Explanation

Ancient Greece is the civilization from 19th century BC to the 7th century AD  considered as one of the most important ancient civilizations as it provided the foundation for the western culture, for Greek culture science and knowledge was as important as religion and because of this the greeks discoveries and developments in terms of science were important and included astronomy discoveries, the first model to prove the earth was sphere   and the movements of it was created by the greeks Callippus of Cyzicus and  Eudoxus of Cnidus in the 4th century BC, later other advancements were made including a heliocentric system by Aristarchus of Samos in the 3th century and  calculations of the circunference of Earth by Eratosthenes. Because of this, the Greeks were the first culture to determine that the earth was a sphere and create multiple models and calculations related to it.

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
