As part of this he persuaded the Athenians to abandon their indefensible city, send their families to shelter in other cities, and take to the sea to fight there in the ships he had provided.He persuaded the Athenians to clearly establish their independence - facilitating the rebuilding and extension of the city walls destroyed by the Persians, which gave Athens independence from influence by Sparta.His popular support was based largely on his populist approach - preferring to influence affairs by appealing to the people rather than trying to persuade the aristocracy.
