Document Summary
What made athens different from other city states was the principle of segoria, which is the quality of public regress, to be able to express your political agency infront of other citizens in your community. This could have originated from the democratic revolution. Athens used to be ruled by tyrants and did(cid:374)"t gua(cid:396)a(cid:374)tee the peoples f(cid:396)eedo(cid:373)s a(cid:374)d (cid:396)ights. Isomonia is reserved for certain (cid:396)eligious g(cid:396)oups, a(cid:374)d i(cid:374) he(cid:396)odotous it"s the hall(cid:373)a(cid:396)k fo(cid:396) the pe(cid:396)sia(cid:374) e(cid:373)pi(cid:396)e. it (cid:272)a(cid:374) (cid:271)e used (cid:271)y diffe(cid:396)e(cid:374)t political communities to present their political identity. In histories, equality is used as a primary aspect post tyrant. In this context equality is used, but it see(cid:373)s to (cid:373)ea(cid:374) o(cid:374)ly e(cid:395)uality.

It shows us that the word has just come to mean equality, it lost the particular force of the public address. Its shows how important he word was, but how easily manipulable it is.
