Key Terms Polis: the Greek word for a city-state (page 115) Acropolis: a fortified area at the top of a hill in a Greek city-state (page 115) Agora: an open area below the acropolis where people would assemble and where the market was located (page 115) Hoplites: heavily armed infantry soldiers (page 116) Phalanx: a rectangular formation used by hoplites to create a wall of shields (page 116) Democracy: rule of the many (page 118) Oligarchy: rule by the few (page 118) Helots: people captured by the Spartans (page 118) Ephors: a group of five men who were elected each year by the Spartans and who were responsible for the education of the youth and the conduct of all citizens (page 119)

Three types of government used in the Greek city-states. Advantage Disadvantage Tyranny Ended rule of aristocrats Went against the rule of law Democracy Places power in the hands of the people Difficult to reach a consensus Oligarchy Relatively efficient Power in the hands of a few people (pg 118) Sparta & Athens (pg 120) Sparta: oligarchy (with two kings) Athens: king → oligarchy of aristocrats → tyranny → democracy

Political Reform Reform-minded aristocrats made major changes in the society and politics of early Athens. Leader Reforms Salon cancelled all land debts and freed people who were slaves because of their debts. Pisistratus gave aristocrats’ land to the peasants Cleisthenes laid the foundations for Athenian democracy by creating a new council of five hundred and by giving the assembly, which was made up of all male citizens, the final authority to pass laws.
