Athens

Unlike many other early social/governmental systems, wealth was not required to be a citizen of Athens.

Enthusiasm for meetings collapsed at the end of the Peloponnesian War, with the people disenchanted with the mistakes of the democracy which had led them into total defeat.

Two measures were adopted to generate attendance - having the state slaves herd the unwilling into the assembly with red chalked ropes, with penalties for anyone with marked clothing. This was of course superficial, as people could just stay at home on the relevant day and time.

The other was to offer money - half an obol was attractive to many who had little else to do with their time - the first 6000 into the assembly got the money. So an audience of 6k was assured. Of course the problem was that it didn't necessarily attract the best people to influence state affairs, just as the same fee given to jurors at the law courts didn't get the most perceptive jurors in either.

It did however, for whatever reasons, help re-establish interest in democratic government amongst the despair of the war defeat and casualties, loss of empire and consequent loss of the state revenue which had underwritten Athens' heyday of glory and financial hand-outs to the public.

In 478 BCE, after the Persian invasion was repelled, Athens organised and led the Delian League of about 180 city-states in Asia Minor and the Aegean Islands to keep Persia from recapturing them. When peace was finally made with Persia in 449 BCE, Athens used it's maritime power to turn the League into an empire of its own, collecting the annual contributions by force.

Athena was the goddess of wisdom and battle. Athens was named after Athena when she beat poseidon (god of the sea) at a challenge for the city.

Athens gave free males over the age of 20 the opportunity to vote and speak freely.

The lawmaking organization in Athens that every male belonged to was known as the Assembly. Every male was given an opportunity to speak, no matter their station in life.

because they are dumb

because of where and how Thermopylae was built there was only one way for the Persians to come in, the front. Plus the Spartans attack method phalanx was very good on frontward attacks Thermopylae was the perfect place for the Spartans to fight even though they lost.

No, they wanted to use Athens as a base, so they contented themselves with destroying the walls, and breaking the statues of the gods in retaliation for the Athenians having destroyed the Persian gods in the Persian provincial city of Sardis in Asia Minor when Athenian forces had invaded it 18 years earlier during the Ionian revolt.

Seapower: They relied on the water to fight.

no, Sparta and Athens were both the wealthiest city-states in Ancient and Classical Greece. they were totaly different city-states, Athens was the largest, but frankly Sparta is just more famous!

They were verandas of buildings. The ones on public buildings were used as meeting places - the Stoic philosophers got their title because they met on the stoas.
