Today in Western Civilization we continued to go over the video. This video is really eye-opening. It's must have been a big step Clisthenes to overpower Athens. What an achievement, but yet what a very scary thing to do. What if people over-threw you or you got in trouble? Well. He did! Another aristocrat banished him and all of the other aristocrats and made a deal with Sparta. Athens was actually under Sparta's rule for awhile! But no fear! The common people are here. They rebelled and ended up defeating that awful tyrant and re-invited Clisthenes to stay with them! How wonderful to be brought back to his people - and by great demand too! What a fairy-tale ending, I must say.
