Pysistritus: A Strategy for Taking Power
Pysistritus fakes an ambush on himself, self-inflicted wounds. Then he uses those heavies to take power. As somebody who won a lot of fights as a child by pretending that I was worse hurt than I was until my twin brother leaned over and then I whapped him, I approve of this tactic. But he then gets chucked up again. And is he down? Is he out? No! He comes back just a couple of years later, with an even better plan. It's a two-prong approach. One is he marries the daughter of his big rival,. Smart news. Second plan: Find the most beautiful girl in Athens.
