Hissuccesj* What of the deposition of the Tyrants? Their successors . < THE COUNCIL OF TEN. 245 had taken place, rose in open revolt, and, deposing the Tyrants, ap- pointed a council of ten persons, in their stead, to administer the gov- ernment provisionally, and to affect an accommodation with Thrasy- bulus and his followers in Piraeus.
6. But the Council of Ten had no sooner been invested with author- ity, than its members began to exhibit a spirit as adverse to popular rights as that which had animated the deposed Thirty ; and instead of endeavoring to bring about a general reconciliation of parties, they sent ambassadors to Sparta to solicit aid in putting down the insur- rection of Thrasybulus.
7. Messengers arrived there about the same time, bearing a similar request from the Thirty Tyrants, who, after their deposition, had retired to Eleusis. The Lacedaemonians readily complied with the requests made to them, and sent Lysander with a considerable force to compel the Athenians to submit to the same oligarchical govern- ment which he himself had formerly established among them.
