  Thrasybulus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
388 BC) was an Athenian general and one of the key leaders of the democracy against the oligarchy during and after the Peloponnesian War.
The navy employed mostly poorer citizens and included many of the most ardent supporters of the democracy, and under Thrasybulus and Thrasyllus these declared their opposition to the revolutionaries, believing themselves to be in as good a position as the men of the city.
In 389 BC, Thrasybulus was sent out with 40 ships, ultimately to help Rhodes maintain her independence but first to levy money from her allies and to plunder when they could not receive it.
