The Geography of Greece Affected their Government
How did the geography of Greece influence the Greek city-state? If you’re not sure, review your ISN notes.
The mountainous geography of Greece limited agriculture and political unity.
The Greeks depended on the sea to connect with others and with the wider world.
The City-State and Democracy
THE RISE OF GREEK CIVILIZATION
A REGION OF PEOPLE UNIFIED BY CULTURE BUT NOT BY POLITICS!
(CLOZE NOTES FOR STUDENTS)
A city-state is state or an area made of a city(businesses & homes) and its surrounding lands (farmland & villages) around 10,000 people might have lived in a city. Each city-state ruled itself.
HOLD UP!WHAT IS A CITY-STATE?
Ask your neighbor, if they know what a city-state is?
Do they have it right? If not, help them out!
I know about City-States but what’s a POLIS?
A city-state in Greece is called a “polis”
Each polis was an independent community that was dominated by males and bound together by race and all had independent identities
City-states remained small so that everyone would know one another, absolutely independent and self-sufficient. They each had its own government and laws.
Each polis was built around an acropolis, a hill with the temple of the local god at the top. They each took great pride and loyalty in their polis.
Each city-state had an agora (marketplace). It was the center of city life where people gathered for all kinds of public activities, like business gatherings, political discussions and festivals.
Dominate Greek City-StatesAthens vs. Sparta
Their similarities:• Covered small areas of land
•Athens (smaller than Rhode Island)•Sparta (smaller than Connecticut)•Populations (around 10,000)
•Shared a common language and religious ideas
•Regarded all non-Greeks as barbarians

SPARTA: A Military Polis
http://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/sparta/videos/spartans(About 3 mins and students will need to READ the statements made during the video. No verbal just music!)
Ruled by monarchs (two kings), who were advised by oligarchy
Only men older than 30 who were native to Sparta could be citizens
Citizens made up an assembly to approve all major decisions
EDUCATION in SPARTA
Only purpose of education was to prepare to be a soldier
Age 7: boys go off to military school
Men spent their lives living in barracks and training in the army
GROWING UP SPARTAN

SPARTAN WOMENWere taught reading and writing
Girls exercised to be physically fit for child-birth
A woman’s role was to produce healthy sonsfor the army; Sick children were left to die

Athens: The Rise of Democracy
Free and open society where the ideas of men dominated
Direct democracy: the citizens themselves made the laws, not elected representatives

All free men were considered equal under the law
Characteristics of Athenian Democracy
1. All citizens (free men) have the duty participate in government
2. Law results from human intelligence and the needs of the community, not gods
3. Common men are capable of making decisions that effect the entire community
