| Summary: | Through a thorough examination of the aspects associated with Athenian Democracy, the present paper aims at highlighting the motives as well as the consequences of the reforms of Eubulos from the deme Probalinthos, mainly regarding the theoric fund, and of Lycurgus from the deme Boutadai. The Athenian citizens, after 338 BCE, experience a new promising era for their state under Lycurgus as <em>ὁ </em><em>ἐπί τῇ διοικήσει τῶν χρημάτων </em>(<em>in charge of the financial administration</em>), who, through his extensive building policy in Attica, revives the political and military morale of the Athenian citizens, preparing them to defend once more the Greeks’ autonomy -by opposing the Macedonians, who were conceived as barbarians, and to reclaim consequently their lost hegemony in the Greek world. <br /><div><br clear="all" /><hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /></div>
