Greek Government


-The ancient Greeks invented democracy.

-Power was passing down from generation to generation to generation but it changed. Now the rights depended on how much land they owned.

-Pentacosiomedimnoi - Treasurer, Archons, Financial officials, and the Boule.

Hippeis - Archons, Financial officials, and the Boule.

Zeugitai - financial officials and the Boule.

Thetes Nothing

-The city state was that the center controls all of the state. Athens was center of Attica

-The two main reason of why city-state was created: geography and the refusal of kingship.

The people who had power didn’t want a king because they want to make they make their own city.

Geography was because they were naturally enclosed: islands, mountains, valleys
