Cleisthenes and Isagoras

Hippias was a tyrant who ruled from 527 - 510 BCE. When his brother was murdered he became a very harsh ruler. He was eventually ostracized from Athens. After that, Isagoras took over. He ostarcised his competition, Cleisthenes. Cleisthenes and his supporters trapped Isagoras on the acropolis for 2 days then he finally left and was banished. This happened in 508 BCE.
