We are deluded into thinking that Greek democracy, which was direct democracy, is the same as our representative democracy.
Direct Democracy, Representative Democracy (Republic), Totalitarian Dictatorship, Monarchy, and a Theocracy (religious and political leader is the same person).
Polyarchy
Very little. Athens had a direct democracy, where the citizens met fortnightly and made decisions which the Council implemented. Today we have representative democracy where the people elect representatives to a parliament which makes the decisions on their behalf between elections.

representative
A government by popular consent or indirect democracy is a representative democracy in which a small group of people are chosen by election to represent a larger group that elects them.
A representative sample.
A democracy is a form of government where the people govern themselves. There are two different forms of democracy; a (direct)pure or indirect(representative) democracy. For example the United States is a Democracy or more specifically a Representative Democracy. This is where we vote for our representatives that will represent us in our government. Therefore the people do not handle the affairs of the government themselves but vote in representatives that hold their same ideas and values into government to be their voice in governmental issues. In a Indirect or Pure democracy all of the people must vote and have their voice in government. This type is only found in small governmental bodies as it would be illogical in the size of democracies we see today i.e., The United States.
