The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Terms and People polis – a city-state in ancient Greece tyrant – a ruler who gained power by force acropolis – section of a city at a higher elevation with great marble temples dedicated to deities citizen – free resident of a city-state monarchy – a government in which a hereditary ruler exercises central power aristocracy – rule by a hereditary landholding elite

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Terms and People (continued) oligarchy – a form of government in which power is in the hands of a small, wealthy elite phalanx – a massive tactical formation of heavily armed foot soldiers Sparta – a city-state built by the Dorians in which daily life was ruled by military discipline Athens – a Greek city-state that moved slowly toward democracy

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Terms and People (continued) democracy – government by the people legislature – a lawmaking body

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 How did government and culture develop as Greek city-states grew? Ancient Greeks absorbed ideas from older civilizations and developed their own unique ideas as well. They developed new ways to best govern each polis.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Ancient civilization in Greece was shaped by its unique geography. Mountains created valleys, and hundreds of rocky islands extended from the coast. Independent city-states formed in these isolated islands and valleys. Rivalries between city-states often led to war.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Population growth caused Greeks to expand overseas. The sea was a link to the outside world. Greeks became skilled sailors.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Different forms of government evolved in Greece between 750 B.C. and 500 B.C. aristocracy: rule by a hereditary landholding elite oligarchy: a government in which power is in the hands of a small, wealthy elite monarchy: a hereditary ruler exercises central power

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 The citizens, or free residents, of cities, shared responsibilities and debated ideas. Male landowners held all of the political power. Merchants and the poor supported tyrants, because they imposed reforms to help them. Greeks built cities on two levels, with an acropolis on the top of a hill and a walled main city below.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Affordable iron weapons replaced bronze, increasing the power of the middle class. Soldiers trained to fight in a phalanx, and this training created unity. As forms of government evolved, new warfare methods also emerged.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Phalanx warfare put defense of a city-state into the hands of ordinary citizens. At the same time, it led to two influential city-states developing different ways of life. Sparta stressed military virtues and strong discipline. Athens glorified the individual and extended rights to more citizens.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Boys began military training at age seven. They lived in army barracks until age 30. Everyone was required to exercise and develop strength. Trade, wealth, and art were not considered important. In Spartan warrior society:

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Pisistratus helped farmers and the poor. He gave ordinary citizens a larger role in government. Cliesthenes made the assembly a legislature. All male citizens were expected to participate. Athens moved slowly toward democracy. Solon made reforms including opening high offices to more citizens. Democracy in Athens was limited, but the people had more of a voice than in any other ancient civilization.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Women in Athens could not participate in government. They played a significant role in public religion. Women participated in sacred processions and ceremonies. Women ran the family’s estate while men were away at war. Well-to-do women managed their households, and were not seen in public. Poorer women worked outside the home.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Athenian boys learned how to read and write the Greek language, from which Roman, and eventually English, characters evolved. Wealthy boys also studied music, poetry, and public speaking.

The Rise of Greek City-States Section 2 Despite divisions among city-states, Greeks did share a common culture. They all spoke the same language. They prayed to the same gods, including Zeus. They shared a sense of superiority over foreigners.
