In this first of a multi-part series set in the 500s BC, we dive deep into the nuts and bolts of early Athenian democracy. Join us as we explore how Cleisthenes' radical reorganization of the people—from 4 tribes to 10, from clans to geography—laid the groundwork for a political system that still echoes today.
This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.
