That it was a slaveholding society that denied even the most basic rights of citizenship to tens of thousands of people. Thucydides says more than 20,000 slaves fled from Athens to Sparta (its very name synonymous with harsh austerity) in a single decade: hardly a model society, then. It was democracy for some: in other words, not democratic at all.
