	Cleon I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arguably, the most significant event of Cleon's rule occurred in 12,020 GE, when the young mathematician Hari Seldon came to Trantor and revealed that psychohistory was a theoretical possibility.
		Cleon would never have learned of this development by his own efforts; insulated from the Galaxy and confined to the Imperial Palace's grounds, he relied upon his able Chief of Staff, Eto Demerzel, to conduct the Machiavellian maneuvers required to keep the Empire functioning.
		While Cleon was content to use Seldon as a source of self-fulfilling prophecies—a tool to prevent unrest—Demerzel had come to believe that the Empire itself was dying, and that only an honest investigation could prevent its fall or at least minimize that fall's effects.

		In 427 Cleon gained an evil notoriety by his proposal to put to death indiscriminately all the inhabitants of Mytilene, which had put itself at the head of a revolt.
		It was almost certainly due to Cleon that the tribute of the "allies" was doubled in 425.
		The poet had a grudge against Cleon, who had accused him before the senate of having ridiculed (in his Babylonians) the policy and institutions of his country in the presence of foreigners and at the time of a great national war.

		Pericles was accused by Cleon of maladministration of public money, with the result that he was actually found guilty (see Grotes Hist.
		It was mainly through him that the opportunity of concluding an honorable peace (in 425) was lost, and in his determination to see Sparta humbled he misled the people as to the extent of the resources of the state, and dazzled them by promises of future benefits.
		It is therefore likely that Cleon has had less than justice done to him in the portraits handed down by these two writers.

	Cleon in Wasps and Knights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Cleon had a vested interest in the war continuing; so long as it continued no one would know what he was doing - even though he was filling his coffers (1218) at the expense of the people of Athens - as a moment's reflection would have revealed.
		Cleon attempts (successfully, suggests Aristophanes) to avert suspicion by his "gifts", but these are small slices (1220) of big cakes (1219).
		The trial of the dogs is pointed at Cleon, and he suggests that he is fiercely protective of his reputation as a general, inferring that the failure of Laches/Labes to produce a military victory was evidence of bribery by the enemy (236 and 895) and that he has bought the verdict beforehand.

	Rhetoric Society Quarterly: Reclaiming Rhetorical Democracy: George Grote's Defense of Cleon and the Athenian Demagogues
		His defense of Cleon-and more broadly, his defense of rhetorical democracy-helped to challenge the ascendancy of rhetoric as belles lettres and to stimulate the modern revival of Athenian popular rhetoric.
		Cleon's expressions of political dissent opened space for public deliberation and for rational consideration of alternative modes of thought and conduct.
		Historians of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries identified the Athenian addiction to popular rhetoric and to demagogucry as a principal cause of all that was sinister in democratic government.

		CLEON The purpose of this is that Demos may rule over all the Greeks; for the oracles predict that, if he is patient, he must one day sit as judge in Arcadia at five obols per day.
		CLEON No, my brave friends, no, you are running too fast; I have done a sufficiently brilliant deed to shut the mouth of all enemies, so long as one of the bucklers of Pylos remains.
		CLEON Do not believe it; these are but jealous crows, that caw against me; but never cease to cherish your good hawk; never forget that he brought you those Lacedaemonian fish, loaded with chains.

		In 425, he reached the summit of his fame by capturing and transporting to Athens the Spartans who had been blockaded at the Battle of Sphacteria.
		Much of the credit was probably due to the military skill of his colleague Demosthenes (not the orator); but it must be admitted that it was due to Cleon's determination that the Ecclesia sent out the additional force which was needed.

	The Baldwin Project: Ten Boys Who Lived on the Road from Long Ago to Now by Jane Andrews
		Cleon is even earlier than usual this morning: for Glaucon—a boy two or three years older than himself—is still busy washing the benches with a great sponge, while Lysias grinds the ink for the parchment writing and waxes the tablets.
		Cleon is glad to be at home before this feast-day, for he likes to see the guests in their rich dresses, with golden grasshoppers fastening the heavy curls on their foreheads, to hear the music, and perhaps to get a taste of the fruits left from their tables.
		Cleon goes through the court- [80] yard, passes between the tall pillars of the colonnade to his little bedroom, and falls quickly asleep on his bed, which is hardly more than a hard bench.

	Cleon, God of Giant Pumpkins by Brent Richey (svrichb)
		Cleon knew that since his brother had been made god of lightning then he would surely be made god of thunder.
		Cleon questioned Zeus and was told that because he was the favorite son and because Zeus had a particular interest in giant pumpkins that Cleon would be god of giant pumpkins.
		I asked why Cleon appeared to be so hideous and the man told me it was because at first Cleon did not accept his role as god of pumpkins as an honor, and was cursed by Zeus.

	The Knights
		Its object was nothing less than the ruin of Cleon, who, after Pericles, stood at the head of all State affairs, who was a promoter of the war, a worthless, vulgar demagogue, but the idol of the infatuated people.
		He had the prudence nowhere to name Cleon, but merely to describe him so that he could not be mistaken.
		Perhaps it might be that the thought of the actual danger in which he stood gave the poet a more earnest tone than was suitable to a comedian, or that the persecution which he had already undergone from Cleon provoked him to utter his wrath in a manner too serious for comedy.

	Notes on Aristophanes' Wasps
		At this point Cleon was at the height of his power as the demagogic leader of the 'popular' party, and there is some indication he was using the courts as a way of attacking opponents.
		They discuss their dreams, which clearly have political overtones, as seen in the reference to Cleonymus, who apparently ran away in a number of battles (bottom, page 58 col. 1), and to Xanthias' interpretation of a dream, which suggests that the politicians are despoiling the Athenian people.
		At the time of this play Cleon (who was from Cydathenaion) had prosecuted a certain Laches for an act of theft while he was holding some military position in Sicily.
