Further Refinment of the topic

Hello,

After doing some preliminary reading and having a discussion with Mr Stewart, I have developed a working question:

To what extent are the criticisms that the Old Olgarck makes of Pariklean democracy valid?

This gives me room to work around the structure of democracy in ancient greece, while narrowing the scope of my question to focus on a single document. The to what extent part of the question will allow me draw a conclusion, as well as point out the positive and negative side of the question.
I have not developed any other questions as I think the scope of this question is good and has sparked my curiosity.
I would love to hear any feed back or ideas that you have!

  1. Oligarkh if you are using the Greek or Oligarch. Periklean or Periclean. We need to get these terms right from the start! The question will be a reasonable working one. from here you will need to look in depth at the nature of Periklean democracy before you can even start to look at the criticisms of the OO.
