In this episode, we discuss the democratic machinations of Classical Athens in the mid-to-late 5th century BC; including the role that the Athenian statesman Perikles had on the radicalization of Athenian democracy, the magistracies, the Pynx and the ekklesia, the boule and prytaneis, the law courts and jury system, law and order, contemporary critiques of Athenian democracy, and the economics of running the democracy (through a system of public donations known as the liturgies)
