When Aristagoras left Sparta he hastened to Athens, which had got
quit of its tyrants in the way that I will now describe. After the
death of Hipparchus (the son of Pisistratus, and brother of the
tyrant Hippias), who, in spite of the clear warning he had received
concerning his fate in a dream, was slain by Harmodius and
Aristogeiton (men both of the race of the Gephyraeans), the
oppression of the Athenians continued by the space of four years; and
they gained nothing, but were worse used than before.
