Today in Western Civ we took even more notes on Ancient Greece for our test tomorrow. here are some of the notes we took that need to be studied:
- Cleisthenes made broke and poor people feel special by listening to them and letting them have a voice in the government.
- citizens could participate- citizens are free male adult land owners born in Athens
- direct democracy was ruled based on citizenship
- in the agora, citizens argued, made speeches, then voted with stones
Gods and Goddesses
-They had mythological Gods that would interact with people as if they were real
-Poseidon and Odysseus didn't get along because Poseidon and everyone else was jealous of the life Odysseus had
- Zeus (God of thunder) got ticked off at people easily
-Athena (daughter of Zeus) - Goddess of wisdom, skill, and peace she was birthed out of Zeus' head fully formed and armed (city of Athens named after)
Fighting Spartans
-Greeks were war like people
- Spartans were known for their infantry: soldiers who fought on land
- Spartan boys trained from when they were 7
Athens Naval Power
- great infantry
-most effective weapon- TIREME which was the fastest ship in the world at the time it took up to 170 men on 3 levels to row it
- Phalanx- a big dense group of soldiers with shields and spears moving towards the enemy
Persian Empire vs. Greece
- the Persians came after them and the Greeks beat the Persians when they shouldn't have

Along throughout the rap it continues to mention many of the same things that are mentioned in the textbook. One more example of this is when they say, “two consuls gotta be better than one.” I think that this rap can be very educational and also fun at the same time. it helps you learn without being so serious and just reading words from the textbook.
