At what age did men enter the regular army? At age 20. Then, they lived in the barracks for 10 years They returned home at age 30 but served in the army until they were 60 years old

Sparta What were Spartan girls trained in? Why? They were trained in sports to become healthy mothers. They were freer than other Greek women because most men were in the military, therefore they needed more rights. The Spartan government was an oligarchy in which two kings headed a council of elders. What did the council do? This council presented laws to an assembly, which voted on the laws. What did the Spartan government do to maintain control of the country? It kept foreign travelers out and discouraged its own citizens from traveling.

Some wealthy girls learned reading, writing, and playing the lyre. The government of early Athens was an oligarchy. Who was the noble who reformed the Athenian government in 594 B.C.? Solon. How did he reform things? He canceled farmers’ debts and freed farmers who had become slaves. He allowed all male citizens to participate in the assembly and law courts.

Discussion Question Why did the people of Athens remain unhappy after Solon’s reforms? Solon refused to give away the wealthy nobles’ land, so the farmers remained unhappy.

Athens Who was the tyrant who seized power 30 years after Solon’s rule? Peisistratus. How did he win support with the people? He divided large estates among landless farmers. He loaned money to the poor and gave them jobs building temples and other public works. Cleisthenes took power in 508 B.C. How did he change government in Athens? He created a democracy. He gave the assembly more power. He also created a new council to help the assembly carry out its duties. Members of the council were chosen by lottery.
