4. Read the excerpt from the “Greek Governments” informational reading:

Athens is known as the first recorded instance of democratic rule, but the city-state was not born a democracy. When Homer composed the Iliad and Odyssey around the eighth century B.C., Athens was just beginning. Like other Greek city-states, it was an oligarchy where the wealthiest and most powerful citizens ruled by committee with little regard for the poor and enslaved. Wealth was equated with political power and land ownership. These tyrants set high taxes and punished the poor harshly when they could not pay. Though the city-state would not thrive agriculturally with poor soil, its proximity to the Aegean Sea led to economic growth through trade.

Which words are most helpful in understanding the concept of an oligarchy in this excerpt?

1.	recorded; born; Athens
2.	wealthiest; most powerful; ruled
3.	composed; Homer; tyrants
4.	Aegean Sea; thrive; century
