In Athenian democracy, the decision - making by the citi- zens makes the demagogues should grasp the art of speech. Free speech which citizens share in Athenian democracy provodes free atmosphere for speech, which makes the prospersity of oratory possible. Under this circumstance, Sophists came into be- ing.
