How did these kinds of decisions get made? Robert Garland outlines a day in the life of Athenian democracy. Lesson by Robert Garland

Athens, a nation of hypocrites that believe in democracy but will not allow women or slaves to be involved in the process. Why don't we talk about ancient Persia, an empire that actually didn't own slaves and yet became known as the bad guys throughout the world?

does anyone else sometimes daydream of living in ancient Greece or ancient Rome, the beautiful literature, plays, and architecture. Life would be so simple and beautiful.

Y'know, I've alway's found it odd, that for a city who's deity was the goddess of wisdom, they didn't let their daughters get an education.
