everyone, all finances by money forced from the 180 cities of the Athenian empire. And the citizens still at home met in fortnightly assembly to direct the conduct of affairs, which was then carried out by the Council of 500. And to underpin all this were about 70,000 slaves, nearly a quarter of Athens' population.

The Tyrants were in charge of Athens

Women were not more important then men were in Sparta and Athens. Men just had a lot of pride in the selfs and thought that the woman should not be treated as well. They just plain had to much pride in themselfs.

No, demosthenes was an Athenian general.

Most of the cells are made of mostly cytoplasm. It contains all the living material in a cell except for the nucleus. This gel-like area of the cell contains the chemicals needed by the cell. It resembles the white part of a raw egg. This is where most of the activities take place, as it contains all of the other cells parts, or organelles.

Athens was able to beat Sparta because they had a bettter naval unit than the Spartins

yes Athens and Sparta

I think that Athens would be a best place to live in ancient Greece because of their government. It allows the citizens to make decisions. In Athens the government is a democracy. They had one leader also they had a council of 500 people that help make decisions. I think because there government is a democracy that is controlled by the people the things that the citizens want to happen would happen and that would benefit for everyone. They had three branches of government legislative, executive and judicial just like us now and that seems to work really well. A other reason I would like to live in Athens is the education for boys. In Athens boys get to learn to read, write, play music, write poetry and to speak publicly. They also had military training for fitness. A other reason I would like to live there instead of Sparta is because they had extensive trade and Sparta had very little to no trade.

Athens was named after Athena, the patron goddess of the city. She and Poseidon fought over who would be patron, and in the end, they had a competition. They both had to create a gift to give to the Athenians, and whoever had the better gift won. Poseidon made a salt water spring (being the god of the seas) and Athena created the olive tree. Needless to say, she won.

We simply don't know.

Yes that's what they use to stop chaos or bad decisions

They aren't really alike but, there is one thing : They both can't vote.
