Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Greek democracy created at Athens was direct, rather than representative: any adult male citizen over the age of 20 could take part, and it was a duty to do so. The officials of the democracy were in part elected by the Assembly and in large part chosen by lottery in a process called sortition.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Greeks pretty much invented modern mathematics, sculpture, philosophy, science and even medicine. And they used some of their new knowledge to make inventions like the water wheel, the alarm clock, the catapult and even, the vending machine!

Detailed explanation-3: -Politeia () is an ancient Greek word used in Greek political thought, especially that of Plato and Aristotle. Derived from the word polis ("city-state"), it has a range of meanings from “the rights of citizens” to a “form of government".

Detailed explanation-4: -Greeks never believed in democracy, as they never had faith in representative forms of government. Thus, their conception of government is symptomatic of the class-based authority-aristocracy. Thus, from the above points, it can be stated that Greeks have a great passion for reason, virtues and knowledge.
