A Greek word originally meaning a group of people living together, i.e. a clan. It can also mean a village community, a citizen's assembly, the common people as opposed to the nobility, an administrative district as a subdivision of the polis, or even the state itself. The first personification of the demos as the people constituting the Athenian assembly is said to be the character Demos in Aristophanes's The Rider (performed in 424 BC), and from the second half of the 4th century BC onwards it was often depicted in sculptures and reliefs as a symbol of democracy.
