First an oligarchy headed by Cimon after the Persian invasion, then briefly Ephialtes who brought back democratic government, then Perricles until his death from the plague, then a series of populists who led the city decline.

In order to become a citizen of Athens, it had to be granted by the Assembly. Up to 400 BCE, citizenship could be granted to large numbers of people at one time. By the fourth century, however, it was only on a person by person basis. A special vote was held with a quorum of 6000 and was usually granted as thanks for some service that was done for Athens.

He was a Macedonian and not a citizen of Athens.

None. Greece primarily has a Mediterranean climate, featuring mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. This climate occurs at all coastal locations, including Athens, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, Crete, the Peloponnese and parts of the Sterea Ellada(Central Continental Grece) region. The Pindus mountain range strongly affects the climate of the country, as areas to the west of the range are considerably wetter on average (due to greater exposure to south-westerly systems bringing in moisture) than the areas lying to the east of the range (due to a rain shadow effect).

The mountainous areas of Northwestern Greece (parts of Epirus, Central Greece, Thessaly, Western Macedonia) as well as in the mountainous central parts of Peloponnese - including parts of the prefectures of Achaia, Arcadia and Laconia - feature an Alpine climate with heavy snowfalls. The inland parts of northern Greece, in Central Macedonia and East Macedonia and Thrace feature a temperate climate with cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers with frequent thunderstorms. Snowfalls occur every year in the mountains and northern areas, and brief snowfalls are not unknown even in low-lying southern areas, such as Athens.

Athena was the most important, she was Athens patron Goddess. Poisdeon was quite important as well, seeing as he and Athena both wanted Athens, she obviously won.

There was no name for it, but it depended on how much money you had, so the more money you had, the higher you were socially. This was divided into four different social groups.

When the Ionian Greek cities in Asia Minor revolted against Persian rule, Eretria and Athens came to the assistance of their daughter cities there. They went too far by burning down the Persian provinvial capital of Sardis, and so persuaded the Persian king Darius to send a punitive expedition against them.

Eretria was taken, but Athens repelled it at Marathon and this encouraged the Persians to come back ten years later with a major invasion.

Athens was pretty oppressive and in the of incidents such as the coercion of Carystus in 472bc, the revolt and subjugation of Naxos in 469bc and the result of Thasos at around 465bc Athyens wasn't afraid to show her immense power. The tribute that was imposed to fund the war effort during the Persian War was diverted to rebuilding the temples of Athens after the Peace of Callias which assured an end to hostilities between Persia and the Greeks which showed that Athens were using the money of other states under the pretense of good for all when in fact the member states would only receive some benefit if they were to visit Athens and admire the architecture. All this and more shows that Athens was indeed a reasonably oppressive leader of the Delian League in the years before the Peloponnesian War as the Delian League became more and more of an Athenian Empire.

From the second half of the Fifth Century BCE it was a direct democracy - that is all legislation had to be passed by the popular assembly and all male citizens were entitled to attend and vote (as opposed to representative democracy where electors elect representatives to a legislature). In addition almost all public offices were filled by lot - that is they were selected from amongst all citizens by a lot machine, ie randomly. So (with exception of generals for obvious reasons) any citizen could occupy the highest offices. In the courts, there were no individual judges - the judges were large juries (typically 500, but up to 2,000) who decided the cases. They also were empannelled by lot.

Pericles (490-429 BCE) was a Greek Archon who develop social programs that paid Athenian men to build beautiful monuments in Athens. Though he began as an Archon, he is often referred to as the Tyrant of Athens. Plutarch details Pericles political life and the monuments he had built in his Life of Pericles.
