(p.85) Briefly explain the cycle of change in the government of the Greek city-states.
Most city-states followed a cycle of monarchy-aristocracy-oligarchy-tyranny-democracy. For example, a city usually began as a monarchy ruled by one called a king. Gradually, the government fell into the hands of the strongest families, becomming an aristocracy. Next, the few rich rose to power and established an oligarchy. This led to a tyranny, the oppressive rule of one man. Eventually, the people overthrew the tyrant and established a democracy ruled by the masses. However, democracy often gave way to oligarchy and tyranny. Thus, the form of government in most Greek cities was constantly changing.
(p.85) Briefly compare and contrast Athens and Sparta.
Athens developed a very democratic society. Athenian society encouraged the development of the mind as well as the body. Thus, art and athletics flourished in Athens. In Sparta, however, a strong oligarchy dominated society. Spartan society encouraged the exclusion of all else. As a result, Sparta was more like an armed military camp. Both Athens and Sparta depended heavily on slave labor.
(p.85) Give some examples of humanism in Greek society.
Humanism can be seen in nearly every facet of Greek society. The arts emphasized and exaggerated humman beauty; athletics promoted the development of physical beauty and ability of man. Also, the Greek gods were merely glorified men themselves, and Greek heroes were "supermen" much like the gods.
