The greek city states did not fear democracy. They invented it.
Around 600B.C. before democracy was invented, the city-states had kings or nobles who run the affairs. When though, philosophers came up with the idea that the state would be run more effficiently with a type of government that included the people in decision-making, this was beyond any reason.
After 100 years though is was obvious to everyone that this new system of government, were the citizens of a town had power, was called Democracy (=demokratia), which is a made up-word of demos-state and kratw-hold/power. It would freely translate in English as: People (state) holds power.

Athens was the birthplace of democracy.
In Greek city-states, the idea of having an acropolis on top of a hill serving as a safe refuge or a religious temple, the idea of having an agora below the acropolis, having citizenship and having the citizens run the city-state developed in Greek city-states. Greek city-states also started using citizens as soldiers.
