Agamemnon ; Agora ; Arktos ; Assembly of citizens ; Athena ; Athens ; Aulos ; City council ; City-state ; Cleisthenes ; Cynegeirus ; Delphi ; Dionysus & Apollo ; Earth and water ; Eleleleu ; Go to the crows ; Gorgon ; Hero and Leander ; Hetaira ; Hipparchus ; Hippias ; Holy ones ; Isagoras ; Kleomenes ; Marathon ; Panathenaea ; Peisistratus ; Persian Empire ; Poet ; Sack of Troy ; Scythians ; Solon ; Sparta ; Ten Tribes ; Thersippus ; Treasuries ; Tyrant slayers.
Democracy opens in 490 B.C., with Athens at war. The hero of the story, Leander, is trying to rouse his comrades for the morrow's battle against a far mightier enemy, and begins to recount his own life, having borne direct witness to the evils of the old tyrannical regimes and to the emergence of a new political system. The tale that emerges is one of daring, danger, and big ideas, of the death of the gods and the tortuous birth of democracy. We see that democracy originated through a combination of chance and historical contingency--but also through the cunning, courage, and willful action of a group of remarkably talented and driven individuals--Amazon.
