Below are my notes ...
Next in line
- with hippias gone, Isagoras & Cleisthenes (both are aristocrats)
- Isagoras had support from fellow aristocrats, plus from sparta
- Cleisthenes had support of the majority of Athenians
Isagros Wins
- he ostracize Cleisthenes
- Cleisthenes' supporters & the ordinary Athenian Citizens - revolt against Isagros tyranny
- They trap Isagoras on the acropolis for two days - on the third day - he fled & was banished
- 508 BCE
Cleisthenes & Democracy
- Cleisthenes - definitely a member of the elite
- very rich
- insulated from the "hoi polloi"
- a crafty politician
