The Origin of Tyranny

Note 930 — Chapter VI · Argos

Reading edition

Cleisthenes, the tyrant of Sicyon, regarded with particular favour one of his daughter’s suitors, “because he was related by descent to the Cypselids of Corinth,” Hdt. VI. 128 (quoted by Grote in this connexion). For friendship between Corinth and Sicyon at this time, see perhaps also Nic. Dam. F.H.G. III. p. 395; cp. Wilisch, Goett. Gel. Anz. 1880, II. p. 1195.
