Detailed explanation-1: -Athenians placed a heavy emphasis on the arts, architecture, and literature. The Athenians built thousands of temples and statues that embodied their understanding of beauty. Today the term “classical” is used to describe their enduring style of art and architecture.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Athenian economy was based on trade. The land around Athens did not provide enough food for the entire city’s people. But Athens was near the sea, and it had a good harbor, so Athenians traded with other city-states and some foreign lands to get the goods and natural resources they needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -People in Athens believed that producing good citizens was the main purpose of education. Since only boys could grow up to be citizens, boys and girls were educated quite differently. Athenians believed that a good citizen should have both an intelligent mind and a healthy body.
