  12. Tyrants? • Different meaning • Eventually takes on meaning we know today • Tyrants=King • Not Negative! • Motivated by desire to keep power • Promoted prosperity, protect farmers, encourage trade, public works

  13. Gender • Rights were not given to women • Roles were to raise children, isolated from their husbands • Good mothers, not intimate friends

  15. God and Beliefs • Polytheistic • Oracles • The ideas reflected the ideas and values of Greek mortals

  16. Group Pause #1 • Make sure that each person has sufficient notes. What are the major reasons for the change in Greek Society? Write those reasons here as a group, and describe a little about Greek life.

  17. Three main City-States • Sparta • Athens • Corinth • These three are pretty representative of the Helenistic World

  18. Corinth • Typically do not hear about Greece outside of Athens and Sparta…There were many different city states • Why do you think this is the case?

  19. Corinth • Where is it? What do you Notice about the Location?

  20. Wealth • Corinth, due to geographic location was very wealthy • Isthmus provided for thriving trade • Merchants • Textiles • Established colonies

  21. Society • Ruling clan --> Tyranny --> Oligarchy • As in other cities, tensions caused change and a new order • Social center • Prostitution • “not every man has the luck to sail to Corinth”

  22. Oligarchy • After the tyrants, Corinth set up an Oligarchy • Council of 80 (from each tribe) • Main power - 8 deliberators • Probouloi • Elected for long times (possibly life) • Effective and reliable as gov’t

  23. Group Pause #2 • How does Corinth fit into Greek life? Does it fit with your pre-determined ideas of Ancient Greece? Do you think other city-states will be similar, different? Why? Discuss this as a group and be sure and write your ideas below.

  24. Sparta

  25. Sparta • Now the good stuff right….THIS IS SPARTA • Short Clip • We all know the movie 300, but what can we learn from it? • Journal Entry #2

  26. Beginnings • Population Growth • Rich and poor  increased disparity • Expanding economy • Tensions

  27. Society • Ruling clan --> Oligarchy • Not same solution as Corinth, but similar conditions forced a change

  28. Two-tiered Social Structure • Homoioi • Homogeneous warrior class • Helots • State serfs • Mutual Mistrust • Outnumbered the citizens • Controlled through ritual murder

  29. Why is this important • Having a serf class with large numbers allowed Spartans to commit to military life!

  30. Gov’t • 2 hereditary Kings • Gerousia- Council of Elders • 30 men, 60 yrs. • Elected for life • Krypteia • Used for terrorism and holding power

  31. Military • Birth to 7 home with mommy • 7 yrs. Old  shipped to Aroge • State education system • 13 years of military training

  32. Training • Age 12  swords and spears • Given meager food • Steal to eat • 20 yrs.  Krypteia • Sent to countryside w/ knife and cloak • Could not return till killed a helot • Age 30  finished now an Equal

  34. Group Pause #3 • Why the differences between Women and Men in Sparta? What type of relationships do you think people had with their husbands and wives?

  35. Economics • Banned coinage • Did not participate in growing network in Greek world • Military might, economic wimp

  36. Peloponnesian League • Non-aggression pacts with neighbors

  37. Wow Had enough? • There’s still more….

  38. Athens • With Ancient Greece comes Athens

  39. Athens • Largest area of any polis • Did not have pressure of increased pop. And economic prosperity like other city-states • Why? • Abundance of arable land and its commercial prosperity • Did not last forever!

  40. Athens

  41. Tensions rise • Growing gap b/t upper and middle classes • Aristocratic farmers owned most of land, poor farmers forced into debt • Children sold as slaves to pay debt

  42. Society • Ruling clan --> Tyranny --> Democracy • Again different solution, but similar conditions caused a change!

  43. Reforms • Debt bondage eliminated • Society broken into 4 classes • Based on birth • 400 member council • Worked for a while, then became tyranny

  44. Tyrants • Peisistratus • His Son Hippias • They ruled as absolute tyrants • Oppressed opponents gained help of Sparta and overthrew Hippias • Sparta and Athens reputation for opponent of Tyranny

  45. Athenian Democracy • Cleisthenes • Reforms set up basis for Athenian Democracy • Local tribes elected members of the council, military commanders, jurors, and magistrates • Not Democracy yet, but getting closer

  46. This brings us to the End • Finally • From here we are at the point of Hellenistic Greece • Or what you and I may think of as “Classical” Ancient Greece
