The issue of this marriage was the Clisthenes named after his grandfather the Sicyonian - who made the tribes at Athens, and set up the popular government. Megacles had likewise another son, called Hippocrates, whose children were a Megacles and an Agarista, the latter named after Agarista the daughter of Clisthenes.
