民主政治不仅是希腊古典文化繁荣的保障,也是希腊古典文化的重要内涵,而雅典民主政治的主要权力机构都设在雅典城市,并以雅典城市为中心运作。雅典城市的公共空间阿格拉(agora)、公民大会会场、议事会厅、柱廊(stoa)、忒罗(tholos)、剧场、体育场等,是城邦民主政治的主要活动场所。雅典城市乃城邦民主政治的中心舞台。从这个意义上说,没有雅典城市,也就没有希腊的民主政治和古典文化的繁荣。 Democracy is not only the guarantee of the prosperity of Greek classical culture, but also the important connotation of Greek classical culture. The main powers of Athens’ democracy are located in the cities of Athens and centered on the cities of Athens. The agora, civic assembly hall, council hall, stoa, tholos, theaters, stadiums and other public spaces in the city of Athens are the main places for the polity of the city-states. The city of Athens is the central stage of the city’s democratic politics. In this sense, there is no Athens city, there is no Greek democratic politics and the prosperity of classical culture.
