In Ancient Greece, particularly Athens, the Boule (Council of 500) was an assembly of citizens that were selected to run the day to day affairs of the city-state. The members of the Boule were chosen by lot, and their terms lasted one year. The Boule of Athens was established by Solon in 594 B.C., with 400 members. It was expanded to 500 members, 50 men from each of the ten tribes of Athens, by Kleisthenes in 508 B.C.The Boule met in the Bouleterion.
