“In the Heart of the World’s First Democracy” deals with uncovering the evidence for a radical idea that revolutionized the world. The word democracy derives from two Greek words—demos and power—power to the people. John Papadopoulos, the Director of the Excavations in the Athenian Agora and Distinguished Professor of Archaeology & Classics, UCLA, talks about the political workings of this democracy, its triumphs and tribulations in the heart of Classical Athens some 2500 years ago.
