Thursday - 2nd response assignment due, not tuesday. Look at athens and its rise and fall within context of certain ideas: Synoecism = amalgamation (process of uniting), in the particular region, village, cities or province of. In province of attica, the biggest city is athens so people called in attica called themselves. Oligarchy (only a few or the elite own/control the city; elitism) (usually have a noble history) set up colonies because of problem with class distinctions (have and have-not"s) Means kingship descendents of kings, gods, etc not found in greece (got rid of long ago) Solon (594bc) becomes ruler of athens by election his first priority is to negate the rising social problems of athens and he looks at other cities and doesn"t want that to happen to athens. Elites in athens are kind of oligarchic but recognize the need to bring someone in, so they elect solon.
