DEMOCRACY

Isagoras becomes archon eponymous (tyrant)
He ostracizes Cleisthenes
Cleisthenes’ supporters - and the ordinary Athenian citizens- revolt against Isagoras tyranny
they trap Isagoras on the acropolis for two days - on the third day he fled and was banished
508 BCE
Cleisthenes - definitely a member of the elite
very rich
insulated from the “hoi polloi”
crafty politician
