Will We Have Another Cyber Day on the First Day of Spring?!

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
