Actually the funny bit with “Democracy” in Ancient Athens it that it was only men and only citizens (so, not slaves), a group which wasn’t even “most members of their community”, much less all of them.
I bet whatever tribes that did it well before Athens were a lot more “Democratic”.

I guess any ruling class considers itself democratic, since everyone that doesnt get a say are also not considered actual people.
