What does the history of religions teach us? That they fanned the flames of intolerance everywhere, strewn the plains with corpses, watered the earth with blood, burned cities, devastated states; but they never made people better.
From the Dark Ages - a period of decline that began in the 11th-9th centuries. BC e. - Hellas bore the seeds of a new state system. From the first kingdoms there remained a scattering of villages that fed the nearest city - the center of public life, a market and a refuge during the war. Together they constituted a city-state (“polis”). The largest policies were Athens, Sparta, Corinth and Thebes.
Rebirth from darkness
During the Dark Ages, Greek settlements spread from the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula to the western coast of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), covering the islands of the Aegean Sea. By the beginning of the 8th century BC. e. the Greeks began to restore trade relations with other nations, exporting olive oil, wine, pottery and metal products. Thanks to the recent invention of the alphabet by the Phoenicians, writing, lost during the Dark Ages, began to be revived. However, the established peace and prosperity led to a sharp increase in the population, and it became increasingly difficult to feed it due to the limited agricultural base.
Trying to solve this problem, the Greeks sent entire parties of their citizens to develop new lands and found new colonies capable of supporting themselves. Many Greek colonies settled in southern Italy and Sicily, so this entire territory began to be called “Greater Greece”. Over two centuries, the Greeks built many cities around the Mediterranean and even on the Black Sea coast.
The process of colonization was accompanied by drastic changes in the policies. The monarchy gave way to aristocracy, that is, the rule of the most noble landowners. But with the expansion of trade and the introduction of metallic money into circulation around 600 BC. e. Following the example of the neighboring kingdom of Lydia in the south of Asia Minor, their positions noticeably weakened.
In the 6th century BC. e. Conflicts constantly arose in the policies, and tyrants often came to power. “Tyrant” is a Greek word, like “aristocracy,” but the ancient Greeks did not mean that the regime of a tyrant was cruel and anti-people, but meant that a person forcibly seized power, but could at the same time be a reformer.
Despite the reforms of the famous legislator Solon, power in Athens was seized by the tyrant Peisistratus. But after the expulsion of Pisistratus' successor Hippias from Athens in 510 BC. e. A democratic constitution was adopted. Council of the nobility in ancient Greece. This is another word of Greek origin, which means the rule of the demos, that is, the people. Greek democracy was limited because women and slaves did not have the right to vote. But due to the small size of cities, citizens could not depend on their elected representatives, since they took a direct part in determining laws and discussing particularly important decisions at public assemblies.
In the 5th century BC. e. in many cities conflicts broke out between democratic and oligarchic parties. Supporters of oligarchy believed that power in society should belong to the wealthiest citizens.
Athens and Sparta
If Athens can be called a stronghold of democracy, then Sparta was rightly considered the center of an oligarchy. Sparta was distinguished by a number of other features.
In most Greek states the percentage of slaves to free citizens was quite low, while the Spartiates lived as the "master race" surrounded by a superior number of potentially dangerous helot slaves. To maintain their dominance, the entire people of Sparta were turned into a warrior caste, who were trained from early childhood to endure pain and live in barracks conditions.
Although the Greeks were ardent patriots of their cities, they recognized that they were one people - the Hellenes. They were united by the poetry of Homer, belief in the almighty Zeus and other Olympic gods, and the cult of developing mental and physical abilities, the expression of which was the Olympic Games. In addition, the Greeks, who respected the rule of law, felt that they were different from other peoples, whom they indiscriminately dubbed “barbarians.” Both in democracy and in oligarchic policies, everyone had legal rights, and a citizen could not be deprived of his life at the whim of the emperor - unlike, for example, the Persians, whom the Greeks considered barbarians.
However, the Persian expansion, which began in the 6th century BC. e. and directed against peoples Ancient Greece and Asia Minor seemed inevitable. However, the Persians were not particularly interested in the lands of the Greeks - poor and remote on the other side of the Aegean Sea, until Athens supported the Asian Greeks who rebelled against Persian rule. The uprising was suppressed, and in 490 BC. The Persian king Darius sent troops to take revenge on Athens. However, the Athenians won a landslide victory at the Battle of Marathon, 42 km from Athens. In memory of the feat of the messenger, who ran the entire distance without stopping in order to quickly convey the joyful news, a marathon is included in the program of the Olympic Games.
Ten years later, Darius' son and successor Xerxes launched a much more massive attack. He ordered his ships to be lined up in a row, forming a bridge across the Hellespont Strait, which separated Asia Minor and Europe (the present-day Dardanelles), along which his huge army passed. In the face of a common threat, Greek cities were forced to unite. Council of the nobility in ancient Greece. Xerxes' army came from the north, and the Greeks, who gathered troops from different cities, accomplished a real feat by putting a barrier in the way of the Persians. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartans gave their lives trying to hold the narrow Thermopylae Gorge for as long as possible.
Unfortunately, the death of the Spartans was in vain, since Ancient Greece nevertheless fell under the onslaught of the enemy. The inhabitants of Athens were evacuated, and the invaders burned all the temples on the Acropolis. Although the year before the war, the Athenian leader Themistocles seriously strengthened the fleet, in terms of the number of ships it was hopelessly inferior to the superior forces of the Persians and the Phoenicians they conquered. But Themistocles managed to drive the Persian armada into the narrow Strait of Salamis, where it was deprived of the ability to maneuver. This caused panic among the Persians and allowed the Greeks to completely defeat the enemy fleet.
Decisive battle
Since Sparta effectively withdrew from the liberation struggle, Athens became the undisputed leader in Ancient Greece. In 478 BC. e. The Delian League was concluded, allowing Athens and its allies to pool their resources and continue the war. However, the union soon turned into a weapon of political radicalism. The Allies were obliged to introduce democratic forms of government in their states on the model of Athens and finance the maintenance of an ever-increasing fleet for the needs of common defense. After the end of the war with the Persians in 449 BC. e. the union was preserved, and all attempts to leave it were severely suppressed.
Classic Athens
5th century BC e. considered the great age of classicism of Greek civilization, which is primarily identified with Athens. But both before and after this period, other Greek city-states made very significant contributions to Greek culture, giving the world many masterpieces of poetry, ceramics and sculpture, as well as the first philosophers who tried to explain the universe from the standpoint of physics, rather than magic and miracles.
And yet the main achievements of human thought and art are associated with Athens. Among the temples rebuilt on the Acropolis, the most famous is the Parthenon with its perfect proportions and excellent stucco decorations. The world's first dramatic works arose from Athenian rituals in honor of the god Dionysus. Athenian philosophers, including the famous Socrates and Plato, were the first to deeply analyze issues of morality and political ideals. In addition, Athens was the birthplace of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the first true historian (that is, a scholar engaged in critical research rather than simply retelling fables and rumors).
An equally outstanding historian was Thucydides, who was not only the military leader of the Athenian army, but also the chronicler of the great Peloponnesian War of 431-404 BC. Concerned about the growing power of Athens, the Spartiates founded the Peloponnesian League, which included representatives of the large Peloponnesian Peninsula in the south of the mainland of Ancient Greece. The first clashes between the two alliances were indecisive, and it seemed that this situation would continue for a long time. However, after a plague broke out in Athens, claiming the life of the leader of the Athenians, Pericles, Sparta won this confrontation. But although the Spartans controlled the area around Athens (Attica), the city itself remained impregnable to them, since the famous Long Walls surrounding the city cut off the approaches to the port of Piraeus, from where supplies were delivered to Athens. Council of the nobility in ancient Greece. Thus, Athens' dominance at sea was maintained.
Defeated winners
After a seven-year truce, war broke out again when the Athenian army, which had besieged the powerful Greek city in Sicily of Syracuse, was itself surrounded, and the entire expeditionary force was completely destroyed. The Spartans closed Athens in a tight blockade ring. The Athenian fleet was defeated in the battle of Aegospotami. In 404 BC. e. the starving city was forced to surrender.
Sparta and Thebes
Sparta's dominance also did not last long; it was opposed by the unification of Athens, Corinth and Thebes. In 371 BC. e. The Thebans, led by Epaminondas, inflicted a crushing defeat on Sparta at the Battle of Lovktra.
The superiority of Thebes turned out to be even more fleeting, and Greece entered the second half of the 4th century more divided than ever. Compared to other states, Macedonia, located in northern Greece, remained an underdeveloped outskirts, but it was ruled by the talented king Philip II of Macedon and had a well-trained army. In 338 BC. e. In the battle of Chaeronea, the Macedonian army completely defeated the combined army of the Athenians and Thebans. In Ancient Greece, a single ruler appeared. A new era was beginning.
Even if there is no benefit for a person to lie, this does not mean that he is telling the truth: they simply lie for the sake of lying.
the council of the nobility in Athens was called? and got the best answer
Answer from Condorita[guru]
Areopagus
Areopagus - (ancient Greek Ἄρειος πάγος, literally - the hill of Ares), a government body in Ancient Athens, named after the meeting place on the Hill of Ares near the Acropolis.
It arose in the era of the tribal system as a council of elders. It consisted of life members, replenished from former archons, candidates for which were nominated and elected by the Areopagus. He had broad political, judicial, supervisory and religious powers. The Areopagus was a stronghold of the aristocracy, and later of the oligarchy. The main functions of the Areopagus were monitoring compliance with the laws and trial in cases related to murders. The trial itself was located on the hill of the same name, where, according to legend, the trial of the god Ares took place for shedding the blood of Poseidon's son. Aeschylus puts forward a version according to which the hill is named after the Amazons who set up camp on it during the siege of Athens.
The limitation of the power of the Areopagus began with the development of Athenian slave democracy. The reform of Ephialtes (462 BC) eliminated a significant share of the political power and influence of the Areopagus, retaining, however, the right to oversee the laws and the functions of the court for certain criminal and religious crimes. Until the end of ancient Athens, it remained the most authoritative governmental and judicial body of Athens. In Aeschylus' tragedy "Eumenides", the founder of the Areopagus is Athena.
