Ancient Greek democracy was a direct democracy - those who had political rights could go to the assembly and speak or vote personally. Modern democracies are indirect or representative democracies - which means that citizens can have a say in the government through representatives that have been elected by them.
The other difference is that women did not have political rights in ancient times.

Nothing. We are talking about different historical periods, different societies and different institutions. In the ancient days there were kings and emperors, which the US do not have.
