How did the first democracy die?
PJ Vogt
So Thucydides is going to be our primary source for this story. And he really was there. He watched the first democracy rise and fall. Chapter one, Athens. When the story begins, around 650 BC, Greece is a series of city-states. Athens was a typical one. The city itself, very small, maybe 10 or 20,000 people live there.
