Document Summary

Athenian democracy male greek adults dominant over others. Demos (adult greek males) have power over the polis (all people in city state, including the demos) It is important to note that greeks did not respect women the way we imagine. You would not walk around athens and see women. Attended to by citizens in the city of athens & allies. Formulated structures, terms, & protocols of the century: democracy, demos: politically active citizens - demo cracy - adult athenian(3 generations) Males - *inappropriate for anyone else to participate: polis: everyone else - slaves, women, children. These plays show why democracy is right & logically, natural, etc: is order - access circumscribed: only demos is in accordance w/ nature, salamis, the play is written assuming what is happening in persia. It is performed by vets: greekness - transcends polis. Failure to understand the nature of limit: the persians are rich!
