Emily - Athenian Citizen and Erasistratus

Athen Citizen

The Athenian citizens would decide how their city-state was run. At the meetings of the governing assembly, also known in Greek as the ecclesia, they voted on the laws and they elected officials. The Citizens were only allowed to be men. The slaves were not included and neither were the women or the children.



Erasistratus

Erasistratus was a Greek anatomist and royal Physican. He thought that the nerves moved a nervous spirit from the brain. Erasistratus is credited with the first in-depth descriptions of the cerebrum and the cerebellum.
