  Cleon - LoveToKnow 1911
It was mainly through him that the opportunity of concluding an honourable 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.
The character of Cleon is represented by Aristophanes and Thucydides in an extremely unfavourable light.
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.

Born in 21, proclaimed emperor by the Moot in 53, abdicated in 54.
In point of fact, a recent study indicates that the term weak may be an unfair description of Cleon II.
Still vitally concerned with the welfare of his former realm, Cleon spent the rest of his long, active, colorful and, from all accounts, happy, life on the frontier as a self-appointed (and extremely effective) one-man fire brigade.

 Brasidas
Cleon knew that Brasidas was not to be underestimated, and patiently waited for reinforcements from Macedonia and Thrace, meanwhile organizing a base at Eïon and moving with his army to Amphipolis, which he wanted to see before he could start to besiege the city.
Both Brasidas and Cleon stood on the most dangerous positions: Brasidas led the attack from the southern gate of Amphipolis, whereas Cleon was on the unprotected wing of the Athenian army.
Cleon, on the other hand, was a democratic politician and might have followed the people's wish to look for a peace treaty, as he had done in 423, when the armistice had been concluded.

Hence II 65 sets the Sicilian expedition not only in the perspective of Athens' political weakness, of which more will be said presently, but also in that of her great initial strength which, as the burden of the first book, provides the basis of Pericles' confident prognosis (I 141.2-144).
Cleon (as is evident from the Mytilenean Debate) did not understand the true needs of the empire; he also enflamed, rather than checked, the people's dangerous desires.
Cleon, on the contrary, in the fear inspired by the revolt of Mytilene, fostered their inevitable mood of violence, and likewise after Pylos he played on their contrasting optimism, when (so Thucydides keeps repeating) pleÒnvn >>rdeg.gonto.

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.

II As soon as spring arrived, the Spartans, true to their promise, sent off forty triremes, commanded by Alcidas, to raise the siege of Mytilene, and marched in full force into Attica, thinking thus to divert the attention of the Athenians, and prevent them from interfering with the voyage of Alcidas.

Riose was a strong General under a strong Emperor, Cleon II (known as the Last Strong Emperor).
Cleon II himself was assassinated not more than five years after Riose's defeat, not by the Foundation, but by Cleon's rational actions.
Six more Emperors followed Cleon to the throne, Stannell VII being another strong Emperor, but even he could not swell the tide of barbarism sweeping toward Trantor, as even single planets broke away from the Empire, and raiders made new inroads into Imperial space every day.

 Aristophanes and His Comedies
On this point some confusion has arisen from an attempt of Cleon to deprive Aristophanes of his civic rights, on the ground of illegitimacy, in revenge for his frequent invectives.
He can denounce the frauds of Cleon, he can vindicate the duty of Athens to herself and to her allies with a stinging scorn and a force of patriotic indignation which make the poet almost forgotten in the citizen.
He can banter Euripides with an ingenuity of light mockery which makes it seem for the time as if the leading Aristophonic trait was the art of seeing all things from their prosaic side.

 SparkNotes: The Clouds: Act One: Parabasis of Scene 2–Scene 3
The picture the Chorus paints is of a long-suffering figure who has some vital, "new ideas" (I.ii.547) to present and who is standing by them in spite of persecution by "Cleon" (I.ii.574) or "plagiari[sm]" (I.ii.547).
This is considered a partial revision because "Cleon" (I.ii.547), the leading politician who had prosecuted Aristophanes for slandering Athens after the production of his earlier satire The Babylonians, had died in 422 BCE and it is unlikely that, after his death, such defensive comments would have been necessary.
The "parabasis" asserts that Aristophanes writes "modest" (I.ii.547) comedy that does not stoop to employ low or grotesque jokes or costumes, and scholars have suggested that these references are probably ironic and intended for a few guffaws.
