These metics often faced legal restrictions and were required to pay taxes, but they played a crucial role in Athenian trade and craftsmanship. Thus, while both city-states had forms of foreign labor, their roles and status differed markedly.

Was the government or civilization of greek divided by class?

Yes, ancient Greek society was divided by class, with clear distinctions between different social groups. Citizens, who were typically free-born males, held political power and rights, while women, slaves, and foreigners were often excluded from political participation. Within the citizen class, there were further divisions based on wealth and status, such as the aristocrats or the wealthy landowners, which influenced their political influence and social standing. This class structure varied between city-states, with Athens and Sparta having particularly distinct systems.
