= Athens in the 5th century B.C. was a city-state (//polis)// in mainland Greece. It did not have a ruler, but had a popular assembly. It had a direct democracy. Socrates was a member of one of these sub-councils in 406 B.C. The membership of the Council was renewed every year. The assembly met every nine days. = =The Parthenon=
