today in class we reviewed more of a power point presentation.

Aristocracy

-Aristocracy is ruled by aristocrats-They attended symposiums-Symposiums were meetings where the elite men would enjoy wine and poetry, performances by dancers and acrobats and the coming of hetaeras (courtesans) while discussing politics
An Exclusive Club
-No women allowed (except the "entertainment")-No middle class-Certainly, no slaves-Sometimes, even aristocrats who didn't have the right connections or who fell out of favor, were excluded-What to do if you're "on the outside"?
