Greek governments and army's
Today in class we learned more about the different people that ruled Greece throughout its time. We learned about Hippias who was a tyrant from 527 through 510 BC, during his rule, his brother died. His brother was killed by the aristocrats who Hippias had thrown out, because of this he became a harsh ruler. When he was thrown out and ostracized he went to the Persians and helped them attack Athens as a way of revenge. After Hippias there was two men who wanted to be the ruler, Isagoras and Cliesthenes.Isagoras had the support of the other aristocrats and from Sparta, Cliesthenes had the support of the people in Athens. Isagoras had became ruler and ostracized Cliesthenes, when he did this the people of Athens revolted for the first time ever against their ruler.
