In ancient Athens, power was held primarily by its citizens, particularly during the height of its democratic period in the 5th century BCE. The Athenian democracy allowed male citizens to participate directly in decision-making through assemblies and councils. However, power was also influenced by prominent leaders, such as Pericles, who played significant roles in shaping policies and guiding the city-state. Women, slaves, and non-citizens were excluded from political participation, highlighting the limitations of Athenian democracy.

When was Athens in power?

Athens was technically a democracy so the people held power. But women had very little power so they had no vote therefore no influence. Generally Athens would have one main citizen who would drive his policies, working as a dictator but the people always had the power to take him out of power or exile him. An example of this is Pericle who was this main citizen, was taken out of power and then brought back into power later when everyone was scared about the plague and the invading Spartan forces. He was then later exiled to Persia.
