greece Day 3
People of Athens took destiny in their own hands they rose up in revolution. Isagoris is the leader after Hippiass hes on top of a mountain with Sparta. That was in 508 BC. It was the first time in history ordinary people seized power. So the people turned to Clisonisie. Agora is a central meeting place. Clisonese established voting with black and white pebbles.(democracy) They voted on taxes, building roads, anyone could make a difference except women and slaves. 490 BC Pheidippides ran and made the most amazing achievements. The persians attacked Athens. Hipolights had their own weapons and armer Athens just took the bows and arrows they had for hunting. it was very foggy and you couldn't see anything. You just had to hope everyone pushed through. Pheiippides ran about 200 miles in less then two days. Pheidippides ran from athens to sparta. Themistocles
