One of them is ὄχλος, a concept born in the 5th Century B.C. which is used repeatedly by Thucydides as a biased synonym for δῆμος. From the analysis of some of the eighteen mentions of the term ὄχλος in his work, it is possible to reaffirm the powerful political effect of this concept in order to demonstrate, once again, the strong anti-democratic component in his work. En griego antiguo existen al menos cinco términos que definen la masa, la muchedumbre y la multitud. Uno de ellos es ὄχλος, concepto nacido en el siglo V a.C. el cual es utilizado de manera reiterativa por Tucí­dides como un tendencioso sinónimo de δῆμος. A partir del análisis de algunas de las dieciocho menciones al término ὄχλος en su obra, es posible reafirmar el poderoso efecto polí­tico de este concepto con el fin de demostrar, una vez más, el fuerte componente antidemocrático en su obra.   2020-12-01 2022-03-16T18:11:09Z 2022-03-16T18:11:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe081 10.24215/1851779Xe081 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/28020 spa https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe081/13246 https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe081/13322 https://www.synthesis.fahce.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/SYNe081/13306 Derechos de autor 2020 Paulo Donoso Johnson text/html application/pdf application/epub+zip Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
