Today in Western Civ,
Devin taught the class again. He went over
all the notes that we took on LO3. This
part of the chapter mainly focuses on the difference between the Athenians and
the Spartans. Athens had a very strong
Navy and Spartans had a strong army. The
Athenians used triremes which were huge sips that were used to ram into things
and destruct them. The Athens had a free
way of living because they lived in a democracy. They still had a really good Navy but weren't like Sparta that trained their sons to go into the army at age 7. The Spartans lived in an oligarchy government
which meant a certain group of people ruled and made decisions. Even the Spartan women were trained and
worked out to be strong enough to have a child.
The men that voted in Greece were landowners, women were not allowed to
vote.
