TYRANNY

Оглавление

Tensions continued until 546, when PEISISTRATUS SON OF HIPPOCRATES, after two failed attempts, seized Athens as tyrant (Hdt. 1.60–64; Fornara and Samons 1991, 151–57). He successfully restored order and maintained it until his death in 528/7, when his sons HIPPIAS and HIPPARCHUS succeeded him without difficulty (Hdt. 1.59; [Arist.] Ath. pol. 14–18; Thuc. 1.20, 6.54). The assassination of Hipparchus in 514 resulted in the increasingly erratic behavior of Hippias, which ultimately led the Athenians to expel him from the city with the help of the Spartan king CLEOMENES in 510 (Hdt. 5.62–65; Thuc. 6.59; [Arist.] Ath. pol. 19.4). Hippias fled to SIGEIUM at the southern tip of the HELLESPONT, where his half‐brother HEGESISTRATUS ruled as tyrant (Hdt. 5.94).
