Movie on Greeks Part 4

Today in Mr. Schick's West Civ class we continued to watch the movie on Greeks. Mr. Schick wasn't here on Friday like me so we kind of needed to get caught up on where we left. I went on the Honors English field trip to Washington D.C. and Mr. Schick chaperoned Senior Retreat. This is the last notes I had before I was absent.  Cleisthenes established the first form of voting. He had the people of Athens place white pebbles in if they wanted it to pass and black pebbles if they wanted to pass on it. An agora was established so that someone could just stand up on something and say what their opinion was. In 490 B.C., Phidipitee’s quest for survival began. He was running away from Persian rule and ran 140 miles in two days. Only to be turned down by the Spartans and failed the mission.
