help them, but they were
not strong enough to defeat
the Persian army.

This made the Persian King, Darius, very
angry with Greece.
AGH!Those Greeks will pay for
this

the Age of Pericles.
•Pericles believed that all male citizens should take part in government.
•He paid salaries to men who held public office.
•Poor to serve in the government.
•The assembly met several times a month, needed 6k members to take a vote.
•This was direct democracy, a large number of citizens took part in the day to day
affairs of the government.
Pericles stated, “We alone, regard a man who takes no interest in public affairs,
not as harmless, but as a useless character.
Pericles rebuilt the Acropolis and turned Athens into the cultural center of Greece.

Athens takes treasury, spends $ on itself.
League becomes a financial empire.

Greek against Greek
Many Greeks resented the Athenian domination.
The Greek world split into rival camps.
To counter the Delian League, Sparta and other enemies of Athens formed the Peloponnesian
League.
Sparta encouraged an Oligarchy (government run by business) in the states of the
Peloponnesian League, and Athens supported democracy.
A 27 year war broke out in 431 B.C. engulfing all of Greece

Peloponnesian War
•Athens faced a serious geographic disadvantage from the start.
•Sparta was located inland, the Athenian navy was no good against them.
•When Sparta invaded Athens, Pericles allowed people from the countryside to move inside the city.
•Overcrowding led to a plague that killed a third of the people.
•Internal struggles undermined the Democratic government of Athens.
•Sparta even allied with Persia, their old enemy, against the Delian League.
•Finally, in 404 B.C., with the help of the Persian navy, the Spartans captured Athens and stripped it of its fleet and empire.
