In Xanadu did Qublai Qhan
a stately taco eat,
when ALF the spacerat,
ran through to talk--
Of cabbages and kings
And whether pigs have wings.

Since the founders generally had a classical education they were undoubtedly aware of the Greek example, but I doubt that they would have found it highly convincing by itself. I think that it's much more likely that they were influenced against democracy by antipathy towards populism which is at the core of the philosophy of democracy but is by no means unique to democracy. Basically the founding fathers were aware that poor people tend to be stupid and religious and that such people are easy to manipulate.
