What is athens' partial recovery?Show answer
Athens recovered more quickly than its enemies expected. In the archonship of Eucleides (403/402 BC) the laws were revised and republished and the Ionic alphabet was formally adopted, giving the restored democracy a settled legal basis. Thrasybulus tried to reward the metics and foreigners who had fought for the democracy with citizenship, but the proposal was cut back on legal challenge, a sign of the restored democracy's caution. Within a decade Athens had rebuilt the Long Walls (with Persian help, from 395/394 BC) and returned to an active foreign policy.
What are no dates, no sources, no historians?Show answer
An answer that never anchors 404, 403 and 399 BC, never cites Xenophon, Lysias, the Athenian Constitution or Plato, and never names a modern historian cannot reach the top bands.
