Greece as a nation did not exist at the time; it is the city-state of Athens that is credited with first having astablished a form of 'rule by the people'. Said people existing only of the free-born male citizens; the place (and rights) of Athens' women at the time can best be compared to that of today's Afghan rural women.
The form Athens' democracy took was that of a number of mass meetings of usually 500 citizens. Many of those meetings were however carefully orchestrated by the city's powerful families, who also made sure that all the executive jobs were carefully kept by and distributed amongst their own family members.
