Let's see. Back in the days when Athens was just a little city, the rich and powerful took over for many, many years. Then a guy named Clysteines [I can't spell his name that well] seized power after the common people revolted. He devised a way of allowing the people to elect their own rulers: everyone would be allowed to vote [except for women and slaves, unfortunately] with a white pebble for yes and a black pebble for no. Later on, the Athenian economy was born when they began exporting olives and olive oil to other places, and the giant jars were made to hold all of the produce. The pot makers began decorating the pots and jars, and Greek art was born.
