History was his guide. He was Athenian and saw it happen first hand. Athens slipped into tyranny multiple times:
Cylon, 632 BC (stoned)
Pisistratus, 561 BC, 559-556 BC and 546-528 BC
Hipparchus, 527-514 BC (murdered)
Hippias, 527-510 BC
Theramenes, Critias, and Charicles leading members of the Thirty Tyrants 404-403
Lachares, 300-294 BC
Aristion, 88-86 BC (executed)
