Greece Democracy

Today in Honors Western Civilization we continued on the forty six slide Google Slides and continued to take notes in our book. Before I forget, IN 508 BCE DEMOCRACY WAS CREATED IN ANCIENT GREECE. Now, here are some notes that I took in class today:
-Hippians was a tyrant who ruled from 527 to 510 BCE
-his brother was murdered, and his rule became harsh
-eventually he was exspelled from Athens
-in revenge, he began working with the Persian King Darius I, helping them invade Marathon
-with Hippias gone, Isagoras and Cleisthenes took control
-Isagoras had support from some fellow aristocrats, plus from Sparta
-Cleisthenes had support of the majority of Athenians
-Isagoras becomes archon eponymous
-he ostracizes Cleisthenes
-Cleisthenes' supporters and Athenian citizens revolt against Isagoras
-they trap Isagoras on the acropolis for two days-on the third day he fled and was banished
-Cleisthenes- definately a member of the elite
      -very rich
      -crafty politician
-saw the value of tapping into the talents, intelligence, and energies of the non-aristocrats
-too bad he didn't realize the value

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
