Athenian Men

I have had a weird life. I live in Athens, in Greece. since I was born I thought that the government was weird. Woman were not allowed to leave home without company of another person. And slaves had to work all day in the silver mines and if they took one break they got wiped.

The assembly met every ten days and there had to be 6000 men there and if there were not enough slaves would go out and use ropes dipped in red paint to get men in. I had that once it was really embarrassing. The assembly met to talk about new rules and things to make our government better. There is a water clock so people don’t talk too long.

The console of 500 men met every day to discuss things. I never got to be on the console because I was never rich enough to be on the console. And you had to be 60 or older to be on it. I’m only 40!

There are really good smells at the Angora. The angora sells goods like pottery,veggies,fruits and oils. They even sell slaves, which I think is not nice. Over all it is nice living here, but some things about the government,slaves,and women are not very nice to people.
