    It’s 427 BCE, and the worst internal conflict ever to occur in the ancient Greek world is in its fourth year. Athens is facing a big decision: what to do with the people of Mytilene, a city on the island of Lesbos where a revolt against Athenian rule has just been put down. How did these kinds of decisions get made? Robert Garland outlines a day in the life of Athenian democracy.
    Lesson by Robert Garland, animation by Zedem Media.

    "A ship was immediately dispatched to Mytilene to countermand the execution order sent out the previous day. The Mytilenean representatives in Athens offered a sizable reward to the crew if the ship arrived in time to prevent the executions. Rowing day and night, sleeping in shifts, and eating at their oars, the rowers of the second trireme managed to make up the first ship's one day lead and arrive at Mytilene just as Paches was reading the original order, in time to prevent its execution." - Wikipedia page on Mytilenean revolt, Thucidides account

    In case anyone was wondering, the second ship rowed much faster than the first ship whose crew was in no rush to carry out their gruesome task. The second ship managed to catch up with the first ship on the shore of Mytilene, narrowly stopping the massacre with mere minutes to spare.

      The first ship was not being rowed fast because the people on board needed their strength for a massacre. On the other hand, the second ship was rowed as fast as possible as they needed to stop a massacre.

    As a Greek student who has been taught about the Peloponnesian war at school an awful amount of times, I find this way of learning about it much more interesting than just reading straight from a book. You focus on the main events of the war and also get to see what everyday life was like back then. I wish classes were more like that, students would be way more interested in the subject

    I live in Mytilene and its nice to see that you mentioned us. But there is something wrong here: Mytilenians did not betray their alliance with Athenians. Athenians instead controlled the alliance in a harsh way towards its members, forcing them to pay annually either by giving money or ships. Mytilene and other cities protested trying to leave the alliance but Athenians didnt let them, and ended up violently stopping them as it was mentioned in the video.

      If a vassal stops paying tribute it is usually considered a revolt or rebellion. I do understand their alliance was an unfair one, but this type of alliance is fairly common throughout history.

A mere shadow of the country that existed before everything, and gave birth to civilizations on the planet. I am proud and ashamed at the same time....

    Discussing and deciding all together in public space like Agorà is the highest and only true form of democracy, but this will never be possible until people won't be free from working. You simply don't have time to partecipate to public meetings, as well as educating yourself to make true conscious decisions (those made by the people in our democracies are probably not). I wonder if Artificial Intelligence will ever truly free humans from work, giving us the chance to establish a true democracy. What do you think guys?

    The Spartan land army was nothing compared to the Athenian land army. It wasn't the Spartan army alone that invaded Athens. but the entire Peloponisian army.Most often every single peloponisian city would send two thirds of their army for the invantions. While Spartans where better trained than Athenians, their numbers where too tiny to be compared to the Athenian military, while Athenians soldiers/citizens where extremely war expirienced.

    Στην Ελλάδα βρέθηκε το αρχαιότερο αλφάβητο της Ανθρωπότητας!
    Στο Δισπηλιό Καστοριάς ανακαλύφθηκε το 1993 μ.Χ. από την Αρχαιολογική ομάδα του Πανεπιστημιακού Καθηγητή Γεωργίου Χουρμουζιάδη Νεολιθικός οικισμός της λίμνης, που είχε γραφή κι αλφάβητο, και μία ξύλινη πινακίδα του 5260 π.Χ. με γράμματα.
    Η ξύλινη πινακίδα με την επιγραφή χρονολογήθηκε επακριβώς με τη μέθοδο του άνθρακα-14 στον «Δημόκριτο» στο 5260 π.Χ., δηλαδή στο τέλος της μέσης Νεολιθικής Περιόδου. Πρόκειται για την αρχαιότερη γραφή που έχει βρεθεί παγκοσμίως. Τα γράμματα μπορούν να ενταχθούν στο σύστημα της παλαιοευρωπαϊκής γραφής και μάλιστα στην πρώιμη φάση της. Ανατρέπεται η θεωρία πως οι Έλληνες-όπως μας διδάσκουν- έλαβαν το φως εξ' ανατολάς (από Βαβυλώνιους, Σουμέριους, Φοίνικες, κτλ) όταν δηλαδή, εκείνοι οι Ανατολικοί λαοί εκφράζονταν με ιδεογράμματα. Πολύ προγενέστερα οι Έλληνες έγραφαν με συλλαβές. "Στην Πινακίδα του Δισπηλιού, τα σήματα δεν έχουν ιδεογραφικό χαρακτήρα (με μορφές ανθρώπων, ζώων, του ήλιου κτλ) αλλά παρουσιάζουν προχωρημένο χαρακτήρα αφαίρεσης, άρα είναι προϊόν διανοητικής επεξεργασίας", είπε ο καθηγητής Προϊστορικής Αρχαιολογίας στο ΑΠΘ Χουρμουζιάδης.

    Women in ancient Greecd were treated as being worth nothing though. Even being called 'vermin' in some ancient texts. The man in this video would never even have thought to listen to his wife and I'm quite sure she wouldn't have dared open her mouth. Women were practically locked up in the house and weren't allowed to wat much, move much or do much at all. I've read texts in which the writer longed for a world where women would not be necessary for reproduction and we could do away with them. At most they were seen as a drain on resources.

The idea is to provide an example of what COULD happen in a typical day... it's supposed to entertaining and educate you a little about their ideologies. I don't want to watch a video where the narrator just says "He woke up. He went to buy bread. He made pottery. He sold pottery. He comes home to his wife. They go to sleep."

      Obviously some parts are historical fiction. History doesn’t remember the actions of individual commoners. This random pottery painter would not have been recorded in the annals of history. The wider conflict between Athens and Sparta is historical fact. The rebellion of an Athenian tribute state and the subsequent punishment would probably be accurate.
