The role of elites vis-a-vis the mass public in the construction and successful functioning of democracy has been a subject of central interest to political theorists. This book explores this theme in Thucydides' famous history of the Peloponnesian War as a way of rendering our thoughts about this relationship in our own modern democracy.
