	Hippias (tyrant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hippias was one of the sons of Pisistratus, and was tyrant of Athens in the 6th century BC.
		Hippias succeeded Pisistratus in 527 BC, and in 525 BC he introduced a new system of coinage in Athens.
		Hippias had fled to Persia, and the Persians threatened to attack Athens if they did not accept Hippias; nevertheless the Athenians preferred to remain democratic despite the danger from Persia.

		He was the son of Anaxandrides, of the Agiad royal house, and his second wife, and the half-brother of Dorieus.
		Although Dorieus was the son of Anaxandrides' first wife and therefore had a better claim to the throne according to tradition, Cleomenes succeeded his father around 520 BC.
		He was unable to force Hippias to surrender, but the Spartans captured some of Hippias' relatives and took them hostage until he agreed to give up the city.

		For instance, Pisistratus was remembered for an episode (related by Aristotle but possibly fictional) in which he exempted a farmer from taxation because of the particular barrenness of his plot.

		Pallas became the father of fifty sons, collectively known as the Pallantidæ, who hoped to inherit the throne of Athens at the death of Ægeus, that they thought was childless, until Theseus, his son born and raised in Troezen, came back and was recognized by Ægeus.

		The barbarians were conducted to Marathon by Hippias, the son of Pisistratus, who the night before had seen a strange vision in his sleep.
		He dreamed of lying in his mother's arms, and conjectured the dream to mean that he would be restored to Athens, recover the power which he had lost, and afterwards live to a good old age in his native country.
		Now, as he was a man advanced in years, and the greater number of his teeth were loose, it so happened that one of them was driven out with the force of the cough, and fell down in to the sand.

	Miltiades
		When Miltiades, the son of Cimon, was born, the city of Athens was ruled by a tyrant named Pisistratus.
		Later traditions presented Miltiades as an opponent of the tyrant and his son Hippias, but this is probably not the whole truth, because we know from an inscription that he occupied the office of archont in 524/523, which suggests that he cooperated with the ruling family.
		His son Metiochus was captured and deported to Persia, where he seems to have married and lived happily ever after.

	The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the Wo by Edward Shepherd Creasy
		The Athenians, at this time, had recently expelled Hippias, the son of Pisistratus, the last of their tyrants.
		They were in the full glow of their newly-recovered liberty and equality; and the constitutional changes of Cleisthenes had inflamed their republican zeal to the utmost.
		The inaction of the Asiatic commanders during this interval appears strange at first sight; but Hippias was with them, and they and he were aware of their chance of a bloodless conquest through the machinations of his partisans among the Athenians.

		Then, while he continued to speak to them at great length, men whom he had appointed for the purpose collected the arms and locked them up in the chambers of the Theseum hard by, and came and made a signal to him that it was done.
		Incidentally, Pisistratus maintained a peaceful foreign policy, "probably because he dared not allow the Athenian citizenry to bear arms in a major war," according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.
		In other words, carrying arms during a parade was an activity of freemen in a democracy, not of the subjects of a tyrant.
