Athens

The majority of Greeks lived sparse lives - there was no general oversupply of food and resources.

However the Spartans had taken over the southern Peloponnese Peninsula, and the serf population it created kept up a good supply to the Spartan citizens.

The Athenians got a great lift after the Persian War when they converted the Delian League of 180 cities it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own and lived high on the proceeds.

Each had their own source of exploitation of others.

he wrote the history of the peoplonisean war and fought as an Athens in the war against Sparta. He aslo had created a speech.

fock you

Ask Mr. Marvin Smith.

The answer is odes ;)

odes is the way O D E S

They were democracies, so the government responded to th citizens.

The functions of sculpture in ancient Rome were the same as those in the Greek tradition. Statues were the a bit like an equivalent of paintings because both the Greeks and Romans only had fresco paintings. Originally Roman sculpture was portraiture (busts). Then they adopted Greek sculpture. The best sculptors were Greek. Most Roman sculptors made replica of the 'mass' market. Some Roman statues were about Greek myths.

Employment in juries, garrisons, public administration, councillors. Nearly half the adult male population was in some form of public employ.

While Athenians revered politics and public services, and found participating in either an honor, the Spartans were the exact opposite. Spartans would say that the only worthy public service is serving your country is in the military. Spartans left the majority of running the government to ephors. Men to old or to maimed to be of any help in the military, men that had a son killed were also included in this group (if they couldn't lie their way out of it). This difference can all be seen in one defining fact; Spartans not only let their helots participate in the government but gave them a level of power that the Athenians usually left for only some of the more respected citizens of Athens. Also should be mentioned the word laconic directly applies to the spartan way of public speaking, something they detested.

Anticlea's grandson is none other than Telemachus ( whom is also the son of Odysseus).

All adult male citizens could vote, but they had to be born in Athens.

The citizens (adult males) all met in fortnightly Assembly and gave decisions and directions.

The Council of 500 (selected by lot) implemented these directions between assembly meetings and handled day to day problems, calling special extra assembly meetings for serious issues. 50 councillors were on duty 24/7 to handle problems in a timely way.

The courts comprised juries of 500 selected by lot which decided legal cases - there were no lawyers or judges to interfere or manipulate, the jury decided issues and sentences by secret ballot. With the large numbers, a jury was effectively an opinion poll of the citizens.

The only exception to open eligibility for office was the 10 generals - the people were not about to let rabbits chosen randomly by lot lead them in battle, so each tribe nominated a competent general. This spilt over to implementation of Assembly decisions which often had the rider 'the Generals to implement, even for non military actions.

Initially they were approved by the king; when aristocrats took over, they established the Council on the Aeropaus which made laws. With the coming of democracy, the assembly of the citizens made the laws by majority vote.

During the phase of radical democracy it went further than useful discussion. The Assembly of the citizens met every fortnight, and the Council put before it proposed motions and actions. This was discussed in the Assembly and voted on. The citizens ruled directly, the Council executed their decisions and conducted routine business between meetings according to the dictate of the citizens between meetings.

What "Golden Age" do you mean? There have been many.

Assuming that you are asking about the Golden Age of Greece, it applies to Athens, and lasted about 200 years, from the defeat of the Persian Empire in 546 to about 300 BCE. This was the fime frame in which the Parthenon was built, and Athens set the example for Philosophy, Theatre, Sports, Oratory, and Government.

However, during this time Athens became a tyrannical empire builder, due to the fact that the land around Athens was not good for growing grain, and Athens needed wheat.

Eventually the other Greek city states became tired of Athens, and Sparta defeated it in what has become known as the Peloponnesian Wars, which began in 441 BCE, and ended about 400 BCE. After that Sparta and Athens became allies.

The Roman Empire took over from there, and eventually conquered Greece in the battle of Corinth in 168 BCE.

The Roman Empire lasted until 410 CE, when the Visigoths from Northern Italy broke through Roman defenses and sacked the city.

After that came the Dark Ages in Europe, though the East was flowering.

From what i know you just need a warm wollen blanket and then type into google "how to tie a Chiton"

that Athens gradually took most of the power and became the head of the delian league which is why Sparta broke off

In Greece the ground was rocky and there were mountains which made it hard to travel and the Red sea During winter was frozen and during summer was dried out which made water travel harder too. But during times when It wasn't hot or cold the Greeks traveled and traded with other countries. But now I'm sure there are better ways to travel

athens was made up of four social classes. aristocrats,citizens,metics and slaves.

Since most of the buildings in ancient cities were made with a wood roof and all the furniture was wood it was very easy for an entire city to burn very fast. When ancient Rome burned it started in the crowded residential area that had apartments and shops connected to each other. Once started the fire jumped from building to building room to room. It got so hot marble melted ( you can still see some spots today in Rome that were damaged by the fire). Fire departments also did not exist until the 1800's so when a fire did start water and volunteers to fight the fire had to be found. The simple act of cooking often started fires and fireplaces often caught fire ( this was true all the way up to the 1900's). Fire was a constant danger for the people of the ancient world.

The Peloponnesian war was Between Athens and Sparta. Sparta was jealous of Athens and hated their idea of democracy. Sparta was strong on land, Athens at sea. But in the end, Sparta won and established an Oligarchy called the 30 tyrants. But 50 years later when Sparta was still weak from fighting Athens, a kingdom to the north called Macedonia, led by Alexander the Great, conquered Sparta.

performances suitable for the different seasons of theater operation

Athens. Sites such as the famous Parthenon still stand as does the world's earliest theatre.

The Pnyx was important because the Athenians went there to do voting by a secret ballot and a show of hands
