Athenians always held festivals for the gods that were worshipped but the most important festival was the Panathenaea (all Athenian festival) festival. Athens had yearly festivals for Athletics, drama and religious occasions. To help cover the costs of the festivals people would use city taxes to cover only some of the costs, but rich citizens had to pay extra than other citizens. Therefore Festivals were a big feature in Athenians’ lives.

When Athens became much more powerful men and boys were really encouraged to participate (take part) in things like politics, education, military training, athletics and commerce. Male Athenians did many activities to keep them occupied throughout the day, but most of these activities were prohibited from women. An example of one of the activities was, men had to the ones to go out to the markets because they believed that women wouldn’t understand how money worked and how to handle it. This was the reason why could inherit land but not buy and sell it. This  meant only men could buy and sell land.

They were expected to have children, practically males because they were much more needed than females were. When girls reached the age of fourteen-year-old they were forced to get married to a thirty-year-old man. This shows how strict rules/laws were in Athens.
