grbs-841	Hansen, Mogens Herman	Thucydides’ Description of Democracy (2.37.1) and the EU-Convention of 2003	2008	12	.pdf	application/pdf	4873	219	66	Canfora repeats the old orthodoxy14 that democracy originally was a pejorative term, coined by those who disliked this form of government: “Democracy was the term opponents of government ‘by the people’ used to describe such government, precisely with the aim of highlighting its violent character (kratos denotes exactly the violent exercise of power)” (Democracy 8). Therefore I find it appropriate to take issue with his interpretation of Perikles’ speech and his understand- ing of Athenian democracy.	cache/grbs-841.pdf	txt/grbs-841.txt
