Greece and Rome: Ancient Civilizations

EQ: How did Greek Civilization influence/Impact the modern world today? (Legacy)

Classical Civilizations: Greece and Rome

Geography of Greece (1750 B.C. – 133 B.C.)

■ Greece is a peninsula about the size of

Louisiana in the Mediterranean Sea.

○ Peninsula - a piece of land almost

surrounded by water or projecting

out into a body of water.

■ Many mountains, many small islands

(difficult to unify)

■ Because of this, Greece developed as a

collection of city-states (“polis”)

City-States (“polis”)

● The two most famous Greek city-states were:

Athens

Sparta

Athens and Sparta

Common Features of Athens and Sparta

● Common language

● Shared heroes

● Olympic games

● Same gods and religious beliefs

Athens

● Created the first Democracy (type of government where people vote); this was known as direct democracy and was a form of limited democracy

● The U.S. has a representative democracy, where we vote for people to make decisions for us

● Athens valued education, literature, art, mathematics, architecture, science, and philosophy

● Traded extensively with other city-states

● Extensive education for boys, but not for women

Direct Democracy

● “Direct participation was the key to Athenian democracy. In the Assembly, every male citizen was not only entitled to attend as often as he pleased but also had the right to debate, offer amendments, and vote on proposals. Every man had a say in whether to declare war or stay in peace. Basically any thing that required a government decision, all male citizens were allowed to participate in.”

Remember! If you think the U.S. is so much better…

● Some southern states did not let African Americans vote until the 1960s (Voting Rights Act 1965)

● Women could not vote in the U.S. until 1920 (19th Amendment)

● Eighteen year olds could not vote until the late 1970s

Greek Philosophers

Socrates

● Socratic Method

● Learning by asking questions

● Government put him to death

Plato

● Believed government should control people’s lives

● 3 classes: workers, philosophers, and soldiers

Aristotle

● Believed in one strong and good ruler

● People learned through reason

Sparta

● Monarchy with two kings

● Warrior society

● From an early age, boys trained for a lifetime in the military

● Trade and travel were not allowed

● Women were inferior to men, but were allowed to own property (why do you think this was?)

Alexander the Great (Or Not So Great?)

● Son of Phillip of Macedonia who conquered Greece

● Built an extensive empire that included Egypt, Persia, and part of India
