Unit V: Ancient Greece
PPT about patriotism in Ancient Greece (in week 8 of assignments). How did Ancient Greece adopt Democracy?
Democracy
First, there were kings. The kings were taken over by people with lots of money (landowners, aristocrats). These aristocrats fought each other for more land. The people were taken advantage of by aristocrats. People supported tyrants because tyrants gave people rights. "If you follow me and help me gain power, I will give you...rights." Remember the small slice of cake and that you want more after you eat that small slice. When the Ancient Greeks were given some rights, they wanted more. This led to democracy.
Democracy is a form of government in which people make the decisions in law and governments. Ancient Greece set up an assembly to create these laws. Only citizens could vote.
1. Assembly: body of government in Athens that passed laws, levied taxes,
and voted on issues of war and peace.
2. Boule: Council that assisted assembly to decide on important matters.
3. Metic: Non-citizens of Athens from foreign places.
4. Rhetoric: The art of using persuasive language.
5. Ostracize: Banishment of people who cause harm to citizens.
6. Spartan: A term for someone who lives a simple life. Few possessions.
7. Symposium: “Drinking party” for men to discuss politics.
8. Helot: A slave of Sparta.

Week 10
Persian War PPT. Students did not need to copy down each slide, but they do have to write down five things they learned from the PPT and textbook pages read in class.
Persian War
October 29, 2012:
In the beginning: Greek city-states started settling in Asia Minor (off the Eastern coast of the Mediterranean). The Persians took control of these city-states and appointed harsh tyrants over them. The city-states begged Greece to come to their rescue. Only Athens would help. Athens sent their navy and were easily defeated by the Persians.
This attack make the Persian King Xerxes very angry. He sent 100,000 troops to wipe out Athens. Athens asked Sparta to help, but they were in the middle of a religious festival. So, Athens met with Persia at Marathon. 100,000 Persians versus 20,000 Athenians.
Athens won the battle and scared off Persia. Athens was more organized, in their own land, and King Xerxes did not prepare himself for battle. He assumed the number of his troops would wipe out the Athenians.
The Athenians won because:
1. They were on their own territory, defending their culture, land, family.
2. They were more organized. They had a strategy of battle. The Persians just assumed they would win because of their numbers.
Today, the marathon is a 26 mile run. A man ran from Marathon to Athens (26 miles) to tell the Greeks of victory. He also warned that the Persians might attack.
The Persians did not attack. King Darius went back to Persia and never returned (but his son, Xerxes, did).
Thermopylae:
Salamis:
The Peloponnesian War
1. Athens becomes too
powerful
Sparta forms the Peloponnesian League with surrounding allies.
2. Diplomatic relations between Athens and Sparta decline
Both city-states go to war with each other.
3. Athenians retreated to hide behind walls
Sparta burns all the surrounding fields.
4. Spartan army left areas unprotected
Athenian navy attacked Spartan ally coastal areas.
5. Alcibiades proposes Athens conquer Sicily
Athens goes to war to conquer Sicily and they are defeated, divided, killed or sold into slavery.
6. Spartans build a navy; Persians help
The Spartans defeat the Athenian navy, bringing an end to the war.
7. Athenians rebel against corrupt Spartan nobles.
Spartans allow Athens to have democracy as long as they are peaceful.
Philosophy
Write down as many facts as you can about Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. Make three columns and write the facts in the following columns.
Socrates Aristotle Plato
