In what year did Athens become a democracy?

Answer 1

In 507 BCE Athens was converted into a limited democracy by Cleisthenes after expelling their tyrant. During the Persian invasion of 480-479 the aristocrats re-took control to lead the war effort and didn't let go afterwards. In 460 BCE Ephialtes restored democracy but was assassinated for this. His deputy Pericles took over and, after arranging the expulsion of conservative leader Thucydides son of Melesias in 442 BCE, converted the political situation into a direct democracy where the assembly of the citizens ruled.
