Athenian Governerment

I thought it was unfair that women had to cover their face. I thought it was incredible that 1/3 Athenians were slaves. I knew there were slaves in country's then and now but not that high a ratio. I feel that what the Greek called slaves was not respectful at all. I get that they were fighting a battle with you and were captured but really, "man things". I thought it was ridiculous the things they did to slaves. Why would you want someone to be a prisoner to you, just to brag to others. I thought it was strange how only people born in Athens could vote. You would think if slaves served a certain number of years in their military they would gain voting rights.
