Athens

Well if you were a girl, then it would be a tough choice, because women weren't treated very well in Athens and couldn't participate in most things. But in Sparta you were expected to be strong and healthy and withstand harsh beating and fasting so you could become a strong warrior when you grow up. But if you were a boy, then definitely Athens, because they were pretty much living lives like normal happy people and lived in a normal environment.

Athens had a large council of 500 with 50 on duty 24/7 to handle any contingency which arose. The number of Councillors was necessary as they were chosen by lot from amongst all the citizens, without regard to their capabilities - having large numbers was based on the odds of there being a good chance that there would be competent people amongst them to offset the dummos. So having a smaller council would have been very risky.

Athens

The direct answer is that they did go to Athens.

The invasion was a punitive expedition against Eretria and Athens for their intervention in the Persian empire by supporting a revolt by Miletus, in the course of which they overdid things by burning the Persian provincial capital of Sardis.

The punitive force first laid siege to Eretria on the island of Euboia, captured it by traitors opening the gates. It then turned its attention across the strait to Marathon, landing there and attracting the Athenian army there to oppose their overland advance to Athens. They had the exiled Athenian tyrant Hippias with them, whom they intended to install as puppet Persian ruler. Hippias' supporters were going to open the gates of Athens to let the Persians in.

The stalemate persisted at Marathon. The Athenians kept to the hills where the Persian cavalry couldn't get at them. Then on the tenth day, they saw the Persian cavalry being embarked on ships, and seized the opportunity to rush down and defeat the inferior Persian infantry, hoping also to capture the fleet with the cavalry on board. The fleet got away.

The Athenians then woke up to what was happening. The cavalry was being rowed around Cape Sunion to make a landing opposite Athens and gallop up to the city where Hippias' party was going to open the gates for them. The Athenian army ran over the hills back to form up in front of the city just as the Persian cavalry was riding up. It was a near run thing. The cavalry, frustrated, reembarked and the Persians returned home.

So yes, the Persians did go to Athens, it was their plan all along, to pin the Athenian army down at Marathon while their cavalry captured the city. The Athenians would then be squeezed between the city and the Persian army. Not a bad plan, frustrated by those hardy Athenian peasant farmers who were able to run the first Marathon 26 miles over the hills carrying their equipment, having already fought a battle that morning.

Marathon runners get it easy nowadays, but don't have the incentive those blokes had.

Pheidippides is a character in a traditional Greek story who ran from Athens to Sparta to request help to battle the Persians. Afterward, he ran from Marathon to Athens to announce Greece's victory.

Athena won the competition of creating the gift the people would like most. Poseidon created a water spring, Athena created an olive tree. the people liked Athena's gift more, and named their city after her.

He pillaged the 180 city-states of the Athenian empire, which he had helped found, to get the money to pay for 'glorifying Athens'. Spending the money, originally designed to protect against Persian invasion, on this, and putting half of Athens on the public payroll, bought him great political support and promoted his ideas of a radical democracy which suppressed opposition to him.

The 27-year Peloponnesian War was between Athens and its empire, and the Peloponnesian League of Greek city-states led by Sparta. The Persians intervened late in the war by giving the Peloponnesians the money to get a fleet able to stand up to the hitherto dominant Athenian fleet, so causing Athens to lose the war.

Athens was named after Athena, the city/state's patron goddess. Athena is the goddess of wisdom so I guess you could go on from there.

The distance between the above places is 5935 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance. The actual distance may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport precise distance.

Sparta girls were trained in the school of their sisterhood, they were taught physical education. They took a fitness test at the age of 18-20 and were then assigned to a husband and allowed home.

Athenian women had a little freedom, they were only allowed to leave the house to attend weddings, funerals, and some religious festivals. Women lived in a special section of the house called the gynaeceum.

The Peloponesion War ends and Athens falls so Sparta takes over.

Athens is in Greece. Greece is a country.

After peace was made with Persia, Athens continued to maintain a fleet and send it out to continue to levy the annual contributions of the Grek cities in the anti-Persian league which it led, effectively converting the alliance into an empire.

These funds were spent maintining the enforcement-fleet, beautifying Athens and subsidising its cultural activities, and keeping half its people on the public payroll.

Golden indeed, from an Athenian point of view, but not necessarily so from the other cities.

There were no judges presiding or directing. The jury decided on the evidence as they heard it. Therefore:

1. It kept a good part of the citizens in paid work.

2. A jury of that size in a citizen population of 50,000 was effectively the equivalent of a modern opinion poll, and so was held to deliver the will of the people at large.

3. That many people in a limited population knew amongst them what was going on in the community so there was no point in either prosecution or defence lying, as it would only alienate the jury. They had to stick to fairly accurate evidence and statements.

4. The jury also decided on the sentence. On a guilty verdict, Prosecution and Defence each presented a penalty. The jury had to decide on one or the other - they could not take anything in between. This made the Prosecution and Defnce propose realistic penalties hoping to attract the jurors to their realistic proposal. It also gave scope for innovation eg one defendant offered to maintain a warship for a year - this was very attractive to most of the jury as it was a very good saving to their state funds.

Pity our systems today don't have these beneficial features and are deigned to line the pockets of lawyers and look after the 'rights' of the guilty and not the rights of the victim or the good of society.

There is record of a jury of 2,000 in one important trial.

The "Century of Gold" was somewhat like the Golden Age of Athens, in that both produced a large amount of literature, art and philosophy. Philosophers in both eras also questioned faith and reason.

The name of his wife is not known. The only information about her is that she was the wife of Hipponicus, before being married to Pericles. He also had two sons by his wife. Then he left her for a woman named Aspasia of Miletus. He had 2 sons by his wife and another child by his mistress.
