Feb 8 - Athens Greece: The First Great Democracy
Although there are fleeting examples of democratic government during pre-classical periods, most ancient historians still believe that classical Athens created the world’s first sustained democracy. This lecture will address questions such as: Why did democracy first spring forth in Athens? Was its birth rapid or did democracy develop over a period of time? What role does a tyrant play in Athenian democracy and finally, how does Athens’ military enemy, Persia, unintentionally push Athens toward democracy?
Presenter: Dennis Gray, Richland College instructor
