Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.17 Classical Greece skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A polis historian wants to compare how Athens and Sparta defined ‘citizen virtue.’ She gathers: Athenian jury oaths, Spartan agoge rules, and a list of civic honors for festival sponsors.

Which research claim is best supported by using all three kinds of evidence together?

AAthens and Sparta had no expectations for citizens beyond paying taxes.

BOnly Sparta connected citizenship to religion and festivals.

CBoth poleis defined virtue only as winning athletic games.

DBoth poleis linked citizenship to duties, but Athens emphasized lawful participation and public service, while Sparta emphasized disciplined training and obedience.

Solution & Explanation:Jury oaths and civic honors show Athens tying virtue to law and public contribution; agoge rules show Sparta tying virtue to disciplined training and obedience.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An Athenian assembly vote orders the execution of rebels, but the next day another vote reverses the decision after debate about justice.

Which democratic feature is best illustrated by this sequence?

AAthenian decisions were fixed by kings and could never change.

BOnly Sparta allowed any debate about policy.

CPopular decisions could be reconsidered through further deliberation, showing both volatility and self-correction in direct democracy.

DThe Assembly met only once a decade and could not vote twice.

Solution & Explanation:Two votes with reversal show that debate and persuasion could change outcomes, a hallmark—and risk—of direct democratic decision-making.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A long inscription lists choregoi (festival sponsors) and trierarchs (ship sponsors) for the same decade.

What is the best-supported interpretation of this combined list?

AThe list proves Athens had no navy and no theaters.

BOnly foreigners sponsored festivals and ships.

CAthenian citizenship included both cultural and military obligations, linking civic identity to funding public needs.

DSparta required choregoi to train the agoge.

Solution & Explanation:Choregoi and trierarchs were citizen-liturgists; listing them together shows civic duties spanning culture and defense.
