In today's class, we took more notes about the Greek government and some mythical stories about heroic people in that time era.
Polis- fundamental, political unit, made up of a city and the surrounding countryside
Monarchy- Rule by one person\
Aristocracy- Rule by a small group of noble, very rich, landowning families
Oligarchy- wealthy groups, dissatisfied with aristocratic rule, who seize power
Tyrant- powerful individual who seized control by appealing to the common people for support
Then after the note taking, we finished our note taking on pages 118-126. This was mostly talking about the terrain of Greece and the sea surrounding it and what were the positives and negative towards living right next to a body of water.
