The Division of Labor in Ancient Greece
By Sidney George
Slaves in Greece
Slavery was very common in Ancient Greece. Slaves worked on farms, inside the house, and took care of kids. Slaves were not free and had no citizenship or rights. If you could not pay a debt,you would either be sold or auctioned off for slavery. Eventually a leader named Solon stopped this practice.
Woman in Greece
In Ancient Greece, woman had much less rights than men. They could not participate in politics and did not have a say in the government. A woman's job took place inside the house. Women spent their days taking care of children, watching over the slaves, sewing and weaving clothes for the family, cleaning the house, preparing the meals, and managing the families money. Women and girls were not allowed to be educated or go to school. Spartan women could practice sports and be educated. These rights shocked the people in Athens and the rest or Greece.
Men in Greece
Men had a lot more rights that women. They were expected to work outside. They could participate in politics and had a say in the government. Men could be farmers, merchants, artisans, politicians, or an aristocrat. Men could also be actors, entertainers, architects, construction workers, judges, fishermen, aliens, or authors.
The Division of Labor
In Ancient Greece, work was split up between men and woman. Their lives were very different. They had different rights, jobs, and responsibilities.
The woman had less rights and had no political power or citizenship. The men were allowed to vote and participate in politics.
