Where did "democracy" come from, and what is its original form and meaning? Here Josiah Ober shows that this "power of the people" crystallized in a revolutionary uprising by the ordinary citizens of Athens in 508-507 B.C.
He then examines the consequences of the development of direct democracy for upper- and lower-class citizens, for dissident Athenian intellectuals, and for those who were denied citizenship under the new regime (women, slaves, resident foreigners), as well as for the general development of Greek history.

"IT SEEMS only fair to state at the outset that this book, like most of the academic work I have undertaken in the last decade, has its part in a triple agenda: It is intended first to define an approach to understanding the past that might be called a "history of ideologies.""
