Direct democracy can give us a new perspective on the characteristics of the form that the elective republics of today cannot. Athenian dem. is often separated into ‘radical’ and ‘moderate’ periods by scholars, but I am not convinced that such a break exists. Conclusions. Athens said to have a break in 404/403 BC. Athenian democracy was changed institutionally, but its spirit remained. Secondary sources must be consulted.en-USThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
