• 249, 256, 257, 262, 264, 266, 270, 272, 299,
303, 313
ATHENS
• Lost control of Attica and
only gradually reestablished itself as a
unified state in the region
– By 650 BC
• Entered a period of internal
turmoil around 630 BC
– Two attempts by
individuals to seize
control of the city
– Great deal of unrest by
lower classes and
hoplites against
domination by oligarchy
of wealthy landowning
families
– Oligarchy also divided
between conservative and
progressive factions
SOLON
• Solon given job to reform city’s
laws and restore internal peace
and order
– 594 BC
– Determined to stamp out
lawlessness at all levels of
society and convinced all
Athenians that disobedience to
the law would destroy the city
• Best way to do this was to
make the law more fair and
eliminate unjust laws
– Only way to get people to
respect the law was to
make it worthy of their
respect
REFORMS OF SOLON
• Abolished practice of enslaving a person
for unpaid debts and freed all persons
enslaved for that reason
• Abolished all feudal obligations that
commoners owed the aristocracy
• Widened political participation
– Broke monopoly aristocrats had over
Council of Athens, elected positions,
and Assembly of Athens
– Allowed all citizens regardless of
wealth to serve in Assembly
– Opened up position of archon and
seat in Council of Athens to wealthy
hoplites
– Created new 400 member body which
acted as Supreme Court
– Established right of any citizen to
bring a case to court
REFORMS BACKFIRE A LITTLE
• Solon’s reforms went long way
towards opening up Athenian
society and government to a
greater number of people
– But they did not immediately
end the turmoil that plagued the
city
• Athens did prosper
– Rapid population growth,
geographic expansion, various
public works projects
– But Solon’s reforms increased
infighting by multiplying the
number of factions struggling
for control
• Even resulted in several
dictatorships (tyrannies)
CLEISTHENES
• Two factions struggled for
control after death of the tyrant
Hippias (508 BC)
– One led by Isagoras and the
other by Cleisthenes
• Cleisthenes won
– Because he had cultivated
the support of the demos
• Majority of Athenian
population who were still
excluded from politics
because they owned little
or no property
• He had won their support
because he promised to
give them a legal political
voice
REFORMS OF CLEISTHENES
• Cleisthenes kept promise to demos
– Population of city and region
divided into ten tribes
– Each included people from all
walks of life
– Each elected representatives to
the Council, elected generals and
public officials, and jurors to
Supreme Court
• Cleisthenes permanently broke
power of old aristocracy and
established the foundation for
democracy
ARCHAIC GREECE
• At beginning of period, most of
the Aegean world was divided
into independent principalities
– Had simple social structures
with nobility on top and
everyone else below
• By 500 BC, principalities had
been transformed into citystates
– Aristocracy reduced to just
one faction of many
– Aristocratic value system
subsided in favor of a new
one based on service to the
community and the law
POETS
• Old value system of aristocracy was
based on fighting and an obsession
with honor
– But the new city-state, with its
commercial and business activities,
had little use for a bunch of jealous,
warring aristocrats with their
inflated sense of honor
• Required instead justice,
established by law according to
rational and regular procedures
• Poets at the forefront of attack on old
aristocratic value system
– Example: Archilocus
– Argued old aristocratic and heroic
values were out of touch with the
times
• Silly and counter to the need for
law and order
CHANGES IN RELIGION
• Gods reflected aristocratic values
in Homer’s poems
– Obsessed with fighting, killing,
and performing heroic feats
• During the Archaic Ages, gods
became more interested in justice
– Urged men to be content with
their lot in life
• To go against this was now
considered hubris
– Insolence against the
gods
• Religion modified during Archaic
Age to reinforce new value system
and discourage the old
SUMMARY
• Mutually-reinforcing cycle
– Growth of business and trade undermined the
aristocratic monopoly over society
• Decline of aristocracy was accompanied by a parallel
decline in their value system
– Helped by propaganda attacks by poets and a
gradual shift in religious emphasis
– Decline of aristocratic value system was paralleled by
the rise of a new value system based on law, order, and
stability
• Encouraged further business growth and prosperity
– Sped up the decline of the aristocracy
– Provided good environment for development of
literature and beginning of philosophic and
scientific speculation
PRIVATE SPHERE/PUBLIC
SPHERE
• No “diffusion of loyalty”
– No chance for citizen to develop
non-state loyalties
• Only one state religion
• No non-state cultural
associations
– All art was public and all
cultural events were state
affairs
– Nothing in the Greek polis existed to
distract the citizen from his loyalty
to the state
• Private sphere linked tightly to
the state, focusing everyone’s
absolute loyalty to that institution
POLITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
• Taken for granted that all
important questions
regarding policy-making,
legislation, and judiciary
was the concern of all
citizens
– Professionals did not
dominate government
• Power was not dissipated
among a multitude of
specialized departments
and institutions
– Rested fully in the hands
of the people
CITIZENSHIP
• All city-states restricted
who could become a
citizen
– General tendency in
Archaic Age was
towards less
restrictivness
• Citizens only made up
part of total population
– Rest were foreigners,
slaves, and freedmen
SLAVES AND FREEDMEN
• Slaves played crucial role in
economy of all city-states of ancient
Greece
– And in Sparta, they were the
economy
• Freedmen worked as craftsmen,
small farmers, small retail
merchants
– But they worked for themselves,
not for others
• To work for someone else on a
regular basis was the mark of a
slave
– Essential characteristic of a
freedman was economic
independence
• No matter how low-level or
demeaning the work they did
FREEDMEN
• Freedmen often very poor
– Did not view themselves as
oppressed working class
– Complaints directed against the
rich
• Especially wealthy creditors
• Slogans concerned lack of
political participation or the
elimination of debts
– Saw themselves as independent
businessmen
• Wanted recognition of their
status and relief from the costs
of doing business
– Never formed any kind of alliance
with slaves to overcome their
mutual exploitation
• Because they say themselves as
inherently better than slaves
GREEK FAMILY
• Archaic Greeks viewed family as
immortal
– Founded in mythical days and
would continue forever
– Male head of family therefore had to
work to ensure this immortality
• By expanding its economic base,
performing religious rituals,
worshipping ancestors, having
children
– Family without children was
not considered a family at all
• Family heads under great
pressure to keep their families
going by having children
MARRIAGE
• Marriage was a carefully
considered, regulated step
– Were prearranged
– Couple became
engaged as children
after long negotiations
between parents
– It was understood that
love would develop after
marriage
• Not before
GREEK WOMEN
• Greeks attached immense importance
to chastity of citizen women
– It was of utmost importance that
legitimacy of offspring not be
questions on the grounds of a premarital or extra-marital affair
– Took every precaution to segregate
women from men
• Even set aside a part of the house
for exclusive use of women
– Adultery considered a serious crime
that threatened foundation of the
state
• Not just a private matter
CITIZEN AND SLAVE WOMEN
• Women had no political role
– Charged with running
households and nothing else
• Slave women and freedman
women had more freedom
– Since they were not
considered important enough
to worry about
• No one cared if their
families remained intact or
not
• Could pretty well do what
they wanted in their private
lives
FINAL POINT
• Neither male nor female citizens enjoyed a high degree of
freedom (in the modern sense of the term)
– Greek ideas of freedom implied conformity to
community standards of behavior
• Community needs defined the roles of men and
women and restricted the freedom of both
• Male family heads had little choice over who and
when he should marry, whether to have children, etc.
– Law and custom demanded that he subordinate
his own needs and desires to those of his family
and the community at large
– In exchange, men and women enjoyed a strong
and stimulating community life
» A trade off between liberty and security, with
security receiving the most emphasis
SPARTA
• Sparta focused on foreign
conquest in response to
population pressure
– By 600 BC it had taken over the
nearby city of Messenia
• Doubling agricultural
acreage and establishing
firm economic base for
future military power
• War against Messenia also forced
fundamental social, political, and
economic reforms within Sparta
– First written constitution in
Greek history
• Reflected unique form of
society in which every
aspect of a citizen’s life was
governed by military
necessity
SPARTAN TRAINING I
• Every new-born infant examined by
committee
– Abandoned to die if it showed any
type of deformity
• Enrolled in special troops at age six
– Remained members until age 18
– Girls still lived at home but boys
lived away from parents
– Put through increasingly brutal
series of classes designed to
make them used to suffering and
hardship
• Also designed to break down
family relationships
• Education focused on music,
dancing, and athletics
SPARTAN TRAINING II
• Began formal military training at
age 18
– Took 2 years to complete
• Applied for admission into a
military club after successful
completion of training
– Membership was official
indication that a boy had
become a man
– Application for admission had
to be voted on by other
members of club
• Vote had to be unanimous
• Not allowed to marry or have a
family for 10 years
– Still had to have meals with
club until he was 60
• Military clubs formed basic unit of
military service
HELOTS
• Spartan men given plots of land
to support themselves after they
joined a military club
– Did not work land themselves
– Work done by helots
• Slaves owned by the
Spartan state
• Manufacturing also done by
helots
• Spartan men lived off the work of
others so that they could devote
their entire life to being a soldier
SPARTAN GOVERNMENT
• Two kings
– Led army and Sparta in general
– Hereditary
• Gerousia
– 28 man council
