Isagoris- he’s the last of the dictators to run Greece. He was
cruel and ruled with an iron first. He was corrupted. Isagoris son was charged
for rape and he admitted it and his son got away with it because of his father.
For three days his people over ruled him and tried to throw him out of office
and on the third day he was thrown out.
Cleisthenes- is the first guy that actually tried to develop
a democracy. Without him to make the decision to let the everyday average male
to have a say in things. He decided to share the power. Cleisthenes is the man
to be ostracize.
Ostracize- means to cast out; to be sent out.
Xerxes- decides to come at Persia with a million men. They decided
to abandon the city of Athens. So they take the women and kids to an island and
just watch their city burn.
Darius- he sailed to the marathon and decide to invade.
Salamis- is a straight between
the islands. The Greeks take one of their soldiers to Persia and act like he is
one of them.
They decided to abandon the city of Athens. So they take the
women and kids to an island and just watch their city burn.
During the darkness the Persians send their ships and not knowing
the Greeks are ready for them.
Pericles- is the guy who was in charged for thirty years. Athens
rises from the ashes. They established trading domince of the meditarian sea. Every
is in the delan leaguer expect for Sparta. All the city states are supplying money
for army and goods. Athens is one of the coolest places to live it was like
modern day New York. He even died from the plague.
Hubris- means that you are so arrogant and think you’re the smartest
person in the room. And think that you are always right.
So Pericles being so hubris he tries to attack Sparta just because
he wants to. And everything went wrong. He tries to take over their water ways
and surround them. he thought Sparta would just give up. The biggest thing that
went wrong is that the ships that were bringing in supplies the ships brought
in people who were sick and huge amounts of people became sick. The Greeks had
a water supply and trying to go to the water supply to get water but once they
get their they die in the water supply so the water is no polluted .
The oracle of Delphi- the Greeks
had this belief that there were certain people who could see the future.
