Document Summary
Archaic greece, archaic greek art, and lyric poetry. The beginning of the greek period (750-480 bc) Basileus/officials -> becomes like a prime minister/president (carries out orders/laws while other people make the decisions) he is restricted in his power. (judge- in charge of the court, warlord- in charge of the war effort, etc. ) The council (boule) of the landowning aristocracy (oligarchy) -> small group of powerful people (portrayed as the best), make council with each other, and make decisions. Man is a political animal. aristotle -> man is an animal that ought to live in a polis. (like cats are ought to live in a herd). To be an actual human being, live in a polis to give input and take part in his polis. Idiot -> someone who keeps to himself and never takes part in the polis or gets involved in general decision making.
