-with Hippie gone, Isagoras and Clisthenes(both were aristocrats- surprise!) engaged in a power struggle
-isagoras had support from some fellow aristocrats,plus from Sparta
-Cleisthenes had support of the majority of Athenians
Isagoras won!
-cleisthenes and Democracy
Cleisthenes- definitely a member of the elite
Cleisthenes very rich 
insulated from "hoipolloi"
a craft politician
