Test review for tomorrow

Today in class we reviewed for the test tomorrow on Ancient Greece. The test is on two sections from the textbook and slides one through 32 on the slideshow. There is short answer, map labeling, matching, and multiple choice. We took some more notes. Cleisthenes and democracy: a member of the elite, very rich, insulated from "hoi pollo", crafty (smart) politician. Saw value of tapping into people's talents, intelligence and energies of middle-class citizens, didn't see the value of women. New for of government: citizens could participate (only 1/5 of Athenians were citizens) (free adult, male, property-owning, born in Athens. Direct democracy: where the state ( city-state) is ruled by citizens. Rule-based on citizenship, majority rule decides to vote. Then after that, we were called down to go to an Ash Wednesday prayer service.
