Document Summary
Late (cid:886)(cid:889)0"s- (cid:886)(cid:888)0"s: from alliance to athenian domination (cid:886)(cid:887)0"s: league turns to empire. Spartans are introverts- attend their own affairs and keep watch on helots. And realized they had to take the initiative with the fight between sparta. Democratic participation allowed them to have a fleet, which allowed them to have higher numbers in battle. 454: transfer of league treasury to athens- phoros. Empire benefitted athenian masses, and so democracy fuelled imperialism. Confiscated land from those who didn"t pay dues became theirs. Many foreigners came to athens to work- lots of job opportunities in their expanding empire. Athenian wealthy aren"t showing off their privilege, the wealth of the democratic. Ex) new monumental buildings (temple of athena, parthenon, theatre of. Dionysus, golden/ ivory statue of athena) on the acropolis. In archaic period- statues of specific people, monumental stones (laws and decrees of athenian people) state is now being showed around.
