The government of ancient Athens was  a direct democracy.

Explanation:

The central events of Athenian democracy were the meetings of the Assembly. Unlike in a Parliament, the members were not elected, but were citizens who could attend whenever they wanted.

The officials of the democracy were partly elected by the Assembly and partly by lot.
