Omtale
Where did "democracy" come from, and what was its original form and meaning? The author shows that this "power of the people" crystallized in a revolutionary uprising by the ordinary citizens of Athens in 508-507 BC. He also examines the consequences of the development of direct democracy for dissident Athenian intellectuals.
