The author seems to regret the passing of the Greek spirit, but he beautifies the life of the Greek city-states. In fact, Greek democracy is a one-sided democracy. Women, foreigners, children and slaves cannot have citizenship, so all decision-making power is in the hands of only a small number of people, who will never consider the interests of others. And they stuck to themselves and confined themselves to a small piece of land in the city, which would eventually be eliminated by the trend of history.
