Why is it important today?!?!? At its height, Greece set lasting standards in art, politics, literature, and philosophy that are still influential today.
Setting the Stage……. • For 50 years (477-431 BC) Athens grew intellectually and artistically = Golden Age of Athens • Achievements in: • Drama • Sculpture • Poetry • Philosophy • Architecture • Science
Definition • Democracy derives from the ancient Greek, “demokratia”: • demos = the people • kratien = to rule
Definition • Meant to distinguish the idea that it is the people collectively, not any class, family, or group that rules
Definition Other types of government derived from Greek base: Aristocracy: Rule by the best Monarchy: Rule by one person Oligarchy: Rule by the wealthy Timocracy: Rule by the honorable Tyranny: Rule by the rulers, for the rulers
Democratic Rule • For “The People” to rule we need: • Equality • how dow we define that? • Freedom • how dow we define that? • Engagement • what type? and how?
Athenian Democracy US Democracy Citizens: Born in US or completed citizenship process Representatives elected to propose and vote on laws Elected President Executive branch made up of elected and appointed officials Juries composed of 12 jurors Defendants and plaintiffs have attorneys; on appeals process Citizens: male, 18 years old, born of citizen parents Laws voted on and proposed directly by assembly of all citizens Leader chosen by lot Executive branch composed of a council of 500 men Juries varied in size No attorneys; no appeals, one-day trials Both Political power exercised by citizens Three branches of government Legislative branch passes laws Executive branch carries out laws Judicial branch conducts trial with paid jurors
GOAL 1: Strengthen Democracy • Increased # of paid public officials • Having paid officials meant even poor could serve if elected or chosen by lot • Direct Democracy: form of government in which citizens rule directly and not through representatives
Pericles • Pericles (c. 485-429 BCE) • Legendary Athenian leader • Champion of the arts and sciences, and renowned military/political leader • Led Athens into the Peloponnesian War
Pericles’ Plan for Athens • leader of Athens through Golden Age • 461-429 BC, aka Age of Pericles • 3 GOALS • (1) strengthen democracy • (2) hold and strengthen empire • (3) glorify Athens
Pericles • Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) pits Sparta and its allies against Athens
Goal 2: Hold and Strengthen Empire • Delian League formed after Persian War. Athens took over leadership = dominated all city-states in it • Used $$$ from League to build up Athenian Navy • Athens needed trade (waterways) to obtain grain and raw materials to support the city-state • Athens military strength=Pericles treated members of league as part of an empire • Peloponnesus city-states resisted (Ex. Sparta)
Goal 3: Glorify Athens • Used $$$ from League to make Athens beautiful • Convinced Assembly to buy gold, ivory, and marble with funds • More $$$ was also needed to contract artist, architects, and workers
Glorious Art and Architecture • Goal: Greatest Greek artists/architects to glorify Athens • PARTHENON = center of his plans
Architecture and Sculpture: Parthenon • Parthenon (temple) • 23,000 sq foot building in tradition Greek design • Built to honor Athena (Goddess of wisdom and protector of Athens) • Statue of Athena inside 30 ft tall
Architecture and Sculpture: Sculptors • Graceful, strong, and perfect (ideal beauty) • Faces only show serenity (no other emotion)
Architecture and Sculptures:Classical Art • Classical Art: ancient Greece ideal, in which harmony, order, and proportion were emphasized
Drama and History • Greeks invented drama as an art form and built the 1st theaters • Civic Pride and Honor to Gods • Wealthy put on productions • Plays showed leadership, justice, and duties owed to Gods
Tragedy • Serious drama about love, hate, war, and/or betrayal • Tragic hero: important figure and gifted with extraordinary ability • Tragic flaw: hero’s downfall • Sophocles: wrote 100 plays, Oedipus the King • Euripides: Medea
Comedy • Scenes with slapstick comedy and crude humor • Made fun of politics and respected people • Satire: • Aristophanes: Lysistrata in which women of Athens try to force their husbands to end the Peloponnesian War
History • Recap: Dorian Age, no written records…had works of Homer, but not considered accurate • Herodotus: a Greek, living in Athens, pioneered accurate reporting • Book on Persian War = 1st history book • Thucydides: believed certain events and political situations recur over time = important to write events down
Important Question????? • Do you think that Thucydides was right in his assertion that history sometimes repeats itself??? YES OR NO…..
Athenians and Spartans Go to WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • Athens = power, prestige, and power = other city-states hostility • SPARTA!!! • Sparta declared war in 431 BC
Important Question????? • What might have been Pericles’ goals in the Peloponnesian War?
Peloponnesian War • Athens = Navy • Sparta = Army • Pericles’ Strategy: avoid land battles and wait for a sea opportunity • Sparta marched into Athens territory • Pericles had no other choice but to bring people into city walls • City safe from hunger as long as ships could come into ports • 2nd year of war PLAGUE outbreak in Athens, killing 1/3rd of population and PERICLES!!! • Athens still continued to fight for several years • 421 BC signed a truce (worn out by war)
Peloponnesian War • Spring 404, Athens surrenders • Sparta forces it to tear down walls • Remove fortress around Pireaus (its main port) • Navy reduced to 12 ships
