Today in class we took notes and Mr. Schick got a hair cut.. best of luck of speech and debate!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT hahaha. I hope we don't have another cyber day or else I might just cry. Anyway here's todays notes:
-After Hippias was gone, Cleisthenes (aristocrats) engaged in a power struggle
-Isagoras has support from some aristocrats plus from Sparta
-Cleisthenes had support of the majority of Athens
Who wins you are asking... CLEISTHENES TAKES HOME THE GOLD MEDAL!!!
-Cleisthenes supporters revolted against Isagoras tyranny and showed them who's boss!
-They trapped Isagoras on the Acropolis for 2-days and on the 3rd day he fled and then was banished
Do you love democracy?.. Will then 508 BCE is you favorite year!!!
Cleisthenes and Democracy:
-Member of elite
-Very rich
-Insulated from "hoi polloi"
-Crafty politician
Cleisthenes- Hippias-
