Athens

Slaves were the property of their owners, had no rights and could be dealt with as their master pleased. Some were domestic, some farming, some working in the silver mines. Consequently some were treated well, those in the mines had short bitter lives. Female slaves were sexual property. Out of a population of Athens of about 250,000, about 70,000 were slaves.

Aristotle believed good conduct meant pursuing the Golden mean.

There were no judges and lawyers at trials in ancient Athens. There was a large jury of 500 or more empanelled; it lasted one day; the prosecutor and defence had equal time; there were no rules of evidence of statements under oath - the jury usually had local knowledge, so blatant lying damaged you case; the jury voted with a yes or no tablet placed in a box; the first vote was for guilty or not guilty; the second vote was for the punishment - each side proposed a punishment - as the jury could only select one or the other, the proposals had to be reasonable or it would be ignored; there were no set punishments - it could be anything - one convicted man proposed paying for a warship for a year, which was attractive to the jury.

The effect of all this was that the large jury was the equivalent of an opinion poll of the citizenry, so trial outcomes reflected the standards an opinion of the whole community, rather than a small segment of legal practitioners and riggable of fallible small juries and set codes of punishment.

Typically, slaves were punished with whippings. Most commonly, fifty of them.

Persia had possession of Athens during the invasions of the summer of 480 BCE and the summer of 479 BCE. Cyrus died 50 years before that. The Persian king during those two short periods was Xerxes the Great.

Warfare between the Greek cities in Sicily had been going on throughout the Fifth Century BCE.

In a formal lull in the Peloponnesian War, Athens' ambitions led it to try to establish itself in Sicily by supporting Segesta against Syracuse in 416 BCE.

Syracuse destroyed the Athenian expeditionary force.

He was appointed for a year to introduce political reforms to prevent a looming civil war, as the farming class revolted against the domination and profiteering of the aristocratic rulers.

the golden age of conservation was from the 1900's to 1910 when Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir worked together to preserve hundreds of acres of land in the United States

They are different - at its peak, Athens was governed by fortnightly assemblies of the citizens, and the council implemented its decisions. In Australia, as in other modern democracies, citizens elect members to parliament, and the parliamentarians make the dcisions, not necessarily in accordance with the wishes of the citizens who elected them for a set term.

It was a confederation of eastern Greek city-states, formed after the defeat of the Persian invasion of mainland Greece 480-479 BCE.

After repelling the invasion, the Greek leading city-state, Sparta, proposed evacuating the Greeks under Persian rule from Asia Minor to avoid recurrence of the revolution problems which had sparked the war.

Athens proposed an alternative - it would form a league of about 180 of the affected city-states which would free them, backed by naval forces supplied by Athens, from Persian control. This Delian League took its name from Delos, the island where its treasury to pay for the defence forces was located.

As time passed, members of the League tried to defect, or not pay their annual contribution. Athens ruthlessly enforce payment, sending out 100 warships each year to collect the money, by force where necessary.

When after 30 years, Persia agreed to peace, and to stay away from the cities, Athens forced the cities to continue paying the war funds. It moved the treasury to Athens and spent the money on the warships which extorted the money, and on its own glorification and public handouts. As Pericles admitted, Athens turned this anti-Persian Empire league into an empire of its own.

hahahah you are definetly a kid from la salle heres my essay....dont copy it Around 750 B.C., Athens slowly progressed from a monarchy, which was ruled by one man, the king. The king almost always inherited the power by family succession. They quickly jumped from a monarchy to an aristocracy, which is ruled by a small group of nobles who wrested power from the king. From there, it went to a tyranny, then finally to a democracy. A democracy is ruled by the people. Their democracy encouraged similar reforms in a number of Greek city-states. Unfortunately, around the 7th and 8th century, there was discontent in Athens, and things started to fall apart. Economically, the small farmers were unable to compete with low priced grain imports. They had to borrow money from wealthy nobles, and sold their land as security. When they were unable to pay their debt, they would lose their land, and most likely sold into slavery. Politically, the common people had no voice in the government. As the king lost power, control passed entirely into the hands of the aristocracy, or the wealthy nobles.

Women are perceived as exercising leadership through strong interpersonal skills. Male leadership can be perceived as more direct, impersonal, and focused on results.
