The Persian wars were the beginning of the Golden Age for Athens
Peloponnesus is the land where Sparta is located
Women had more say in Sparta then they did in Athens
- Couldn't vote or have a say in government
The Peloponnesian war was the end of the Golden Age
- The war between Sparta and Athens
Athens won because they were fighting for their life-styles even when they were out-numbered and shouldn't have won.
Athens army wasn't paid like the Persian army
Voting was done by show of hands and sometimes by stones
Meetings were done once a week
Officials were chosen by lot
Ten generals were voted on every year
Greek words:
polis- greek city-states
polites- citezen
demos- common people
ephors- overseers
Andrew taught in class again today.
