The Golden Age of Athens

It hurt democracy by making government workers rich.

It helped democracy by enabling people who were not rich to work for the government.

It helped democracy by rewarding each of the people who came to vote in the Assembly.

It hurt democracy by encouraging the leader of Athens to surround himself with his friends.

They built a theater on its side.

They grew olives on its slopes.

They thought the gods lived there.

They watched athletes compete below it.

Acting in plays was one of the few rights women had

Greek plays grew out of songs and dances

Plays to place indoors because weather in Athens was terrible

Plays were a form of competition that could last for days

telling state secrets to enemy powers

refusing to teach the children of the rich

living on the streets with no means of support

asking questions that seemed to dishonor the gods

to allow their soldiers to rest

to pull a ship through the city

to let athletes go to the Olympics

to hold a festival for all their gods
