Movie review day 2

We continued watching the movie and reviewing it. The people rose up in revolution. It was the first time in history that the people overthrew the government.  Cleisthenes was let back in Athens after the revolution. The agora was a place that people met to talk about government. Democracy was invented by Cleisthenes. In 490 B.C Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Sparta to tell the people that Persia was invading and to ask the Spartains for help. Hoplites were trianed soldiers. Greeks found whatever they could use as weapons to fight the Persians. The Athenians fought the Persians and the Persians eventually retreated. Themistocles was a leader who helped the Greeks fight the Persians.
