Of course they did, but they did not understand democracy or the sophisticated thinking of the ancient Greeks. I was using it as a sort of metaphor. Will Durant, who wrote: "The History of Civilization": "The persistent effort to subordinate fancy to reason is the dominate quality of the Greek mind. Ergo Greek literature is modern or rather contemporary, we find it hard to understand Dante or Milton, but Euripides and Thucydides are kin to us mentally and belong to our age. This is because though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason makes brothers of its lovers in all times and everywhere."
