The classical Athenian democracy

The Greeks had a word for it, and the word was demokratia, a compund of demos (the people) and kratos(power or rule). But it is significant that this first occurrence of the word in surviving Greek literature is in Herodtotus' History, which he was writing during the third quarter of the fifth century BC.

  • "This critical study, designed for the modern reader, explains what the institutions of the classical Athenian democracy were, how they worked, and on what assumptions they were founded. Incorporating important recent work by historians, epigraphists, and archaeologists, Stockton traces the broad development of the Athenian constitution from the reforms of Solon in the early sixth century to those of Ephialtes in the late 460s B.C., carefully examining the fully-developed democratic system of the post-Ephialtic period. Stockton translates all Greek terms and explains difficult essays making the volume highly accessible to students of ancient and modern history, and to the general reader. -- Publishers description."
