The paper examines the application of the category of ‘populism’ to Athenian democracy. Unlike previous works on the subject, which have focused on the fifth century, it studies the fourth, where the tradition is much better, since we can refer to contemporary public speeches. It shows that, despite some parallels on the lexical level, 'populist’ strategies matching the criteria of modern political science cannot be identified in Athenian political communication and interprets this result in its historical context.
