Cimon

Cimon was an Athenian military general living in the 6th and 5th century BCE. He was the son of Miltiades and Hegesipyle which made him very well known (Plutarch 120). Throughout his life, he lead many successful military missions as well as some unsuccessful. Cimon had a slight mishap when he advocated that there should be more cooperation between Athens and Sparta- two rival states.

The League, under the control of Cimon, then besieged Thasos for two years, and 'destroyed their city walls, confiscated their navy, closed their mint and annexed their possessions on the mainland.' According to Thucydides, the period from the revolt of Thasos to the ostracism of Cimon (465-461BC) was the time when the main friction between Sparta and Athens occurred and eventually led to their war. If Sparta

many different political leaders including Solon, Pisistratus, Cleisthenes, Themistocles, Cimon and Pericles. But was the democratic movement affected by revolutionary ardour or evolution? For this question to be answered, one must look at the first example of democracy, and how it blossomed into the system it is today. By looking at the ancient Greek leaders Solon, Pisistratus, Cleisthenes, Themistocles, Cimon and Pericles, one can determine whether democracy was affected by revolution or evolution

Cimon was also young, good-looking, and the darling of the old but influential aristocratic class,”(Nardo 30). One of the biggest risks he took while campaigning against him was trying to remove from it completely so that he had no competition. “But, he then realized, that would require opposing the nobles and backing the commoners,” (Nardo 30).

He first made a name for himself in the courtroom where he prosecuted the leading statesmen, Cimon, for accepting bribes in exchange to not invade Macedonia after winning a victory in Thrace.

(Azoulay 2014, 25). However, Cimon faced a lawsuit, having been accused of accepting bribes from the king of Macedon (Azoulay 2014, 25). The prosecution was led by Pericles, and although, Cimon was found innocent, Pericles’ unsuccessful political debut brought him to the attention of the Athenian society

Why do wars arise and recurrence? Why do history always repeat itself? Especially when it comes down to cases where choices that are involved to create these wars are tangled by individuals who are very careful and great rational actors. There are many questions and many answers to this question. One of the causes of war many believe it’s true when wars come about is that a war cost cannot overpoweringly be high. By that I mean in the eyes of the individuals making the decisions there must be some

People’s anxiety levels will be tested through their heart rates. The resting heart rate of 30 people will be taken, and then the test group will be split in half. The first 15 subjects are going to be told that they are going to watch a scary video. And for the last 15 we will not tell the subjects anything that will happen in the video. A series of health questions that have nothing to do with our project will be asked. The goal of this project is to record any changes in heart rate, due to anxiety
