Greece project

festivals
Athens had festivals every year for athletics, drama occasions.
All the city paid for these using taxes, but the richest citizens of Athens
offered to give more help.

Slaves
Some slaves were owned by the state, and it is very likely that wealthy homes have lots of slaves! Many slaves had special skills. Between 1/4 and a 1/3 of Athens 300,000 population were slaves.

Other things
Wealthy men hide there richness to get out of there public duties.
wealthy citizens paid the performers fees.
Athens is very rich.
