What did "demos" really mean to the Athenians? Why were women such a crucial part of Athenian democracy? And who was the Tom Wamsgams of Athens? Join Tom and Dominic as they explore whether Athenian democracy really was the precursor to modern day democracy, or whether it was something entirely different.

The Athenian was infinitely weird, yet monumentally fantastic.
I literally love you both. ❤

Sounds like Cleisthenes invented constituencies & redistricting!

Dear Mr Holland,

This excellent episode on Athenian democracy was released, I suspect intentionally, just one day after the national elections in Greece. I would like to draw your attention to one particular aspect of the results of those elections. Specifically, in most regions of the north (Macedonia and Thrace), two political parties that focused their campaign on the matter of the Prespes agreement were voted with a percentage higher than double that which they received on average nationwide (around 8% and 5%). It is evident therefore, regardless of the seriousness of those parties, that the people of northern Greece consider this an important issue. With this fact as a motive, I would like to ask you to explain the statement you made in episode 116 on Alexander the Great, namely that "the argument over Alexander is insane, because he does not belong to either". As the aforementioned statistics prove, it carries such cultural and historical significance that it can not be left unjustified.

Thank you
