There had been no democracy. Pisistratus was appointed to curb the rapacious power of the rich oligarchs and give justice to the less affluent citizens. He was successful in this, passing control to his two sons on his death. Democracy began after they were expelled, and Cleisthenes took control from the oligarchs who attempted to return to power.
