Government
& Political organization s
Athenian Government
Usually classified as a "direct democracy"
(because everyone, not just politicians attended the Assembly), Athens claims to be the "birthplace of democracy".
Elected officials including 10 generals
(strategos), magistrates (archons), and others. Council of 500 was charged with administering decisions made by the
Assembly.
The Assembly open to all citizens (all citizens were eligible to attend such meetings and speak up). They passed laws and made policy decisions. The
Assembly met on the Hill of the Pnyx at the foot of the Acropolis.
During time of Pericles citizens were paid for jury service so not only the wealthy could participate.
Women did not participate in the political life of Athens.
Spartan Government:Usually classified as an "oligarchy" (rule by a few), but it had elements of monarchy (rule by kings), democracy (through the election of council/senators), and aristocracy
(rule by the upper class or land owning class).
Two kings who were generals in command of the armies and with some religious duties.
Five overseers (ephors) elected annually ran the daytoday operations of Sparta. They could veto rulings made by the council or assembly. Council or Senate(apella) of 28 councilmen (men over 60 and elected for life by the citizens) and the 2 kings. They acted as judges and proposed laws to the citizens' assembly. The Assembly of all Spartan males aged 30 or over could support or
veto the council's recommendations by shouting out their votes.
Women did not participate in the political life of Sparta.
Social
Structure
Social Structure of Athens:Freemen were all male citizens: divided into numerous classes: at the top were aristocrats who had large estates and made up the cavalry or captained triremes; middle ranks were small farmers; lowest class was the thetes
(urban craftsmen and trireme rowers).
Metics those who came from outside the city; they were not allowed to own land, but could run industries and businesses. Slaves were lowest class, but less harshly treated than in most other Greek cities. Slaves had no rights, and an owner could kill a slave. Slaves varied in status: some were given important roles in Athens, like policemen.
Women were rarely seen outside the home and had no rights in the Athenian democracy. Social Structure of Sparta:
Three classes:Spartiates (military professionals who lived mostly in barracks and whose land was farmed by serfs; they served in the army and could vote).
Perioeci or "neighbors/outsiders" who were freemen; they included artisans, craftsmen, merchants; they could not vote or serve in the army; foreigners could be in this class. Helots (serfs descended from those peoples who had resisted subjugation by Sparta and who were constantly rebelling. They were treated like slaves and gave
1/2 of their produce to the Spartiate citizens who owned the land.
Women had few rights,
Amidst an interlude in the fierce struggle for power between the two dominant Greek poleis, Athens and Sparta, the Peloponnesian war, there was unrest. Despite the Peace of Nicias, belligerence between the two states did not cease, but rather took on a new face. While careful to remain within the parameters set several years before in the peace treaty, Athens moved cautiously, but aggressively in establishing alliances, albeit coerced, and strengthening its empire. It was at this juncture that it…
I. “There is as much history in the bars of Athens, Ohio as there is in any dorm, classroom or student center. For every memory made over coffee in the old or new Front Room, hundreds more were made on bar stools and in booths at various local watering holes. For every lesson taught in a classroom, many more were taught on the sidewalks of Court Street just after last call-- sometimes by the professors themselves! And for every connection that began on the brick streets...well, it's safe to say that…

and Hermia. In the beginning of the play, Lysander is madly in love with Hermia. The play represents this as the purest form of love because there is nothing forcing them to love each other, they just do. This relationship is not able to exist in Athens because law and reason outweigh emotions. Hermia’s father, Egeus, decides for Hermia to marry Demetrius and goes to the court to ask Theseus, the duke, to force Hermia to abide by his authority. Lysander says to Hermia that if she loves him, then…

The Thirty Tyrants, a group of aristocratic Spartans, took control of Athens. In 399 BC, Socrates, the philosopher, was tried and executed for his…
works much as Cupid's arrows are reputed to do: by impairing vision. The juice charms Titania's sight, so she is unable to see her lover for what he really is. Love's arbitrary, irrational nature is the subject of one of Theseus' speeches. In Act V, he famously creates a connection between the imaginations of lovers, lunatics, and poets: All three see beyond the limitation of "cool reason," and all are beset by fantasies. While the lunatic's imagination makes heaven into a hell, the lover shapes…
