	Wikipedia: Herodotus
		Herodotus mentions an interview with an informant in Sparta, and almost certainly he lived for a period in Athens.
		In Athens, he tapped the oral traditions of the prominent families, in particular the Alkmaeonidai, to which Pericles belonged on his maternal side.
		But the Athenians did not accept foreigners as citizens, and when Athens sponsored the colony of Thurii in the instep of Italy in 444 BC, Herodotus became a colonist.

		After this it began to come about that the tyranny was much harsher; for Hippias' numerous executions and sentences of exile in revenge for his brother led to his being suspicious of everybody and embittered.
		One of the leading families in exile, the Alkmaeonidai, made several attempts to dislodge the tyrants.
		Indeed, in my judgement it was the Alkmaeonidai much more than Harmodios and Aristogeiton who liberated Athens; for the latter two by their murder of Fhpparchos merely exasperated the remaining members of the clan, without in any way checking their despotism, while the Alkmaeonidai did, in plain fact, actually bring about the liberation.

		It was only after some thirteen or fourteen years that the opposing factions to the Peisistratids became so obviously powerful as to necessitate the repressive actions of Hippias.
		It would be the action of the tyrannicides that would strip the mask of benevolence from the Peisistratids and spur such families as the Alkmaeonidai to action.
		Until that time, we could postulate an attempt was made by the Peisistratids to use subtler methods of coercion to ensure the protection of their interests in Attica.
