Question

How did the greeks play a role in introducing democracy to the world?

Answer 1

It's a false legend promoted by today's democratic governments.

In fact democracy in Ancient Greece wasn't how we know it today:

-It was only limited at the city of Athen

-Only adult rich men born in Athen with both the parents citizens of Athen could vote, in fact that was a minority

Most important
-People absolutely didn't like democracy, not who couldn't vote, they didn't care, but philosophers like Plato.
