Notes

Socrates was apparently an ugly man and he had gross stinky feet. In 508 B.C. there was chaos in Athens and they were demanding freedom. Cleisthenes was brought up to be a ruler. He was one of the very few rich people who thought that people needed freedom so he set out for the Greek Empire. 570 B.C. Cheisthenes was born and he was born to be an aristocrat who were rich people with a lot of power money and land. Athens was in the middle of the Mediterrian sea and is a peninsula. The Athens town was built around the acropolis. There life expectancy was less than 15 years. Common Athenians lived under the rules of Aristocrats. Aristotle thought Athens was unfair and unjust. Greece was three fourths mountainous. It was divided into city-states, and Sparta was its own city-state, known for military and war. They lived in barraks, and the Spartan life was without comfort. Ancient tales and myths made there lives interesting. Homer wrote the Iliad and the Odessey. Physisticris showed up with a tall beautiful women and claimed she was the Goddesses Athena and that he should be ruler because Athena loves him and is looking over him. b
