ANCIENT GREECE

I. Geography Shapes Greek Life

LOCATION- Greece is located in Southern Europe along the Mediterranean Sea.

B. Importance of its Location Because of the seas, Sea travel, trade, and fishing were very important to the Greeks.

C. The Land Most of Greece is covered by rugged Mountains.

D. Impact of the Land The mountains divided the Greeks into separate communities. A polis or city-state is what these separate communities became known as.

II. The City-States Similarities- the Greek language, and their religious beliefs (Many Gods). They believed in the same gods, and believed that their gods had human characteristics.

B. Differences- Forms of Government in City-States Government & Way of Life Forms of Government in City-States Monarchy- Rule by a King Aristocracy- Rule by the “elite” Oligarchy- Rule by an “elite” few Democracy- Rule by the people Tyrants- Rule by a powerful individual

III. Sparta vs Athens

A. Sparta -was part Oligarchy & Monarchy -was an extremely “War-Like” Society -Spartans put Sparta before themselves -All Education was geared towards war -Boys were taken from their homes at age 7 and trained to be a soldier.

Sparta Continued: -Women COULDN’T participate in the Gov’t, but they had MORE rights than most in Ancient Greece. -Goal of Spartan Women: Have a lot of healthy children! (future soldiers or “soldier makers”)

“The Spartan Way of Life” -Tough Hard Life, Taught to do without luxury! -Spartans valued duty, strength, & discipline OVER freedom, individually, and the arts. -This resulted in one of the most power armies the world has ever seen!

B. Athens: -Government went from an aristocracy to a democracy. Thus Athens is said to be the “Cradle of Democracy”. -It was a “Direct Democracy” since the citizens made all of the decisions directly. -It was a “Limited Democracy” since not everyone in Athens was a citizen. -Women could NOT vote & had very few rights.

Athens continued: -It was a society that stressed an individual should be “Well-Rounded”! -As a result: Education, the Arts, and Military strategy were ALL important. -Philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle lived here. -The theater, great architecture, and wonderful sculptures developed here.
