The Second Athenian Empire or Confederacy was a maritime confederation of Aegean Islands Aegean city states from 378 BC 355 BC and headed by Athens polis Athens primarily for self defense against the growth of Sparta and secondly, the Persian Empire . Origins The formation of the confederacy was stimulated by the invasion of Attica by Sphodrias of Sparta and Sparta s refusal to prosecute him for his actions according to Xenophon and Diodorus Siculus . It was extremely popular at first, with a number of states previously controlled by Sparta signing up as members due to Sparta s increasing imperialism over the Decree of Aristoteles . An inscribed prospectus for the league was found at Athens Inscriptions Greques 2, 43, also known as the Aristoteles decree dating to 377 BC, detailing the aims of the new league. The intention was to ensure that Sparta would allow all the Greeks to be autonomous the states involved were all to have autonomy and Athens was not permitted to own land in any of the states who were members, or to inflict upon them a garrison or a cleruchy each member could also choose their own constitution, not necessarily a democracy. This prospectus appears to try to promise that this league would not turn out the same way as the earlier, fifth century Delian League which had been unpopular in many quarters as Athens behaviour was heavy handed at times particularly towards those states which had rebelled or showed signs of wanting to rebel. Running of the League The League had a synedrion at Athens,within which each of the league s members were to be autonomous and have one vote each. Along with Athens this was a bicameral system and it is thought that Athens could not make any decisions without the agreement of the synedrion. There were to be no tributes as there had ...

Pagenumbers date October 2010 Orphan date August 2010 Some authors have argued that use of costume in Athenian tragedy was standardized for the genre . ref Taylor, 1999. ref This is said to have consisted of a full length or short tunic, a cloak and soft leather boots, and may have been derived from the robes of Dionysos Dionysian priests or invented by Aeschylus . Brockett, however, disputes this, arguing that the evidence we have is based on archaeological remains, some few references in the texts, and the writings of later authors. As far as the vase paintings are concerned, most of these are dated later than the 5th Century BCE and their relationship with theatrical practice is unclear. One of the earliest examples is a red figure vase painting c. 500 490 BCE that shows a tragic Greek chorus chorus invoking a ghost, on a crater bowl in the Antikenmuseum in Basle. ref name The Ancient Theatre, E. Simon Simon, 1982. ref The tragic actors were certainly heavily disguised.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The law court s in classical ancient Athens Athens 4th and 5th centuries Anno Domini BC were a fundamental organ of Athenian democracy democratic governance. According to Aristotle , whoever controls the courts, controls the state. These courts were jury courts and very large ones the smallest possible had 200 members 1 to avoid ties and sometimes 500, 1000 or 1500. The annual pool of jurors, whose official name was Heliaia comprised 6000 members. At least on one known occasion the whole six thousand sat together to judge a single case a plenary session of the Heliaia . This was very different from Rome s laws, as in Rome, jury representatives were elected. The Athenian jurors were chosen randomly by lot, which meant that juries would consist, in theory, of a wide range of members from all walks of life. Jurors were chosen on an annual basis, as were all other offices within the state with the exception of the generals, known as Strategos strategoi . After the reforms of Solon in 594 3 BC, anyone from each of the four classes the pentacosiomedimni, hippeis, zeugites and thetes could become a juror. This was meant to make the system much fairer to the poorer members of society, who had previously been excluded in favour of the elitist Aristocracy aristocrats . The archon s who convened the courts had a purely administrative function and gave no legal direction or advice to the jurors there was no judge but the jurors themselves. From the time of Pericles onwards, jury pay was introduced. This was two Obolus obols a day, which, despite not being a substantial amount of money, was enough to encourage even the poorest to become a juror. This was later increased to three obols a day.
