Athens

No. Paris is the capital of France. Athens is the capital of Greece.

During one of the expeditions in Latin America, Alexander Humboldt, a German explorer and intelectual was fascinated with Bogota because he saw that this was the capital in Latin America with the most scientists, libreries, writers, philosophers, observatories, museums, and intelectuals in Latin America. Plus the fact, which this explorer did not mention is that in Bogota, Colombia the spanish language is spoken almost perfectl, according to the University of Salamanca, and the Real Spanish Academy in Spain.

Sparta had a more militaristic state than Athens. Sparta had all men training for the military at age seven and ending at age sixty (so basically their whole life was for the military). Also, Sparta valued women much more than Athens. In Athens, women had no rights at all and were only there to reproduce and to clean up after the men and manage the home. They also took care of the babies. Unlike the Sparta women who were allowed to have military training (but could not serve in the military), play sports, learn about the arts, go out in public, and own property/stores. Those from Sparta were descendants of the Dorian invaders, however those from Athens were descendants of the Ionians. Athens founded democracy, and believed that the individual was important, while Sparta believed in the state rather than the individual, with a government based on a oligarchic system. Sparta based their society on the repression of 'Helots' (slaves). Athens freed their slaves and abolished debt slavery.

Sparta civilization was all about power and battle; every boy was trained to grow up and be a military weapon. On the other hand, Athens was all about advancements in technologies and not so much battle. Athens' military was mostly filled with potters, bakers, speakers, and so on. It was very much different than Sparta

The good things about ancient Athens is, Athens is they had really good poets, they had great mathematics skills, they also have great artist. The bad things about ancient Athens is women didn't have many freedoms like the freedom to vote, go to the agora and all the things the men get to. Also another good things about Athens is it is still the capital of Greece, but Sparta is not a city anymore.

Pericles was an Athenian general and political leader who succeeded his mentor Ephialtes who was murdered in 460 BCE by the aristocrats for reintroducing democracy in Athens. Pericles took the democracy to a more extreme stage where the assembly of citizens made the decisions and the Council of 5000 implemented them. He led Athens into a war with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. He died of plague a couple of years into the 27-year war, so we don't know if he could have guided Athens safely out of the war he brought on.

As we don't have the worksheet, we can't help.

Sparta and Athens each headed influential blocs of the Greek city-states - the Dorians and the Ionians, respectively. And each was prepared to resist the Persian enticements to join their Empire. This frustrated the Persian strategy to bribe and subvert the city-states - successful in northern Greece, but opposed by a united Dorian-Ionian group in the south.

Women in Athens were not citizens - citizens were males 18 and over who could prove their Athenian ancestry.

Women were kept in the home in virtual purdah, bearing and raising children, tending the house, vegetable garden, chickens etc, getting out only for an occasional women's religious festival.

Athens' democracy consisted mostly of the occasional plebiscite, comparable with today's referendum. Only freeborn male citizens could participate; women were considered mere 'possessions' of their husbands or fathers who had power of even life and death over them. There were no 'democratic' institutions. The plebiscites mentioned above were usually carefully orchestrated. Which was easy, because the ordinary citizens of Athens all were 'clients' of one or another important family to which they were loyalty-bound and who they visited on a regular basis to pay their respects or to ask for favors or protection..

In terms of day-to-day government Athens was an Oligarchy, run by the members of a small group of rich and powerful families. The idea of Athens being the 'cradle of democracy' is largely an invention of 19th century poet Lord Tennyson who in this way (and succesfully) drummed up support from Britain and France for Greece's revolution against its Ottoman overlords.

Their systems initially developed in parallel, becoming limited democracies. Then Athens went further under the influence of Pericles who used a radical democracy to suppress his political opponents. This radical democracy led Athens into misadventures and a long war which it lost, and it eventually reverted to a limited democracy.

Philosophy was not invented, it evolved as different people proposed different ideas. Philosophy then included what we today call science.

During its so-called golden age, Athens was rich enough to attract philosophers from around the Greek world - including such examples as Euclid (mathematics), Plato (metaphysics, politics, dialectic), Aristotle (ethics, psychology, five elements, motion, optics), Theophrastus (logic, physics, ethics).

The 'democratic' reforms of Cleisthenes were a very complicated revision of religious and tribal associations that had endured for centuries.

Geographically Athens and Sparta are very close but have different values, lifestyles, and cultures. Athens has a population of 140,000 while Sparta has 100,000 inhabitants

Athenians included its working class, Sparta had serfs whom it had conquered in the southern Peloponnese.

It was called ostracism. The citizens were asked to vote on a 10-year banishment of the victim. It wasn't only the 'bad' politicians - it was anyone who opposed the dominant clique, which may have itself been 'bad'.

Philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle,Phidias - the greatest sculptor and Pericles a great leader were from this golden age of Athens.

It ended when Athens lost the Peloponnesian War and was stripped of its empire, and the empire's money which bankrolled the prosperity.

Apella.

They had the letter A (alpha) on their shields, and their city symbol was the owl of Athena, their patron godess.
