- when Hippias left, Isagoras and Cleisthenes (both aristocrats) engaged in a power struggle
- Isagoras had support from aristocrats and Sparta
- Cleisthenes had support from most of Athens
- Isagoras became tyrant
- he ostracizes Cleisthenes
- Cleisthenes's supporters and Athenian citizens revolted against Isagoras's tyranny
- they trapped Isagoras on the acropolis for two days- on the third day he fled and was banished
Cleisthenes and Democracy
- Cleisthenes was a member of the elite
- very rich
- insulated from the "hoi polloi"
- a crafty politician
And we started to watch the video that we will watch when Mr. Schick is away.
