		His rise is a variation on the conventional motif of the three brothers, the youngest (and weakest) of whom rises to be tyrant; Pisistratus is weaker than his rivals because he claims the men beyond the hills as his supporters, whereas they have the plain and coast.
		Megacles did take the final decision to break the partnership, but this is no 'laudable' reaction to insult, as Lavelle maintains.

	Herodotus, Kleisthenes of Sikyon/Sicyon, Greece
		From Athens there arrived Megacles, the son of that Alkmaeon who visited Croesus, and Tisander's son, Hippoclides, the wealthiest and handsomest of the Athenians.
		Megacles had likewise another son, called Hippocrates, whose children were a Megacles and an Agarista, the latter named after Agarista the daughter of Kleisthenes.
		She married Xanthippus, the son of Ariphron; and when she was with child by him had a dream, wherein she fancied that she was delivered of a lion; after which, within a few days, she bore Xanthippus a son, to wit, Pericles.

	[No title]
		It was during the archonship of Megacles (a scion of the great Alcmaeonic family, which boasted its descent from Nestor) that the aristocracy was menaced by the ambition of an aristocrat.
		The contests between the lowlanders and the coastmen were only more inflamed by the defeat of the third party, which had operated as a balance of power, and the broils of their several leaders were fed by personal ambition as by hereditary animosities.
		Megacles, therefore, unable to maintain equal ground with Lycurgus, turned his thoughts towards the enemy he had subdued, and sent proposals to Pisistratus, offering to unite their forces, and to support him in his pretensions to the tyranny, upon condition that the exiled chief should marry his daughter Coesyra.

		Pisistratus, having thus recovered the sovereignty, married, according to agreement, the daughter of Megacles.

		Megacles, indignant at receiving an affront from such a quarter, in his anger instantly made up his differences with the opposite faction.

		His grandfather had ruled the city of Sicyon, won the Olympics as a chariot racer, and become famous all over Greece for the year long competition he held for suitors seeking to marry his daughter.
		The eventual winner of the contest was an Athenian nobleman called Megacles - the younger Cleisthenes' father - but all the other participants received generous consolation prizes.
		Megacles became one of Athens' most important statesmen and would have brought up his son to embrace the traditional heroic virtues embodied in the works of Homer.

		This Pisistratus, at a time when there was civil contention in Attica between the party of the Sea-coast headed by Megacles the son of Alcmaeon, and that of the Plain headed by Lycurgus, one of the Aristolaids, formed the project of making himself tyrant, and with this view created a third party.
		No sooner, however, was he departed than the factions which had driven him out quarrelled anew, and at last Megacles, wearied with the struggle, sent a herald to Pisistratus, with an offer to re-establish him on the throne if he would marry his daughter.
		Megacles, indignant at receiving an affront from such a quarter, in his anger instantly made up his differences with the opposite faction, on which Pisistratus, aware of what was planning against him, took himself out of the country.

		But as he already had young sons, and as the Alcmeonid family were said to be under a curse, he had no wish that his newly-wedded wife bear him children, and therefore his intercourse with her was 'not according to custom' (ou kata nomon).
		Megacles was very angry to be dishonored by Pisistratus; and in his anger he patched up his quarrel with the other faction.
		Pisistratus, learning what was going on, went alone away from the country altogether, and came to Eretria (on the nearby island of Euboea) where he deliberated with his sons.

		As a practical matter, then, since there seems to be more disagreement about moves for Leonatus then there is for Megacles, I'm going with activating Megacles, and hope to see more agreement in the next vote on what to do with Leonatus.
