Democracy in Athens Cleisthenes created a direct democracy Assembly would either accept or veto laws Only free males over 18 years old could vote (no slaves or women)

Cleisthenes

Pericles

Activity Turn to page 321 of your textbook to read about Pericles.

Pericles’ Funeral Oration In 431 B.C., Pericles gave a speech, called Pericles’ Funeral Oration, to honor those killed in a war between Athens and Sparta. The speech gives a new view of Athenians as citizens who put aside their own problems for the sake of the city-state. They obeyed laws because they wanted to, and therefore the citizens were part of the democratic system.

Pericles Background Pericles was related to Cleisthenes. As leader, Pericles oversaw a truce with Sparta in 445 B.C. This time of peace allowed him time to spend public funds on rebuilding Athens. His greatest building project was the Parthenon, which in today’s money cost about $3 billion. The money came in part from tribute paid by members of the Delian League.
