	The Greeks - Isagoras Seizes Power (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Isagoras was appointed as 'archon', chief civil official, in 508 BC.
		Calling them 'The Accursed', the justification used by Isagoras and his allies was based on an ancient misdeed the clan had been responsible for.
		Isagoras' next target was one of the last vestiges of Solon's rule, the Council of Four Hundred; a sort of consultative assembly with little real power.

		It seems clear that he had fully considered his scheme in advance, that he broached it before the last attack of Isagoras, and that it was only after the final expulsion of Isagoras and his Spartan allies that it became possible for him to put it into execution.

	Clisthenes of Athens
		After the fall of the Tyranny, there was a struggle between Isagoras, the son of Teisander, who was a supporter of the tyrants, and Kleisthenes, who was of the family of the Alkmaionidai.
		The power of Isagoras waned in turn, and he called in Kleomenes again, for he had ties of friendship with him.
		At that time, as their leader, in the fourth year after the overthrow of the tyranny which was the Archonship of Isagoras, (2) he first divided all the citizens into ten tribes instead of the earlier four, with the aim of mixing them together so that more might share control of the state.

		Isagoras in his turn lost ground; and therefore, to counter-plot his enemy, he called in Cleomenes the Lacedaemonian, who had already, at the time when he was besieging the Pisistratidae, made a contract of friendship with him.
		This message he sent at the suggestion of Isagoras: for in the affair referred to, the blood-guiltiness lay on the Alcmaeonidae and their partisans, while he and his friends were quite clear of it.
		Here they were attacked by the rest of the Athenians, who took the side of the council, and were besieged for the space of two days: on the third day they accepted terms, being allowed- at least such of them as were Lacedaemonians- to quit the country.

		Isagoras and his party sought refuge on the Akropolis and surrendered on the third day.
		While it is not impossible that Kleisthenes and his collaborators recognized the need for more far-reaching measures and actually introduced legislation inaugurating reform even before the usurpation of Isagoras and the intervention of Kleomenes, this does not appear to be more than a possibility.

		He lost out to Isagoras at first, when Isagoras was elected eponymous archon for 508/7, but he carried his reforms thru the assembly anyways.
		Cleisthenes left Athens, Cleomenes came to Athens and demanded that the council of 400 be abolished and tried to put Isagoras in power.
		It was probably easier for him to carry thru his reforms at that point because Isagoras and his supporters had either fled or were in disrepute.

		This was the reason why [Kleisthenes] did not arrange them in twelve phylai, in order that he might not have to use the existing divisions, called trittyes (the four [Ionic] phylai contained twelve trittyes), with the result that the multitude (to plethos) would not have been mixed up.
		Having done that much, [Kleomenes] made a second attempt to dissolve the Boulé, and he attempted to entrust the archai to Isagoras and his three hundred followers.
		Kleomenes and Isagoras and his followers seized the Acropolis.

		After the overthrow of the tyranny, the rival leaders in the state were Isagoras son of Tisander, a partisan of the tyrants, and Cleisthenes, who belonged to the family of the Alcmeonidae.
		Thereupon Isagoras, finding himself left inferior in power, invited Cleomenes, who was united to him by ties of hospitality, to return to Athens, and persuaded him to 'drive out the pollution', a plea derived from the fact that the Alcmeonidae were suppposed to be under the curse of pollution.
		Having effected this, he next attempted to dissolve the Council, and to set up Isagoras and three hundred of his partisans as the supreme power in the state.
