Summary/Abstract: A process of fundamental changes in society is characteristic for the gradual appearance of democracy. The most important change is the citizens' achievement of identity which is a precondition for Greek democracy. A weakened interest for politics on the part of the citizens undermines the democratic ideal. Direct democracy will be supplanted by representational democracy.
