Why did peisistratus give land to the landless farmers?

Peisistratus, the Athenian tyrant, gave land to landless farmers as part of his broader efforts to gain popular support and stabilize his rule. By redistributing land, he aimed to alleviate the economic struggles of the lower classes, reduce social tensions, and promote agricultural production. This policy helped to strengthen his political power by creating a base of loyal supporters among the newly empowered farmers. Ultimately, it contributed to the development of a more equitable society in Athens.

From then on the soldiers were mainly the landless poor because the army gave them a career, a pay and, on discharge, a grant of a sizable lump sum of money or a a plot of land to farm
