Thus ended the affair of the suitors; and thus the Alcmaeonidae came
to be famous throughout the whole of Greece. 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. She married Xanthippus, the
son of Ariphron; and when she was with child by him had a dream,
wherein she fancied that she was delivered of a lion; after which,
within a few days, she bore Xanthippus a son, to wit, Pericles.
