Pericles Strengthens Democracy

class

poor could afford to hold office

Delian League• To protect themselves,
Greek city-states formed the Delian League– Mutual protection
group had center, treasury on island of Delos
– Pericles used League money to build navy of at least 300 warships

Athens Dominates the Delian League
• Athens had a superior navy and control of the Delian League– Moved League treasury to Athens in
454 B.C.E.
– This move strengthened Athens
• Other city-states eventually became part of Athenian empire
