The year was 508 B.C. when the common people turned on their leaders/ nobles. Before, freedom of speech was widespread in Hellis which is now called Greece. Athens was a small town then and not an ideal place to live because it was to hilly. Places like Egypt and Persia were 'blessed' by rivers and fertile lands. Greece was divided into city-states the three major city-states were Argos, Corinth, and Sparta. Spartans were brought up to be soldiers. with lives structured by war. The Spartans were a threat to the rest of Greece. The Spartans helped Isagaris take over power of Athens. But when the people rebelled in 508 B.C. they were powerless.
