Movie on Greece again

508 BC 5 centuries before the birth of Christ. Pandolonium went through the streets of Athens as they turned on their leader. Cleisthenes  was an aristocrat. He saw the ordinary people should have their own destiny. He led the people on the path to empire. he was born 570 BC. Athens was just a little place.

Acropolis-rocks

reading and writing was a rare skill their was no medicine.

Their are so many mountains they don't have a lot of natural things you need
Sparta- was born to be soldiers, raised on field, separated from family started at 7 years old

Stories influencecd and shaped Homer. the two most famous tales are the Illid and the Odyssey. Illid is about the trojan war.

Tyrant- a ruler
Pisistratus- a sceemer, was extremely intelligent. Wants to get support of regular people so he cuts taxes and creates loans.
Syrup is a major product so was olive oil
the vase was Athens first big thing. what was inside the pot was worth  more then the pot itself. Potters worked in the red light district that is were people get hookers. Designs were based on Egyptian and Persterian art. they made it for pride not for money.

Hippis in 514BC brother was murdered. he became suspicious of everyone when his brother was murdered he became a Tyrant of this day.

Clisonisi esmebled a consperisy to over through Hippis. He was now one of the most powerful people in Athens. Greek was changing.
