beccaelizabethI vaguely wondered, so I went and looked. Wiki (yes, I know) reckons around the time the plays were made the polis of Athens had a population of 250,000 and 30,000 of them could vote.
... being allowed to vote now is A Good Thing.
All those Names we study now came out of that 30,000?
The college I'm studying at right now has 'Around 16,000 enrolments each year'. UEA where I study sometimes and use the library has 'Nearly 15,000 students - over 11,000 undergraduates and more than 3,000 postgraduates'. So between them they've got as many people as there were voters in Athens.
The Facts and figures page tells you some of the associated Names.
And Norwich, the city we're associated with? "The population of the Norwich Travel to Work Area i.e. the area of Norwich in which most people both live and work, is 367,035. 121,600 people live in the Norwich City Council area."
Scale is weird.
