He was a prominent war leader who encouraged military adventurism to establish an empire and the tribute it brought from the subject cities. He encouraged this money to be spent on benefits for the citizens.

He expelled the conservative leaders and gave power to the assembly of the people who met regularly and directed the council's activities and implementation of assembly decisions.

He spoke decisively at assembly meeting, often gaining support for various measures - many good, some bad such as pushing Athens into a devastating 27-year war which it lost, and also lost its empire.
