Greece Videos pt1

Here are the notes I took from the video we started watching today:

508 BCE- Athenian revolution

Cleisthenes-

  • born around 570 BCE
  • born into one of the richest families in Greece
Herodotus= first greek historian 
The life expectancy of Athenians was 15 years

memorized poetry and passed it on

having a heroic lifestyle was very ideal; you should strive to be the best at what you do

Pisistratus- 
  • first tyrant
  • Cleisthenes brother-in-law
  • gained power by pretending a woman was Athena
  • turned to common Athenians for support
  • reduced taxes and freed loans
