Cyber School Begins!
Today is the first day of cyber school. I just finished my Biology homework and now I am on to my Western Civ blog. For this blog, we have to write a paragraph answering three questions from the textbook. Happy first day of Cyber School. Here is my paragraph:
Pericles was a man who led Athens through much of its Golden Age. He ruled from 461 to 429 B.C.E. This period of time is often called "The Age of Pericles" because of his dominate rule. He had three goals for Athens. He wanted to strengthen Athenian democracy, hold and strengthen the empire, and, finally, to glorify Athens. In order to strengthen democracy, Pericles introduced direct democracy. In direct democracy, the "regular" people of Athens ruled directly and not through representatives. These citizens (all males) that were apart of the direct democracy made many government polices and rules that affected all of Athens. After the Athenians defeated the Persians, the Athenians made the Delian League. Athens dominated all the city-states within the Delian League. Pericles used the money from this league to build a better navy. A superior navy would improve the safety of Athens. Pericles also used the money to glorify Athens. He did not look to the league for approval to buy lots of gold, ivory, and marble. Through direct democracy, the Delian League, and money, Pericles accomplished all of his goals for Athens.
