Hippias-
- a tyrant who ruled from 527-510 BCE
- his brother was murdered and his rule became harsh
- was eventually ostracized from Athens
- revenge- he began working with the Persian King Darius l, helping him invade Marathon
With Hippias gone, Isagoras and Cleisthenes were battling to be next in charge
Isagoras- had the support of the aristocrats and Sparta
Cleisthenes- had the support of the common people (the majority of Athens)
Isagoras-
- wins and becomes a tyrant
- ostracized Cleisthenes
- Cleisthenes' supporters revolted
- supporters trapped Isagoras for 2 days
- on the 3rd day, he escaped and was banished
