Show/Movie continued...

Today in class we continued watching the show we watched yesterday. Pisistratus died in 527 BC and this son Hippias took over. We already learned about Hippias. He was as good as a tyrant leader can be until his brother died and he turned into a psychopath on a path of revenge. Cleisthenes VS Hippias happened. Cleisthenes took over. The Olympics started in 776 BC. Everyone could enter and anyone could win. Cleithenes VS Isagoras. We already learned you this as well. Cleisthenes won in the end and was asked to come back from exile and create a new government. The agora was created along with the black and white stones used for voting ~ first step towards democracy. Anyone could be a "hero." The Persian Empire begins to rise and sees Athens as a threat. The ordered Persian army people to invade Greece immediately. That's all for today.
