Question

Which groups were considered citizens in ancient Greece. Select the three correct answers

Answer 1

In ancient Greece, the groups that were considered citizens typically included:

1. **Adult Male Landowners**: In most city-states, particularly Athens, only adult males who owned land were granted full citizenship rights.

2. **Athenians by Birth**: Individuals who were born to Athenian parents (both mother and father), particularly in Athens, were recognized as citizens.

3. **Members of the Demos**: This term refers to the common people in a city-state, particularly in democratic Athens, where citizens (free men who met the property requirements) could participate in political life.

Note that women, slaves, and foreigners (metics) were generally excluded from citizenship.
