They were ruled by an elite group whose authority was indisputable.

  2. metecos: foreing people who where not consider citizens, but they could pay taxes and be part of the army.
  3. slaves: men and women submitted to a master.

Athenian politics evolved to democracy

  • Sparta: it was the rival city of Athenas. It was always ready to go to war. The military education started since childhood. They were forced to take a military politic in the face of constant need to dominate peoples submitted  as a result of its territorial expansion.
