Prostătes Tou Demou

（προστάτης τοῦ δήμου). In Athens and other democratic States of Greece, a word denoting the person who by his character and ability was generally regarded as the most influential statesman of the day. Such, for example, was Pericles in his time. (Xen. Mem. i. 2, 40.) In most of the Doric States it was also the title of public officers of various kinds.
