Leaders and rulers in ancient Greece

Ancient Greece was made up of different states which were ruled in different ways. Some were ruled by groups of rich and powerful people. Sparta had two kings and a small group of wise old men known as elders. Athens was ruled by the people of athens, voted for by the people, which prevented anyone getting too much power.
None of the states allowed women, foreigners or slaves to take part in government. In the fourth century Alexander the Great became the ruler of all Greece.

The Greeks were often at war with each other or with outside enemies. In early times, warriors used chariots to move round the battlefield. Most battles were fought by foot soldiers with heavy armour and equipment. There were also light armed soldiers like archers, javelin throwers and slingers. Cavalry were sometimes used for sudden attacks and pursuing the defeated enemy. Some states such as Athens and Corinth had very powerful navies (a navies like a ship army).

Here is a gold ring that was probaly worn by a woman.This ring would cost around 5000£ pounds now but in ancient Greece it would only cost about 500.

Clothes in Ancient Greece!

In ancient Greece making cloth was women's work and took a very long time. Not much cloth survives but we know that it was often coloured and decorated with gems,gold and silver. Clothes were made by folding rather than cutting so that no cloth was wasted.
Clothes were shaped and fastened by sewing, pinning or wearing belts. The Greeks made very detailed jewellery without the help of a magnifying glass. Jewellery was mostly worn by women but men might wear a ring or brooch.

Here is a mint condition bronze bowl from ancient Greece as you can see it has very good metalwork the Greeks were known for this because they had very good resources.

Ancient Greec tools and technolagy!

Life in ancient Greece was based mainly on farming but crafts were just as comman such as pottery, weaving, shoe making, tanning, jewellery making, woodworking and metalworking. The Greeks showed that they had a high level of technical skill using simple tools such as the saw, drill, chisel and hammer. They made very good use of heat in metalworking and pottery.
Many people think that the Greeks never developed machinery and other technology because they relied so much on slaves to do their work.

The animals of ancient greece!

Greece is very dry and has lots of mountains. There were wild animals such as boars, foxes, hares and wolves and mountain lions. The commonest animals were goats and sheep, hens, dogs and donkeys. Horses were expensive to keep and a symbol of great wealth. Heavy farm work was done by horses usualy.
Many Greek stories involve monsters which are part animal and part human. The Greeks often used foreign animals in their art.

My ancient Greec Project!


In 510BC a new way of running the government was invented in Athens. Demokratia from which we get our word democracy means rule by the people . Any man with full citizen rights (because women couldnt vote) could go to the assembly where they could speak and vote freely. Public debates like this decided how the city was run.

Athens had law courts with trial by jury. Juries were much bigger than today. With a few hundred members or more. After listening to the evidence jurors voted by
puting metal discs into two jars one for guilty and one for not guilty. Punishments were decided by the court, and some included death.

Women did not have citizen rights. They could not take part in the assembly or vote or serve on juries.
In rich families girls were educated to run the house and to keep slaves happy.

Athens had festivals every year, festivals for athletics, drama and religious occasions. The city paid for these using the tax money but the wealthiest citizens of Athens were obliged to give extra help.
Rich citizens considered it an honour to pay the performers fees in all the drama festivals.

The ancient Greeks believed in many gods and goddesses who influenced all aspects of life. They kept the gods happy with small offerings and by sacrificing animals at great festivals. At festivals the Greeks also held athletics and theatre competitions in honour of the gods.
The Greeks also believed that the gods could answer questions and give advice.
