To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The new Archon and his party began to tear down what Solon and Clisthenes had built up. Our knowledge as to the precise time when the Constitution of Clisthenes became operative is not accurate, but the best authorities indicate that the reforms of Clisthenes were made immediately after the expulsion of Hippias, and before Isagoras was raised to power with the aid of Spartan arms. When Isagoras assumed the archonship, he sought to abolish the Council of the Four Hundred, established by Solon, w...hich had been increased by Clisthenes to Five Hundred, and inaugurated a new Council of Three Hundred, based on the Doric number three, in- stead of the Ionic number four. This new body was composed exclusively of those in sympathy with the establishment of an oligarchy. The policy of Isagoras opened the eyes of the people. His design, with the military aid of Sparta, to overthrow the Constitution of Solon and the reforms of Clisthenes, and to destroy the liberties of Greece, became apparent. Public opinion became aroused.
