"Birthplace of Democracy" (6)
I believe the answer is:
athens
'birthplace of democracy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for athens that I've seen before include "Hasten to the Hellenic city" , "Capital of Greece" , "Greek capital" , "Hen sat down in the city" , "6 capital" .)
