- (p.85) Briefly explain the cycle of change in the government of the Greek city-states.
- Most city-states followed a cycle of monarchy-aristocracy-oligarchy-tyranny-democracy. For example, a city usually began as a monarchy ruled by one called a king. Gradually, the government fell into the hands of the strongest families, becomming an aristocracy. Next, the few rich rose to power and established an oligarchy. This led to a tyranny, the oppressive rule of one man. Eventually, the people overthrew the tyrant and established a democracy ruled by the masses. However, democracy often gave way to oligarchy and tyranny. Thus, the form of government in most Greek cities was constantly changing.
- (p.85) Briefly compare and contrast Athens and Sparta.
- Athens developed a very democratic society. Athenian society encouraged the development of the mind as well as the body. Thus, art and athletics flourished in Athens. In Sparta, however, a strong oligarchy dominated society. Spartan society encouraged the exclusion of all else. As a result, Sparta was more like an armed military camp. Both Athens and Sparta depended heavily on slave labor.
- (p.85) Give some examples of humanism in Greek society.
- Humanism can be seen in nearly every facet of Greek society. The arts emphasized and exaggerated humman beauty; athletics promoted the development of physical beauty and ability of man. Also, the Greek gods were merely glorified men themselves, and Greek heroes were "supermen" much like the gods.
