Draconian= very harsh

Hippias was a tyrant who ruled from around 527-510 BCE. his brother was murderd and he was afraid  so his rules started to become very harsh. Eventually he was expelled from Athens (Ostracized) In revenge he works with the Persian king- Darius l, helping invade Marathon which is a city. Persians were in Asia Minor. When hippies left, igsngoras+ cleisthenes (both aristocrats)got into a power struggle. Isgnoras had support from fellow aristocrats, plus Sparta,he had the rich majority. Cleisthenes had support of a majority of Athens. Isagoras wins but not for long.- he becomes archon eponymous- tyrant. He ostracizes cleisthenes, who supports the ordianinry athenian people who revolt against isagorus tyranny. They had him trapped for 2 days on the polis and on the 3rd day hefted and was banished Cleistheneshas power and its the start of democracy -  508  BCE.  Cleisthenes- definitely a member of the elite, very rich, insulted the "hot polo" and he was acraftyv  politician. He's ays the value of tappings into talents, intelligence and denies of non aristocrats/middleclass. He didn't value women
