Athens

Democracy

There are conflicting ideas, some argue that it was only members of the polis (male citizens) who attended (i.e. no women, children, slaves, prisoners etc.), while others argue performances honoring Dionysus, and other Gods later, were so important religiously and socially that EVERYONE came. Having studied theatre history for a decade now, I am inclined to agree with the former over the latter, as women in Ancient Greece rarely left the confines of the home, for to do so was to invite scandal and was believed to be quite dangerous.

At any rate, performances are believed to have lasted all day, ending at sunset since there wasn't any advanced lighting technology available as yet. The audiences were notoriously rowdy and came and went, drank and ate meals and argued the merits of the plays performed. This was a social time that is believed to have spurred democracy by offering a place where people came together communally and debated the major moral issues presented by the Greek tragedies and the satirical messages of the comedies. The largest theatres could hold up to 15,000 people who came from all over to see the performance competitions (3 plays in one day).

the golden age is mportant because there was lots of gold and you could get rich

Sparta had won the marathon part of the war.

I believe they are called Athenians.

the social sturcture of Athens was a very matriacrchy society.

the social sturcture of Athens was a very matriacrchy society.

The social structure of Ancient Athens is as follows

Women- can be the wife of any of th bellow- could not vote and rarely left the house

Citizens- male people whose parents parents parents parents were born in Athens.

Metics- born outside of city walls, could not own propety

Slaves- people whos hometowns have been captured. did most most of the work

papyrus, spices, fabrics, metals, ship building materials, linen pitch, grain. Also wine, pottery, and olive oil. Taken from Economy of Greece page on wikipedia. :D

Philip did not conquer Persia - he was assassinated on the eve of his departure for Persia and his son Alexander took over the project.

The Hellenic League or League of Corinth was formed in 337 BCE was formed by him in an attempt to end inter-city fighting, give him dominance of the Greek world, of which he was named Hegemon (leader), and provide the basis for an invasion of Persia with the Greek base secure.

The discovery was of very rich veins of silver in the mines at Laurium.

It didn't make them filthy rich, there was only enough for a one-off handout for all the citizens. However Themistocles pointed out to them the Persian king's determination to punish them for the defeat they had inflicted on Persia at Marathon seven years earlier, and persuaded them to spend the money instead on building 100 warships. Another 100 ships were added the following year, and these ships became the core of the Greek resistance to the Persian invasion of 480 BCE.

There is no period of time found called the Golden Age of Novel. There is the Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Heroic Ages.

Yes, in the year 427 BC Megara lost the port city of Minoa to Athens and this loss contributed to growing civil unrest caused by blockades and food shortages. Pro-democratic Megarians revolted against the Oligarchy and Megara became for a short time a pro-Athenian democracy.

Socrates was tried for expressing thoughts the rulers considered to be radical and debased. This was not unusual, but what made Socrates stand out is that instead or asking for mercy and accepting banishment, he chose a death sentence, which he accomplished by drinking hemlock.

You wanna know OK here here is your answer: U SUCK LOSER U FAIL FOR IT HAHAHA:D xD :DDD

Since Athens was a democracy the citizens won them over by politics.

Athens was not destroyed.

The Golden Age got it's name by the Spartans conquering it, then naming it after their fiercest warrior, Bobaganush.

I want to find camera stores in Athens Greece in order to buy a digital camera when I go there. Samsung, Sony, Nikon or others could be considered. I would also like to know prices. Thank you

Athenians chose the members of the council each year in a lottery. They believed this system was fairer than an election, which might favor the rich. There is one drawback to this method. Who ever was picked could be a bad person and change the Athenian history.

About 40. This doesn't mean that people died at 40, but that early childhood diseases, plague and war balance those who lived to their 70s, creating the low average.

It is difficult to come at even what the population of Athens was - the best estimate would be 200,000 - males, females, children, resident aliens and slaves. The percentage rate estimated to be literate - and of course who literate does a person have to be to be classed as literate - are questions to which the answers given by scholars are sheer speculation and vary wildly according to the desire of each to promote their views - extreme or conservative.

A best guess would be 10 per cent of the population. It is interesting that in democratic Athens, any public task seemed to be carried out by a team of ten, so perhaps this had something to do with getting someone in each team who could read properly.

No. It's gross, but no.

Not uless they are men
