Greek City-States  s BC, city-states formed  Polis is the Greek word for city-state Usually developed around a fort  Absolutely independent and self-sufficient  Based on 3 ideas: Geographical territory Community Political and economic independence

Greek city-states  Greeks believed in loyalty to their polis; gave them a sense of identity  Greek city-states alike in many ways: Covered a small area of land  Athens=Rhode Island; Sparta=Connecticut Populations of fewer than 10,000  Mostly slaves or non-citizens Original fort built on an acropolis Each polis had an agora  Served as a common meeting place

Differences/Similarities  Differences:  Political independence: own government and laws  Each had their own calendars, money, and system of weights/measures  Similarities:  All spoke the same language  People who did not speak Greek considered barbaric  Same religious ideas, cultural characteristics, and social patterns

Greek Culture & Religion  Culture:  Homeric: Homer wrote epic poems the Illiad and the Odyssey Few people could write, so these poets passed history along with the spoken word  Olympics: Held every 4 years in honor of Zeus Athletic competition  Religion  Different than most religions of the time No high moral standards Not concerned with life after death (Hades)  Looked to religion for three things: Explain nature Explain emotions Bring them benefits  Mythology! Gods, goddesses, oracles

Development of Greek Government  City-states originally small kingdoms ruled by warrior chieftains  Aristocrats came to represent the “best men” in Greek city-states; wealthy landowners that backed the king  Aristocracies developed as aristocrats took power from the kings Held monopoly over military, land-owning, and economy

Greek Government cont’d  Hoplites began to gain power as they were needed to defend the city-states Heavily armed infantry that helped defend city, recognized their power, and demanded more say Poor citizens and farmers fed up with the aristocracy  Tyrants began to take over, but were short-lived They illegally took power but the people supported them At first, ended nobility power and promoted trade, but began to turn into “tyrants” as we call them today

How’d they get power?  Warrior chieftains?  Aristocrats?  Hoplites?  Tyrants?

New Government develops  Popular government began to grow (b BC) People can and should rule themselves!  Athens- Democracy!  Sparta- Authoritarian!
