ATHENS

“Athens proceeded in orderly fashion from crisis to crisis.” After 750 b.c.e. Athens slowly progressed from: –Monarch to –Oligarchy to –Democracy TERMS—eupatrids = aristocrats

CLEISTHENES, 500 b.c.e. Appointed by oligarchy to restore old order; –HE HELD A GRUDGE AGAINST THE EUPATRIDS…WHAT WILL HE DO? Divided Athens into 10 districts; Each district had a 50 member law-making body: –Took people from each region & put them into these district law-making bodies Opened almost ALL offices to ALL men; Introduced ostracism…WHY? –any one who angered the DEMOS would be thrown out! HOW DID HE CONTRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE or “DEMOS” OF ATHENS? The majority of the people were the underclass. He integrated them into the political system!

THE AGE OF PERICLES b.c.e. Periclean Athens was: –Direct democracy— a large number of citizens take direct part in day-to- day affairs of govt. –Public officials were paid a fixed salary (stipend) –Jury system— male citizens over 30 yrs. Of age were chosen by lot to serve on the jury for one year. Jurors were paid a stipend. –Public Works Projects were initiated. –Public festivals were given. –Ended “oligarchy” of elder aristocrats

What had the Greek victory against the Persians(480 b.c.e.) do for Athenian democracy? Radicalized Athenian democracy! It had been men of the poorer classes who had rowed their ships to victory. Now they were in a position to insist on full citizenship.
