Each had a distinct culture.<br /><br /><strong>Athens</strong><br /><br />City state in Ancient Greece <br />Valued education and arts <br />Valued individual expression <br />Government was a democracy<br /><br /><strong>Sparta</strong><br /><br />City State in Ancient Greece<br />Valued obedience and military service<br />Valued the group<br />Government was an oligarchy<br /><br /><br />Athens and Sparta were allies in the Persian Wars fighting side by side. Legend has it that a runner named Pheilippides brought news of victory over the Persia from the battle at Marathon to Athens. He collapsed and died after running the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens. Today a race that is 26 miles is called a marathon in honor of Pheilippides's run.<br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br />*Regents Questions<br /><br />In a comparison of the ancient cities of Athens and Sparta, Sparta placed more emphasis on<br />(1) education<br />(2) military service<br />(3) family order<br />(4) human rights<br /><br />Which statement most likely represents the view of a citizen of ancient Athens visiting Sparta?<br /><br />(1) “The government and society in Sparta are so strict. The people have little voice in government.”<br />(2) “I feel as though I have never left home. Everything here is the same as it is in Athens.”<br />(3) “This society allows for more freedom of expression than I have ever experienced in Athens.”<br />(4) “I have never heard of a society like Sparta that believes in only one God.”<br /><br /><br />Which statement about Greek civilization is an<br />opinion rather than a fact?<br /><br />(1) Boys in Sparta were trained to be soldiers.<br />(2) Athens had a better culture than that of<br />Sparta.<br />(3) Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were Greek philosophers.<br />(4) Many adults in Athens did not have the right to vote.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2744372532509820756-4138631572909818050?l=mrgleason.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chad Gleasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435088681968069653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744372532509820756.post-84453647922315062562007-12-09T16:48:00.000-08:002007-12-10T18:38:09.063-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3My9-7xbqSU/R13iqHQzYsI/AAAAAAAAAA4/w6wO5gJ58iI/s1600-h/greece+mountains.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142515562658882242" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 259px" height="240" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3My9-7xbqSU/R13iqHQzYsI/AAAAAAAAAA4/w6wO5gJ58iI/s320/greece+mountains.jpg" width="320" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3My9-7xbqSU/R13ijXQzYrI/AAAAAAAAAAw/jx0xwUuiJWQ/s1600-h/Ancient+Greece+Map.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142515446694765234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3My9-7xbqSU/R13ijXQzYrI/AAAAAAAAAAw/jx0xwUuiJWQ/s320/Ancient+Greece+Map.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><br /><div>Images courtesy of Google Earth and <a href="http://www.as.ysu.edu/~saleonard/Atlantis-PlatoNote.html" target="_top">http://www.as.ysu.edu/~saleonard/Atlantis-PlatoNote.html</a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The Geography of Ancient Greece had a significant impact on its development. Greece is a mountainous country made up of over 2000 seperate islands. The geography of Ancient Greece made it impossible for one ruler to rule the entire country. As a result many independant communities called city-states developed. Each city state had it own leader and a unique culture. </div><div></div><div></div><div><br />* Regents question<br /></div><div><br />What effect did the geography of ancient Greece have on its early development?<br /></div><div><br />(1) The mountainous terrain led to the creation of independent city-states.<br />(2) A lack of natural seaports limited com- munication.<br />(3) An inland location hindered trade and colonization.<br />(4) Abundant natural resources encouraged self- sufficiency.<br /></div><div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2744372532509820756-8445364792231506256?l=mrgleason.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chad Gleasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02435088681968069653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744372532509820756.post-67876033150188183032007-12-09T16:37:00.001-08:002007-12-09T16:41:01.598-08:00Welcome students, parents, and teachers!<br /><br />This Blog will serve as model for Mr. Gleason's students' blogs.
