Greece

  • Hippeus helped Athens take a huge step back, his brother was killed and he went paranoid and started torturing people
  • Cleisthenes over took Hippeus
  • 40,000 people would attend the Olympics
  • All MEN could compete in the Olympics
  • Isagoris conspired against Cleisthenes and believed power was his right as an Aristocrat
  • Isagoris shared his wife with a Spartan king as a bargain for help
  • First time in human history that regular people rose up against their leader
  • Regular Athenians beat Spartans and re-took power
  • Cleisthenes invented Democracy
  • Pheidippedes
