how hard was life

in conclusion if you lived in ancient Athens It was a
difficult and hard life if you were a helot because they would have to follow their
master and if they had to follow them through war with no training they would
most likely get killed it would be hard to be a slave doing everyone else’s work.
It would have been a free and happy for if you were a metic there were no
expectations of you. You were very free you could travel and if you made a lot
of money then you would an amazing life. An aAthenian, you were expected to do
anything the state tells you had a lot of limitations for what you can and
can’t do. So if you were a helot it was hard and long life, if you were a metic
you were free and if you were an Athenian you had a good life but it is a
guided and structured life.

was a democracy they would vote on their decisions instead of having a king. But

Education

Education for different genders
and the differences between them. For woman they were educated on sewing,
cooking and some basics when young from mother but really no formal schooling
for woman. For men they were taught by their mother until 7 when they started
school and learnt writing and arithmetic. At 12 they started music learning the
lyre and singing.  Also starting P.E
because they believed a healthy mind deserved a healthy body.  So in conclusion a girl would get what she
would need in her role as a woman and a boy in schooling would get what they
needed.
