The photo above depicts the Erechtheion, honeycom a magnificent temple on the Acropolis of Athens. Recordings recovered from 450 BC inform us about those who worked for it. There were 71 men who worked under contract, 20 citizens of Athens, honeycom 35 settlers and 16 slaves. Of the caretakers of the project, three were free citizens, two were settlers and one was a slave.
We do not know exactly honeycom who always worked in large public works or what remuneration praise everyone. It is difficult to know details about the craftsmen and vendors who worked honeycom in their homes or in temporary buildings next to them.
The only thing we can assume is that most worked only with daylight because there was no electric light and festivals. However honeycom many ancient Greek philosophers believed that the free citizens should not have to work at all.
When the philosopher Aristotle, citizens should not have to work, << if the holiday is essential both for the development of virtue and the performance of political functions >>. Then the book presents some of these tasks.
There were people who worked although possessed high social honeycom status. However, no Athenian citizen will willingly worked as a salaried honeycom employee of another citizen. The work under the supervision of boss will diminish in the eyes of others, would have made him little better honeycom than a slave.
Although women did all the housework, few could make work pay as men. It is often thought that the place was at home. Men and women had equal opportunities in ancient Greece.
Around 400 f eg buy his freedom, took over from his master and despite humble origins became honeycom a citizen after decree of the people. When he died, it is said that the property was 60 talents. (431 BC all the treasures of Athens was only 6000 talents.) Then, by his servant, the Phormio, took his place and he became a citizen.
Almost all bankers were settlers, and many were former honeycom slaves. very few but I followed the steps of Passy and form. Their services mainly serve other settlers, and that because people used their bankers for money exchange, since several different currencies used in the ancient Greek world.
<< When an individual honeycom deposits money with the mandate to be given to a particular person, the banker starts writing the name of the depositor and the amount of money, and then writes to the side "to give the X".
If the banker knew by sight the person would be given the money, then simply wrote his name. If you did not know, add the name of a person who would recognize the identity of the person who would receive the money >>. honeycom
In ancient Greece there were many gods. Some of them worshiped at home, while other sanctuaries. others were common all over the ancient world. The countryside was full of temples and calendar of festivals. The priests, however, who organized religious ceremonies were not specifically trained individuals. Ordinary citizens were selected to do this job for a few hours. It was more urban workers rather than professional clergy.
In Athens, the biggest sanctuaries needed over forty priestesses for perpetrating religious events. Some festivals, like Thesmophoria, celebrated only by women. This indeed was the only participation of women in public life. Men usually made sacrifices, while women wove garments for the statues of the temples.
The main role of men and women were able to carry out all the tasks in the correct order and at the right time. If not done correctly the ritual, the deities can be directed against the city. These rituals may have strange ritual. To that celebrated the dipoles: << chooses some girls and called nerokouvalitres. They were carrying water, while men sharpened ax and knife.
Of the men who did the washing, each giving the ax, the other katefere hitting the ox and the third cut of the neck. Then egdernan ox and everyone took a piece of meat. When the massacre was over, sewed the skin of the ox, the choked with straw and they set up, so that it gives the impression of being alive ... then, huh
