It is a wonder to me, and I do not believe the story, that the Alcmeonidae would ever have agreed to hold up a shield as a sign for the Persians out of a desire to make Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens subject to foreigners and to Hippias; for it is plain to see that they were tyrant-haters as much as Callias (son of Phaenippus and father of Hipponicus), or even more so.

Callias was the only
Athenian who dared to buy
Pisistratus' possessions when they were put up for sale by the state after
Pisistratus' banishment from
Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens; and he devised other acts of bitter hatred against him.
