I REALLY NEED HELP!!!! The Delian League was started as an association of Greek city-states. Each city-state contributed to the

defense of all the members. Athens, as the wealthiest and strongest member, quickly took control. When the Persian threat diminished, some city-states wanted to leave the league, but Athens prevented them from withdrawing. Pericles praised Athens as an example for the entire world, but not everyone agreed. Thucydides criticized the Delian League and the way Athens controlled it. Read each quotation aloud. Then answer the questions.
Pericles: “When our work is done, we are in a position to enjoy all kinds of recreation for our spirits. There are ceremonies and contests all year. In our homes we find a beauty and good taste which delight us every day and drive away our cares.”

Thucydides: “…the Athenians were very severe and exacting, and made themselves offensive by applying the screw of necessity [applying economic pressure] to men who were not used to and in fact not disposed for any continuous labor.”

How did Beethoven influence the new world order?
Hunter-Best [27]

Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer who, more than any other, changed music, the sound of music and what it is that composers do, wrote nine symphonies that jolted music out of itself. Life could never – would never – be the same again. The “classical” rationality of structure, harmony, form, melodic development and orchestration span into open-ended possibility. And, nearly 200 years after his death, no one expects the pieces to settle down again any time soon.
