		This is not to dispute that the dominant Athenian ideology of tyranny was negative, but to recognize that a complete account of a culture must acknowledge the gap between ideology and practice, or rather, the co-existence of several competing ideologies.

		[An Athenian would not refer to a particular year as the Romans did (or as we do) by reference to some event in the past, but by naming the eponymous archon for the year in question.] [FN 1] In addition to their monopoly over the chief magistracies, the aristocracy controlled the *Council of the Areopagus.
		The archons oversaw the running of specific courts but, unlike a modern judge, did not make rulings or instruct the juries: their duties were solely administrative.
		The relatively late date of the office of eponymous archon is reflected in religious matters: the archon basileus had authority over all of the older religious festivals; festivals of relatively recent date, however, were under the jurisdiction of the eponymous archon.
