What I've learnt about ancient greece!
Athens was one the largest city in Greece and it was wealthy and powerful. It had fertile valleys which farmers grew there crops in and all around the city there was icy topped mountains.
The city got rich and powerful through its recources such as silver,lead and marble people came from all over the world to buy these valuebels. Lots of people live near the sea because they live of fishing or they work in the navy.
Only men were allowed in the council because they had citezan rights but women were not allowed because they didnt have citezan rights. Lots of people went to see court lots more than we have today,more than 100 members would go to see the penalty. Members would put disks in two jugs one for guilty and one for no guilty and wich ever one had more than 50% of disks the court would chooose. Goverment would choose the penalty all wich include a death sentance afer!!! The goverment used democracy to choose hoe the city was run,demokratia means democracy in ancient Greek.
Some slaves were very skilled and they could work there way out of been slaves . They were skilled usualy at these things nursing,pottery painting and gladiators and eventualy they could buy themselves free!
There is a temple in Greece called the parthenon it was built by a famous general called Perikles
who built it because of the citys fame and fortune. Once the Athenians even built a whole temple out of marble WOW!
The first ever Olympic games was in Athens it was in 776BC the Athenians thought of all the competitans in the Olympics,thats gotta be alot of thinking!
Well any way thats all I can think of right now If I think of any thing else I'll tell you in a comment well BYE!
