TERPSICHORE. 191

neans he made the Sicyonians extremely ridiculous,
'le distinguished the other tribes by the words Hys
ind Onos, superadding only their respective termina-
ions: to his own tribe he prefixed the word Arche,
sxpressive of authority ; those of his own tribe were
therefore termed Archelaens; of the others, some were
called Hyat83, some Oneatrc, others Chterteatte. The
Sicyonians were known by these appellations during
the time of Clisthenes, and for sixty years afterwards.
After this period, in consequence of a consultation
held among themselves, they changed these names to
Hylleans, Pamphylians, and Dymanatte. To these
they added a fourth tribe, which in honour of ./Egia-
leus, son of Adrastus, they called jEgialeans.

LXIX. Such was the conduct of Clisthenes of Si-
cyon. The Clisthenes of Athens, grandson of the
former by a daughter, and named after him, was, as it
appears to me, desirous of imitating him from whom
he was called. To show his contempt of the Ionians, he
would not suffer the tribes of Athens to bear any re­
semblance to those of Ionia. Having conciliated his
countrymen, who had before been averse to him, he
changed the names of the tribes, and increased their
number. Instead of four phylarchi he made ten, into
which number of tribes he also divided the people; by
which means he so conciliated their favour, that he
obtained a decided superiority over his opponents.

LXX. Isagoras, though overcome, endeavoured to
recover his importance; he accordingly applied to
Cleomenes the Spartan, with whom he had formed
the tie of hospitality whilst he was besieging the
Pisistratidte, and who had been suspected of an im­
proper connexion with Isagoras's wife. The Lacedte­
monian prince, sending a herald before him, pro­
nounced sentence of expulsion against Clisthenes,
and many other Athenians, on pretence of their being
polluted by sacrilegious murder. Isagoras prevailed
upon him to make this his excuse, because the Alc-
xnteonidte, with those of their party, had been guilty
of a murder, in which neither Isagoras nor any of hia
followers were concerned.

LXXI. The reason why these Athenians were
