MAINS GREEK POLIS



Athens and Sparta 




Athens. According to legend, ancient Athens was claimed by the goddess Athena after defeating King Poseidon in an epic battle.



Sparta. Sparta was one of the largest city-states of ancient Greece and long the main rival of Athens.




The ancient cops were the stage for Greek culture. They were located in elevated positions that facilitated the defense, near natural ports and always sheltered by their walls. The urban layout did not have any premeditated order, the houses were piled up forming narrow and irregular streets.
The reconstruction of the city of Athens after being destroyed by Xerxes in 480 a.C, marked a milestone in the urban conception. The oldest and highest part, the acropolis, was dedicated to the gods, concentrating in it the temples. The life of the city moved to the lower part, more comfortable.

MAIN BUILDINGS

The life of the ancient Greeks passed in the street so there were plenty of meeting places in the city, public spaces such as:
Stoa: arcaded corridors located on the sides of the square to protect from sun and rain. They used to be decorated with paintings to make the walk more pleasant.
The buleuterios and eclesiasterios: spaces for political discussion.
They had a stage where the work was developed and that, in its later part, counted on wooden decorations. There was a space for the choir (very important in the Greek dramas since it challenged the actors and the public).
GYMNASIUM,ARENA &STADIUM
For sports competitions and trainings.
Temples: they were located in special zones (acropolis), usually in the upper parts of the cities.
The Greek polis spread through the Mediterranean with colonization, adapting to the orthographic diversity of each place. The change of model occurred during Hellenism. The new cities founded by Alexander and his successors applied the ideas of Hipodamo de Mileto (498-408 a.C.) who, after the destruction of his city by the Persians projected a plan of straight streets, orthogonal or "checkerboard".
