Education
Athens was the main educational, intellectual and cultural center of Ancient Greece. The main purpose of education in Ancient Athens was to make citizens trained in the arts, and to prepare them for both peace and war. It was aimed at the cultivation of the students' physical, mental, and moral qualities.
Economy
Because The land around Athens did not provide enough food for all the city's people, Athens's economy was based on trade. Athens is near the sea and has a good harbor. This enabled Athenians to trade with other city-states and with several foreign lands to obtain the goods and natural resources they needed.
Gonernment
Every citizen could take part in the city's government. A group called the Council of 500 met every day. Each year, the names of all the citizens 30 years of age or older where collected. Then, 500 citizens were selected to be on the council. The council ran the daily business of government and suggested new laws.
