were accustomed to honour Adrastos with very great honours;
for this land was formerly the land of Polybos, and Adrastos was
daughter's son to Polybos, and Polybos dying without sons gave his
kingdom to Adrastos: the Sikyonians then not only gave other honours
to Adrastos, but also with reference to his sufferings they specially
honoured him with tragic choruses, not paying the honour to Dionysos but
to Adrastos. Cleisthenes however gave back the choruses to Dionysos, and
the other rites besides this he gave to Melannipos.

68. Thus he had done to Adrastos; and he also changed the names of the
Dorian tribes, in order that the Sikyonians might not have the same
tribes as the Argives; in which matter he showed great contempt of the
Sikyonians, for the names he gave were taken from the names of a pig
and an ass by changing only the endings, except in the case of his own
tribe, to which he gave a name from his own rule. These last then were
called Archelaoi, 57 while of the rest those of one tribe were called
Hyatai, 58 of another Oneatai, 59 and of the remaining tribe Choireatai.
60 These names of tribes were used by the men of Sikyon not only in the
reign of Cleisthenes, but also beyond that for sixty years after his
death; then however they considered the matter and changed them into
Hylleis, Pamphyloi, and Dymanatai, adding to these a fourth, to which
they gave the name Aigialeis after Aigialeus the son of Adrastos.

69. Thus had the Cleisthenes of Sikyon done: and the Athenian
Cleisthenes, who was his daughter's son and was called after him,
despising, as I suppose, the Ionians, as he the Dorians, imitated his
namesake Cleisthenes in order that the Athenians might not have the same
tribes as the Ionians: for when at the time of which we speak he added
to his own party the whole body of the common people of the Athenians,
which in former time he had despised, 61 he changed the names of the
tribes and made them more in number than they had been; he made in fact
ten rulers of tribes instead of four, and by tens also he distributed
the demes in the tribes; and having added the common people to his party
he was much superior to his opponents.

70. Then Isagoras, as he was being worsted in his turn, contrived a
plan in opposition to him, that is to say, he called in Cleomenes the
Lacedemonian to help him, who had been a guest-friend to himself since
the siege of the sons of Peisistratos; moreover Cleomenes was accused
of
