Class today

Today in class we took a couple more notes. Here are some of the notes i took in class today:
- Athens had an Oligarchy type of government.
- Athens grew to be very wealthy and powerful because of trading routes.
- Made wine, olive oil, weapons, pottery, and had jobs like metal workers and silver smiths.
- Standard of living goes up with wealth and population began to rise higher then ever before because people had enough money to raise a family now and pay for it.
- Aristocrats- People who own land.
- Demos- Middle class workers, usually for the aristocrats, sort of like slaves.
- Political power extended to all male citizens creating democracy.
