Best Answer

He pillaged the 180 city-states of the Athenian empire, which he had helped found, to get the money to pay for 'glorifying Athens'. Spending the money, originally designed to protect against Persian invasion, on this, and putting half of Athens on the public payroll, bought him great political support and promoted his ideas of a radical democracy which suppressed opposition to him.
