Abstract [eng] The article discusses the genesis of the political by treating this phenomena as a distinctive interaction between political and religious factors. The aim is to carry out the reconstruction of the premises of the political of ancient greeks, by distinguishing its particular historic development features, exclusively characteristic for Ancient Greece context. The rites of passage of greek social communities are analysed, in order to understand why its youth initiation structure, formed in Greek Dark Ages, became the basic model for Western Civilisation. The role of youth groups, phenomena of greek heroes, the educational structure of young soldier class (ephebeia) and the first ever political revolution, initiated by Lycurgus, are examined by reconstructing the genealogy of the political.
