Not really. It _means_ rule by the people. It simply allows 
differentiation from a Monarchy (for example) whereby the people have no 
part in the ruling.

As understood by (modern) Greece, it is a statement of equality amongst 
citizens which goes beyond simple representation.

It does often equate to mob rule but that's not quite the same.
