Pisistratus

(pīsĭs`trətəs), 605?–527 B.C., Greek statesman, tyrant of Athens. His power was founded on the cohesion of the rural citizens, whom he consolidated with farseeing land laws. His coup (c.560 B.C.) was probably not unpopular. His rivals, the AlcmaeonidaeAlcmaeonidae

He did much to enhance Athenian cultural prestige, held great festivals like the Panathenaea, and beautified the city. His building efforts included fountains and temples, such as the great temple of Zeus at Athens. He had an official text of Homer written down. His name also appears as Peisistratus.

Pisistratus

(also Peisistratos). Lived in the sixth century B.C., in Athens. Athenian tyrant; ruled 560–527 B.C., with interruptions.

Pisistratus acted in the interests of the peasantry and the artisan and trader strata of the demos and was opposed to the interests of the clan aristocracy. Evidently he distributed to the rural poor lands that were confiscated from the eupatridae, the Athenian landholding aristocracy, and he organized a system for extending state credit on favorable terms. The large amount of public construction during Pisistratus’ reign ensured work for the poor, and state subsidies for disabled soldiers were established. State coins—the Pisistratean tetradrachm, for example— were minted from ores obtained from expanded operation of the Lavrion Mines and the Pangaean silver and gold mines, which had been seized by Pisistratus.

During the reign of Pisistratus a mercenary army was created. Solon’s constitution was retained, but civic and religious positions were filled by supporters of Pisistratus. Athens was transformed into the cultural center of Greece: the temples of Pallas Athena and the Pythian Apollo were erected on the Acropolis and the Temple of Demeter in Eleusis. A new marketplace was built, as was the Enneakrounos fountain house, which remained in service to the 18th century. Construction of the harbor at Piraeus also progressed.
