Democracy is a unique feature of ancient Greek civilization, which reached its greatest flourishing in Athens, one of the most powerful policies of Ancient Greece. And the era of Pericles is called by historians the “Golden Age” of democracy: it was during the period of his activity that the concept of democracy was filled with real content. Many historians are still convinced that by studying the Athenian democracy of the time of Pericles, important lessons can be learned for modern politicians.


Explain why the period of Pericles' reign is called the "heyday of Athenian democracy."



The leader of the Athenian democracy Pericles 1. The leader of the Athenian democracy Pericles After the Greco-Persian wars, Athens began to flourish. Pericles was at their head at that time. In 443 BC. e. The Athenians elected him for the first time to the highest position in their polis. He was then re-elected 15 more times. Historians say that Pericles was an outstanding statesman and patriot. He (was famous as a wonderful speaker. Eloquence (the ability to speak correctly and convincingly) was a very important quality for a politician. After all, there were no newspapers, radio, or television at that time. To achieve success, it was necessary to convince the people's assembly that one was right. For the power of words, contemporaries They called Pericles the Olympian, comparing him with Zeus. Pericles devoted all his strength and all his time to caring for Athens and its citizens. He was honest and selfless. “Although he made the city... the greatest and richest, although he surpassed many kings and tyrants in power ... wrote the master Plutarch, he did not increase his fortune by a single drachma (drachma is an Athenian coin) compared to what his father Pericles left him, made several changes to the administration of the polis, to the rights of citizens, thereby continuing the reforms of Solon and Cleisthenes Under Pericles, democracy finally emerged in Athens.




2. People's Assembly. The main body of government was the people's assembly. All citizens took part in it. A citizen was considered a man who had reached the age of 20 and whose mother and father were both Athenians. The people's assembly met 34 times a month and usually took place in the city center on Pnyx Hill. At the meeting, all the main issues of the life of the city-state were decided and new laws were adopted.




Any citizen had the right to express his opinion on the issue under discussion. One contemporary wrote: “Everyone, standing up, gives advice, be it a carpenter, coppersmith, shoemaker, merchant, shipowner, rich, poor, noble, rootless.”





3. Officials. The People's Assembly elected numerous officials of the polis (we could call them officials). After a year they reported to the meeting. Those who performed poorly were punished, most often they paid a fine. Officials dealt with various issues: they monitored the flow of money into the treasury, compliance with laws and rules of trade in the market, cleanliness on the streets, etc.


4. Court The court played a large role in the life of Athens. All citizens over 30 years of age could participate in its work. 6 thousand judges were elected annually, but they usually did not all sit together. Separate commissions were created for different cases. The judges did not know in advance which commission they would sit on. This eliminated the possibility of bribery.


5. Introduction of payment Participation in government required citizens to spend a lot of time. Not all Athenians could come to meetings of the national assembly and court, or be officials. The poor had to work constantly: peasants cultivate their land, artisans work in their workshops. Every time the question arose for them: should they go to a meeting today or earn money for a living? Pericles thought this was wrong. He wanted even the poorest citizens to participate in government, and he found a way to achieve this.


As ancient authors say, at his suggestion the state began to pay judges. When they met, they received enough money to live for one day. Then they introduced payment for some positions. Later they began to pay those who came to the meeting of the national assembly. Thanks to this, even the poorest citizens had a real opportunity to participate in government. Pericles also achieved the establishment of pensions for orphans and disabled people.


In no other Greek state did the people have as many rights as in Athens. But these were minority rights. In total, approximately 200 thousand people lived in Attica, but there were only 3040 thousand citizens. Women citizens could not participate in government. To the ancient Greeks, the idea that a woman could come to a national assembly seemed simply ridiculous. Free people who moved to Athens from other cities, much less slaves, had no political rights.


6. Construction in Athens under Pericles. Pericles did not want ordinary citizens to turn into beggars living at the expense of the state. Therefore, at his suggestion, temples, public buildings, and fortifications were built in the city. Athens has become the most beautiful city in Greece. Construction provided jobs to many citizens. People of various professions, from loaders and donkey drivers to skilled sculptors and architects, were employed at construction sites. The Athenians mastered new types of craft. Gradually, many of them became good specialists.



7. Military strength of Athens Pericles did a lot to strengthen the power of his city. He saw the main strength of Athens in the fleet. Every year for eight months the fleet sailed throughout the Mediterranean Sea. The sailors were also paid money at this time. The Athenian fleet destroyed the pirates. The time has come for the heyday of maritime trade. The Athens port of Piraeus has become a major trade center. Sometimes up to 400 ships gathered here. The Athenians had great benefits from trade.




8. Slaves. A significant part of the inhabitants of Athens were slaves. “Everyone has slaves,” argued one of the writers. “We are free, because we live by the labor of slaves,” echoed the famous speaker. Slaves worked in the fields, in workshops, and in citizens' homes. The biggest use of slaves was in the silver mines, where they worked day and night. The main source of slaves was war. Many slaves were already born in the master's house. There were few Greeks among the slaves, because those captured were usually ransomed by relatives. Slaves were mainly brought from other countries of Thrace, the Northern Black Sea region and Asia Minor. There were several famous slave markets in Greece. On the first day of each month, slaves were traded in the Athenian agora. The slave climbed onto the platform, and the herald praised his virtues in order to increase the price. The slave had absolutely no rights. He had neither property nor family. They did not see him as a person, he was called a talking instrument. Sometimes slaves ran away from their owners. Those caught were beaten with whips and the inscription was burned on their foreheads: “Hold me. I’m running away.” The death of Socrates was the last and most revealing, his most brilliant philosophical work, which caused deep fermentation of minds and a powerful public resonance throughout many centuries of human history. The young student of Socrates, Plato, who was present at the trial, experienced such a strong moral shock that he became seriously ill. "How to live further in a society that punishes wisdom?" - this is the question that confronted Plato in all its drama and which gave rise to another question: “What should a society be like that is built in full accordance with wisdom?” Thus was born the first philosophical utopia about a “fair” (for its time) social system, which subsequently had a great influence on the emergence and development of utopian socialism

Pericles - orator Once the Spartan king asked the famous wrestler who was stronger - he or Pericles. He replied: “Even if I put Pericles on both shoulders, then even then he will prove that I am defeated, and the people will believe him!” What qualities of Pericles does this indicate? Who is a speaker? A speaker is a person who knows how to make speeches and convince listeners










Democracy under Pericles reached its peak. This is evidenced by: The decisive role in governing the country passed to the People's Assembly and the Council of Five Hundred. Under Pericles, many government positions existed. Government positions other than strategists could be filled by drawing lots. Thanks to Pericles, those who were involved in politics began to receive salaries. Without paying judges, the court would end up in the hands of the rich alone. Now the poor citizens of Athens were also able to participate in the government of the state. Pericles was elected 15 times by the People's Assembly as the first strategist. Citizens trusted him.

Pericles was an outstanding statesman and patriot. He devoted all his energy and time to caring for Athens and its citizens. He was honest and unselfish. He was famous as a wonderful speaker (he had eloquence - the art of speaking correctly and convincingly).








After the discussion, citizens voted. They threw a white pebble for the proposed solution, and a black one against it. The People's Assembly elected numerous officials of the policy: after a year they reported to the assembly. Those who performed poorly were punished: they had to pay a fine.





The court played a big role. All citizens over 30 years of age could take part in its work. 6,000 judges were elected annually, but they did not all sit together. The judges voted using tokens. A token with a hole meant that the person was guilty, and a token without a hole meant that the person was innocent.


In no other Greek city did the people have as many rights as in Athens. But these were minority rights. In total, approximately 200 thousand people lived in Attica, but there were only thousands of citizens. Women could not participate in management (this was unacceptable). Slaves, as well as free people from other policies, had no rights.












A significant part of the inhabitants of Athens were slaves. They worked in the fields, in workshops, and in citizens' homes. The biggest use of slaves was in the silver mines, where they worked day and night. They worked in the fields, in workshops, and in citizens' homes.
