	History of Ancient Corinth/Korinth
		The polemarchos Kypselos, supported by an Oracle of Delphi, took control of the city and he ruled thereafter for thirty years.
		His descendants made an offer at Olympia, the same chest which Kypselos was hidden by his mother, of cedar wood on which figures were made out of gold and ivory or engraved in the wood and they were representing mythological themes.
		Kypselos, who was one of the first tyrants, governed the city by favoring the lower classes and being harsh to aristocrats.

		Kypselos was the ruler of the city of Corinth in about 650 BC.
		Herodotus tells us that even before Kypselos was born, the Delphic Oracle had foretold that he would one day cause the rulers of Corinth a lot of trouble.
		When Kypselos grew up he did indeed cause trouble for the rulers of Corinth - he got rid of them and took over the city himself.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.7.18
		After all, Kypselos himself required neither bodyguard nor mercenaries, nor did he have to fear rivals once the Bacchiads were eliminated.
		Kypselos and his rule were basically aristocratic in nature: "Er führte das Leben eines hochangesehen Aristokraten" (177).
		Of the "highly esteemed" Kypselos, Herodotos says [6.92E] that "he drove many into exile, deprived many of their money, and very many indeed of their lives" and these, who must have been wealthy and/or politically powerful, do not appear to have been limited by Herodotos, as L. limits them (143), to Bacchiads.

		Kypselos, like many Greek tyrants, appealed to resentment of the arbitary rule of the traditional rulers.
		Though Kypselos was a one-man ruler in one sense, he had his allies and tools, and they at least felt that the government had been opened up.
		Kypselos put Corinth to rights, or said that he did, or would.

	Herodotus: Book 5: Terpsichore: 90
		Then when Kypselos had grown to manhood and was seeking divination, a two-edged answer was given him at Delphi, placing trust in which he made an attempt upon Corinth and obtained possession of it.
		Such was the oracle: and Kypselos when he became despot was a man of this character,--many of the Corinthians he drove into exile, many he deprived of their wealth, and very many more of their lives.
		Finally Periander the son of Kypselos made peace between the Athenians and the Mytilenians, for to him they referred the matter as arbitrator; and he made peace between them on the condition that each should continue to occupy that territory which they then possessed.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.10.21
		The oracles involving Kypselos of Corinth (Herodotos 5.92b.2-e.2) demonstrate that his tyranny's claimed initial object was to correct the injustice of the city's leaders, an object shared by other tyrants.
		Pheidon and Pittakos were war-leaders; Kypselos' rise may be connected with Pheidon's expansiveness towards Corinth, with the loss of Kerkyra or perhaps with ongoing hostilities with Megara; Theagenes became tyrant while Megara warred with Athens.
		Nikolaos' account of the rise of Kypselos shares other Athenian features, suggesting that these may have become generic in later works about tyrants a) in lieu of information about tyrannies elsewhere and b) in view of Athens' strongly anti-tyranny tradition.

	The chest of Kypselos
		It was in this chest that the tyrant of Corinth Kypselos, was hidden by his mother when the Bacchidae were trying to find him after his birth.
		But it cannot for a moment be admitted that the ancestor of Kypselos, a Corinthian, having the chest made as a possession for himself, of his own accord passed over all Corinthian story, and had carved on the chest foreign events which were not famous.
		The following interpretation suggested itself to me. Kypselos and his ancestors came originally from Gonussa above Sikyon, and one of their ancestors was Melas, the son of Antasus.

	Isthmian Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	[No title]
		Herodotos (5.92.2z) notes that Kypselos, olbios by prophecy, "finished the web of his life well." Unless he invented it, that information will have derived from--and so abided with--the Corinthians of the third quarter of the fifth century[[6]] (see below on Periander).
		5.92.a1-h5), could not have been invented any time up to their appearance in Herodotos.[[12]] 4) "An undiscriminating, arbitrary, and apparently senseless force" for McGlew (65), the olooitrochos that is Kypselos will, according to the Greek, fall precisely upon the "monarch-men," no others.
		As a rule, early Greek tyrants played critical roles in military affairs, facts repeatedly underscored in our sources.

		Secondary uses could include being a container for the deceased, a grave-marker, or, if broken, well-heads or chimney pots.
		Herodotus records that Kypselos, later tyrant of Corinth (and contemporary with this pithos), was hidden in one as a child to escape assassination.
		The decoration of the amphora-like handles, with parts cut away window-like ("fenestration") and the elegance of the proportions reflect the growing sophistication of the society that created it.

		For Herodotus, tyranny is above all a phenomenon of power, that an individual can possess.
