Today in class, we didn't work on our powerpoints because our last day in class for that was on Monday. We are almost done our powerpoint which of course is good because it is due on Friday and our presentations start that day too. I think I only have like two slides to complete before we are completely finished! I hope we get a really good grade because maybe this could bring my grade up to an A+. We continued taking notes from the Greece powerpoint because there were slides added and we needed the notes for the test. Here are some of the notes from today:
- Aristocracy is rule by aristocrats
- they had meetings and enjoyed poetry and wine
- no women (except for entertainment)
- no middle class
- sometimes some aristocrats were excluded if they fell out of favor
- Tyranny existed and some tyrants were harsh
- Hippias was one of them and he ruled from 527 to 510 BCE
- when his brother was murdered, his ruling became harsh
- he was eventually expelled from Athens
- In revenge, he worked with the Persian king Darius I, helping them invade Marathon
- tyrant: someone who rules outside the framework of the polis
