Fish-eaters and the Cristal Coffin (?)

A new work is presented to me; it's about Oligarchy, defending it. The author was a very famous Greek historian (b.C.) called Herodutus. It was a little bit painful to read the text because it mainly defends that only the supposedly great men can rule their certain nation, which I thought outrage in my point of view. Clearly is the government of the few, for the few! To me it seems kind of selfish to keep the culture, the politics and the economy of the country to some men who think they are THE BEST.
So I made clear some counter-arguments to this thesis:
1. It's impossible to rule a country without people's support;
2. It isn't right to suppose that only a certain number of "the best men" aren't from the people and that they're the best to manage a country and it's PEOPLE;
3. Politicians should consider the minorities instead of benefiting the wealthy.

I could write some more counter-arguments, but I think that the ones I wrote are the most interesting to debate and the most important to make everyone's understand that Oligarchy is not a state of freedom or equality.
Sorry (once again) I missed the class of the debate.
