Before the sixteenth century, the term «to govern», says Foucault, never has refered to goverment of a State, a territory, or a political structure. The term «to govern» always has been refered to goverment of people, persons or collectivities. The relation that God, king or leader founded with his people was in the same way as shepherd founded with his flock. In keeping with Foucault, neither in Greek culture nor in Latin culture we can find this relation. It would be proper of pre-Christian and Christian Orient. Howsoever, in this paper we show that is possible to trace this relation in Homer, Plato and Vergil.
