Abstract
In this response some questions concerning Demetrius of Phalerum’s ten-year rule at Athens (317-307 BC) are examined with regard to his institutional position, to the character of his regime and to the nature and scope of his legislation. Continuity with political and social issues already in the agenda of «Lycurgan» Athens and the «practical» nature of his reforms are underlined. It is concluded that Demetrius’ claim to have "corrected" Athenian democracy was not too far off the mark.
