Abstrakt
The present study explores the words which Xenophon utilizes to describe the decision-making bodies in 'Hellenica'. It demonstrates that both demos and polis may have referred to people’s assemblies of Greek states. Whereas demos is utilized for the assembly in the opening books of 'Hellenica', later it is polis that usually implies an action of the assembly. The change coincides with a switch of Xenophon’s focus from Athens and the Peloponnesian War to the wider Greek world (where one can observe a lot of cities with decree formulae with polis as a decision-making body). Acquaintance with such constitutional usage enabled Xenophon to highlight the contrast between good (polis) and bad (demos) regimes in the post-Peloponnesian War narrative.
