| Sumario: | Participation in the Greek polis have been often related to the egalitarian potential that had its civic body. This article will consider a number of ambiguities regarding participation in the Greek city identified in the speeches of Isocrates and Demosthenes, both orators from opposite political positions, whose communications portrayed social asymmetries through segmented modalities and civic honours. The passage from a definition of democracy as opposite to oligarchic regimes to another one that assimilated it to civic regimes against personalized governments indicates to what extent participation in the Greek polis kept ambiguous relations with social asymmetries, being represented differently, although with some common links, in each orator. |
