Ancient Greece was not a unified country
City-States
An independent town or city that governs itself and the
land around it.
Polis
Typical Polis
Town or small city
Farmland
Population less than 20,000
Approximately 100 square miles
500 BC
Mostly in Greece along the Aegean Sea
Others scattered along the Coast of Asia Minor
Asia Minor: another name for the Anatolian Peninsula,
where much of Turkey is located
Along the coast of the Black Sea
Southern Italy
Northern Africa
The people in the city-states all spoke Greek
Some difference in dialects
Dialect is a regional variety of a language
Non-Greeks were called barbarians
When the barbarians spoke only meaningless
syllables could be heard
Religion
Greek Gods

Aphrodite Goddess of Love
Own distinctive forms of government
Very innovative when it came to government
We still use many of their terms
Zeus
Spent most of their time on Mount Olympus
Came down time to time to influence human
affairs
Marvelous stories were told about the
adventures and misadventures of the gods
Temples were built to honor the gods
In the genesis most Greek city-states were
ruled by kings.

•One
man is a dictator
•Power is gained illegally
•Popular at times
Opposition to the rich and helping
Power by the few noble and upper-class
families
Aristocracy means rule of the best
Power was sometimes shared with an assembly
made up of citizens, not always
poor
•Few
wanted to be ruled by tyrants
all of the time
Similar to aristocracy
Power by only a few people
Oligarchy means “rule of the few”
The few were not noble families
They were wealthy men
Power is shared by a large number of citizens
Citizens took part in the government
Debates
Policy
Elected officials
Greeks seemed to be the first people to
experiment with this type of government
Very popular among the Greek city-states
3
8/17/2011
The city-states loved their independence and
individuality
They thought it was better to have a local
government than to be ruled by a king that
lived far away
Many of the city-states would get into
disagreements and wars
Athens
vs. Sparta
Two of the largest and
most powerful citystates
This made it easy for foreign countries to invade
Greece
During times of crisis they might join together to
fight the foe but this was the exception
Alliances between city states were fragile and short
lived
Rivalries among them were sturdy and long-lasting
One of the largest Greek Polis’
One of the most democratic
Not always democratic
Monarch
Aristocracy
Oligargy
Democracy
Even a few tyrants
People were able to participate in the
government by 500 BC

8/17/2011
All citizens were allowed to participate in the
Assembly
Before making decisions the merits would be
debated
Decision would be made by a vote
Pass by a majority
The assembly passed laws, levied taxes and
voted on issues such as war and peace
The Boule was a smaller council that assisted
The Assembly
Made up of 500 members chosen by lots
Terms were 1 year
No-one could serve more than one term
They decided which issues need to be brought
before the Assembly
The Assembly also had the power to ostracize
citizens who might be a problem
Votes took place on an ostrakon or piece of
pottery
If enough people wrote the same name the
person had to leave the polis for 10 years
The ostracized person was allowed to keep their
property during that time
Athenian Law was divided into two sections
Public Laws
Ostracize- to banish or send away
Had to do with the city state
Fine or penalty decided by the Assembly or the
Boule
Private Laws
For people to work out their disagreements
Take your neighbor to court and have a jury decide
the case
