Greece Democracy

Today in Honors Western Civilization we continued on the forty six slide Google Slides and continued to take notes in our book. Before I forget, IN 508 BCE DEMOCRACY WAS CREATED IN ANCIENT GREECE. Now, here are some notes that I took in class today:
-Hippians was a tyrant who ruled from 527 to 510 BCE
-his brother was murdered, and his rule became harsh
-eventually he was exspelled from Athens
-in revenge, he began working with the Persian King Darius I, helping them invade Marathon
-with Hippias gone, Isagoras and Cleisthenes took control
-Isagoras had support from some fellow aristocrats, plus from Sparta
-Cleisthenes had support of the majority of Athenians
-Isagoras becomes archon eponymous
-he ostracizes Cleisthenes
-Cleisthenes' supporters and Athenian citizens revolt against Isagoras
-they trap Isagoras on the acropolis for two days-on the third day he fled and was banished
-Cleisthenes- definately a member of the elite
      -very rich
      -crafty politician
-saw the value of tapping into the talents, intelligence, and energies of the non-aristocrats
-too bad he didn't realize the value
