Review

• Athens had a very strong Navy, and Sparta had a very strong Army.
• trireme- a massive ship, 3 sections for people to row. It has a very big wooden ram that is covered in metal that would hit other ships and make them sink, damage the ship, etc.
• Sparta was isolated, barely ever traded
• Athens welcomed foreigners, traded often.
•  Phalanx- 256 guys in a formation with people in the front holding their spears out and shields in front.
• Athens was more focused on literature (learning), Sparta was more focused on war.
• Aliens- people that came from other parts of the world.
• Acropolis- a combination of fortresses and temples at the highest point of the town, near water so they could see their enemies coming.
• Monarchy- run by one person (king or queen)
• oligarchy - rule by group of people
• tyranny- when you seize power and just take over and run things.
• Democracy- people have a say, people can vote. (only adult males that are from the country, Not aliens)
• Peloponnesus- the peninsula off of Greece.
