Lane fox makes some oddly anachronistic points when describing athenian political life; while fourth century bc athens is the earliest known functioning democracy, with the vote of citizens the ultimate and only stamp of sovereignty, he still makes the point that athens was a slave owning society and that slaves, women and foreigners, however long resident, didn't have the vote.
