Clisthenes

/ ˈklaɪsθəˌniːz /

noun

An oracle of this nature was perhaps more effectual than the sword of Clisthenes in preventing future assaults on the divine city!

Clisthenes, with the families expelled by Cleomenes, was recalled, and the republic of Athens was thus happily re-established.

It will be remembered that the Athenians were divided into ten tribes at the instigation of Clisthenes.
