pop quiz?

So today we had a pop quiz. And I know I asked Mr. Schick to give us one and I didn't think he actually would so I didn't really look over my notes at all this week. But it turns out I got pranked. I don't think I did bad on the quiz. I got like an 80 I think or something around that, so my grade basically stayed the same. Anyways after that, we started taking notes so here are some of them:

Democracy & Greece's Golden Age:

Golden Age of Athens= 477- 431BCE (50 years)
Pericles led Athens for 32 years (461- 429)

3 goals:

1. to strengthen Athenian democracy
2. to hold and strengthen the empire 
3. to glorify Athens 

Stronger Democracy:

• Pericles increased the number of public officials who were paid salaries
• Athens had more citizens engaged in self-government than any other city-state 

direct democracy- a form of government in which citizens rule directly and not through representatives.

 Athenian Empire:

• After the defeat of the Persians, Athens helped organize the Delian Leauge 
• Athens eventually took over and all the city-states included in it
• Pericles used money earned to support the navy

Glorifying Athens:

• Pericles used some money to beautify Athens 
• bought gold, ivory, and marble
• some money went to artists, architects, and workers who used the materials 

Art and Agriculture:

• The Parthenon
• a masterpiece in architectural design 
• 23,000 square feet
• built to honor Athena 
• Mostly sculpted by Phidias 
• Many sculptors tried to capture reak emotions 
• They wanted to portray the beauty not realism
