Exercises on Greek cities

question 1

(UEL-PR) With the new division of society, any citizen could participate in the decisions of power. Only slaves and metics (foreigners) did not participate in political decisions, as they did not have the right to citizenship.

The text can be associated:

  1. Dracon and colonial expansion towards the Mediterranean.
  2. Solon and the militarization of Spartan politics.
  3. Psistratus and the Hellenization of the Balkan Peninsula.
  4. Pericles and the Greek cultural hegemony in the Peloponnese.
  5. Clisthenes and the Athenian Slave Democracy.
question 2

(PUC-SP) In the contemporary sense of the term, especially with implications of political unity, the word nation cannot be applied to Ancient Greece. So much so that:

  1. different cultural patterns prevailed in the various regions.
  2. the forms of government were unique, but they maintained total autonomy.
  3. there was no unity of language and religion among the various urban populations.
  4. the cities were independent in matters of their own interest.
  5. the tendency to prohibit similar economic activities was predominant.
question 3

The ancient Greeks developed rationalism as a way and method of understanding the reality that surrounded them, overcoming (but not excluding) some religious premises. In the political organization of the Greek polis, rationalism also manifested itself:

  1. on the understanding that community problems were a result of human action, but their solution depended a lot on what was exposed in the oracles.
  2. on the understanding that problems had unknown origins, but their solution depended on human solutions.
  3. in the understanding that the problems and solutions would come from the divinities and it was up to man to interpret them in the best possible way.
  4. on the ability of the Greeks to understand that the problems of the community are caused by human beings and require human solutions.
