  6. 🔺️Explore the "Pyramid of Hellinikon" (Πυραμίδα του Ελληνικού), a monument in #Greece, situated along the ancient road to Tegea.
    37°35′14″N 22°40′17″E.

    Archaeologists have debated its origin and purpose. Although in late antiquity, Pausanias referred to a local "polyandrion"(πολυάνδριον/ collective burial mound), today it is regarded as a fortified watchtower (pyrgion/πυργίον) or a fire-signal tower (fryktoria/φρυκτωρία).

  13. A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, twice around 400 BCE.

    After the surrender, the Athenian Ekklesia (assembly) soon divided into three camps:
    * supporters of a “patrios politeia” (ancestral constitution),
    * preservers of democracy,
    * proponents of oligarchy’.
    Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BCE, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all the affairs of the polis.

    ‘The Thirty initially avoided drafting a precise constitution. Instead, they sought to: a) establish a functional interim government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws.’

  14. A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, on two occasions around 400 BC.

    After military defeat, "the Athenian Ekklesia (Assembly) soon divided into three camps: those who favored a "patrios politeia" (ancestral constitution), those who desired to keep a democracy, and those who wanted an oligarchy." Opposition to any resolution was mainly led by the democratic faction. Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BC, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all polis affairs.
    "The Thirty at first avoided crafting a definite constitution. They sought instead to a) establish an interim functioning government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws".
