This book informs you with evidence and precise references to ancient texts about the historical truth surrounding the Ancient Greek democracy, particularly the Athenian one, which is so often glorified.

They lie to you, claiming that democracy was the ideal form of government. On the contrary, it was an inhumane regime that murdered, imprisoned, and exiled the best of the Greeks. It slaughtered young men, groups, and entire populations. It sold female and child slaves. It violated sacred places to kill. It executed with torture. It violently changed governments. It drove people from their homeland. It praised murderers and established family responsibility.

It condemned people to death by hemlock or starvation. It buried people alive! It burned books. It punished even the dead.
