Political and Social ChangeSlide7

The Aegean Area

Ancient Greece included the Balkan Peninsula & small rocky islands in the Aegean SeaSlide8

The Aegean Area

3/4 of Greek mainland = mountains

Protected Greeks from foreign invaders/attackers

Kept Greeks isolated from other communities

Prevented Greeks from uniting under one government

Between the mountain ranges = fertile plains good for farmingSlide9

The Aegean Area

Mild climate

So people spent much of their time outdoors

Meetings held in public squares

Teachers met students in public gardens

Actors performed in open theatersSlide10

What’s Going on Today

Today we will begin looking at the political climate and power structure in Greece

We will do so by defining some essential terms

This will be done in a way we haven’t really done so farSlide11

What’s Going on Today

I will provide you with a definition for each of the words

It will be your job to:

Create a definition of your own based on the definition and information provided Slide12

City-State

Definition: A state, usually with a city as it’s power center, that has political and economic control over the surrounding area

Now use this to create a definition of your ownSlide13

Polis

Definition: The early Greek city-state, consisting of a city or town, and it’s surrounding countryside

Now use this to create a definition of your

ownSlide14

The polis of AthensSlide15

Acropolis

Definition: A fortified gathering place in Greek city-states at the top of a hill, often the site of temples or public buildings

Now use this to create a definition of your ownSlide16

The Acropolis of AthensSlide17

Agora

Definition: An open area in Greek city-states, below the acropolis, which served as a public meeting place and market

Now use this to create a definition of your

ownSlide18

The Agora of ancient AthensSlide19

The Aegean Area

Despite lack of government -- Greeks spoke same language & practiced same religion (polytheistic)

Greeks turned to the seas to earn a living --> no place in Greece is more than 50 miles from a coastSlide20

The Polis

Each polis developed independently, but shared certain features with other city-statesSlide21

The Typical Polis

Polis included: a city and the surrounding villages, fields, and orchards

At the center of the city = an Acropolis = fortified hill

On top of Acropolis = temple of the local god or goddess

Foot of Acropolis = the agora = public squareSlide22

The Typical Polis

Public square was political center

of the polis

Citizens

gathered there to

choose officials, pass laws, etc.

Artisans & merchants did business thereSlide23

The Typical Polis

Citizens

= those who took part in government

Could

vote and hold public office

Could

speak for themselves in court

Could

own property

In return:

expected to serve in government and protect the polisSlide24

The Typical Polis

Mos

t Greeks

were

NOT

citizens

Slaves, foreign-born, and women couldn’t be citizensSlide25

Greek Colonies & Trade

Increase in population after the “dark ages” -->

farmers couldn’t grow enough grain to feed everyone

Each

polis

sent

out groups of

people to set up colonies

Colonists sent grain back

to the “parent city”Slide26

Greek Colonies & Trade

Farmers on

mainland produced wine, olive oil, and other cash crops

for export

Greek trade expanded throughout the Mediterranean regionSlide27

Greek Colonies & Trade

600s BCE Greeks replaced barter system with money system

Began producing textiles (cloth) and potterySlide28

Political and Social Change

Greek communities

first ruled by kings

-- kings soon lost power

Each polis was

then ruled by landholding

aristocrats

= noblesSlide29

Political and Social Change

Disputes between aristocrats and commoners

(especially farmers)

often arose

Farmers often had to borrow money from the aristocrats until harvest

W

hen they couldn’t pay back the money, the aristocrats took the land, made farmers become sharecroppers/day laborers, or sold farmers into slaverySlide30

Political and Social Change

Farmers began to protest

Farmers were very powerful in Greek armies because they were the foot soldiers

Greek armies relied on the

phalanx

= rows of foot soldiers close together with shields to form a wallSlide31
Slide32

Political and Social Change

Middle-class

artisans & merchants

wanted a voice in government &

joined the farmers in protest

As a result of the unrest:

tyrannies arose

Tyrant

= one man seized power and ruled the polis

Most were fair; a few were cruel

and unjust

Tyrannies ruled until 500 BCESlide33

Political and Social Change

500 BCE - 336 BCE city-states were oligarchies or democracies

Oligarchy

= a few wealthy people hold power

Democracy

= government by the people

2 most famous Greek city-states:

Athens = democracy

Sparta = oligarchySlide34

With the Rest of the Period

We will spend the rest beginning to examine two of the most power and famous of Greek city-states

These two city-states are probably two of the most recognizable names in the Ancient WorldSlide35

AthensSlide36

SpartaSlide37

Venn Diagram

We are going to be learning about Sparta and Athens today

We will be doing so with a group work activity

We will also be using the Venn Diagrams that I will give youSlide38

Venn Diagram

Y

ou are going to be assigned either Athens or Sparta and become experts on that city-state

You will be using your expertise to help teach fellow students about the city-state you have been assigned Slide39

Venn Diagram

Some important things you should be looking for in your readings:

The economy of your city state

The accomplishments of your city-state

The type of government your city-state had

Your city states idea of citizenship

The art, culture, family structure, and daily life of your city-state Slide40

Venn Diagram

When

you have gathered

information about your city state

we will

work together to complete your Venn diagram

Take this time to break into your groups and I will come by and tell you if your groups will be responsible for Sparta or responsible for AthensSlide41

What To Do

I have created a

V

enn diagram for you guys to fill out comparing these two Greek city-states

You will be able to find the information on a number of different pages
