Passage A


[1-6] A great god is Ahuramazda, who created this earth, who created heaven, who created man,
who created happiness for man, who made Xerxes king, one king of many kings, commander of
many commanders.


[6-11] I am Xerxes, the great king, the king of kings, the king of all countries and many men, the
king in this great earth far and wide, the son of Darius, an Achaemenid.


[11-17] King Xerxes says: by the favour of Ahuramazda this Gate of All Nations I built. Much else
that is beautiful was built in this Persepolis, which I built and my father built. Whatever has been
built and seems beautiful - all that we built by the favour of Ahuramazda.


[17-20] King Xerxes says: may Ahuramazda preserve me, my kingdom, what has been built by me,
and what has been built by my father.

Section B
From Tyranny to Democracy, 546–483 BC

6
(a) Name the person who introduced social and economic reforms to Athens in 594 BC. [1]

(b) State two of the economic reforms undertaken by the Peisistratids in Athens. [2]

(c) Name the two families who were rivals for power in Athens in 510 BC. [2]


Passage B


First, he [Polycrates] divided the city into three parts, and gave a share in its governance to his
brothers, Pantagnotus and Syloson. After a short while, however, he had Pantagnotus killed, and
banished Syloson, the younger brother; thus, he made himself the ruler of all Samos. Subsequently,
he drew up a treaty with Amasis, the king of Egypt, and there was an exchange of gifts between the
two. Shortly after this, Polycrates’ power and reputation grew so much that he was famous in Ionia
and all across the Greek territories, because all of his military campaigns were successful. He had
150 triremes and 1,000 archers, and he plundered everywhere indiscriminately... He captured a
great many of the islands, and several mainland cities as well.
Herodotus, Histories 3.39



7 What can we learn from Passage B about Polycrates’ leadership of Samos? [5]


8 Using details from Passage B, how accurate do you think Herodotus’ account of these events is?
[5]


9 Explain the significance of Cleisthenes to the events that led to the removal of tyranny in Athens.
[10]


10* ‘The introduction of democracy in Athens only created problems for the Athenians.’
To what extent do you agree with this view?

You must use and analyse the ancient sources you have studied as well as supporting your
answer with your own knowledge. [20]
