Θρασύβουλος

Wikipedia EN

Thrasybulus (/ˌθræsɪˈbjuːləs/; Greek: Θρασύβουλος Thrasyboulos; c. 440 – 388 BC) was an Athenian general and democratic leader. In 411 BC, in the wake of an oligarchic coup at Athens, the pro-democracy sailors at Samos elected him as a general, making him a primary leader of the ultimately successful democratic resistance to the coup. As general, he was responsible for recalling the controversial nobleman Alcibiades from exile, and the two worked together extensively over the next several years. In 411 and 410, Thrasybulus was in command along with Alcibiades and others at several critical Athenian naval victories.

Thrasybulus (Greek: Θρασύβουλος ὁ Μιλήσιος) was the tyrant of Miletus in the 7th century BC. Under his rule, Miletus fought a lengthy war against Lydia. This war ended without a decisive victor (a result that Herodotus credits to Thrasybulus's tricking Alyattes into making peace.). Following the war, Miletus and Lydia concluded an alliance.

Thrasybulus was an ally of Periander, the tyrant of Corinth. He features in a famous anecdote from Herodotus's Histories, in which a messenger from Periander asks Thrasybulus for advice on ruling. Thrasybulus, instead of responding, takes the messenger for a walk in a field of wheat, where he proceeds to cut off all of the best and tallest ears of wheat. The message, correctly interpreted by Periander, was that a wise ruler would preempt challenges to his rule by "removing" those prominent men who might be powerful enough to challenge him; this story gave the name to tall poppy syndrome.

Thrasybulus (Greek: Θρασύβουλος) was a tyrant who ruled Syracuse, Magna Graecia, for eleven months during 466 and 465 BC. He was a member of the Deinomenid family and the brother of the previous tyrant Hiero, who seized power in Syracuse by convincing Gelon's son to give up his claim to the leadership of Syracuse. A few months later, members of the Deinomenid family overthrew him. However, the Deinomenid family was subsequently overthrown and a democracy was established in Syracuse.

Ο Θρασύβουλος (μέσα 5ου αιώνα π.Χ. - 388 π.Χ.), ήταν Αθηναίος στρατηγός και ηγέτης της δημοκρατικής παράταξης. Το 411 π.Χ., όταν έλαβε χώρα πραξικόπημα των ολιγαρχικών στην Αθήνα, εξελέγη στη Σάμο στρατηγός, λαμβάνοντας την αρχηγία του αντιστασιακού κινήματος των δημοκρατικών. Από τη θέση αυτή, ανακάλεσε τον αμφιλεγόμενο πολιτικό Αλκιβιάδη από την εξορία, με τον οποίο συνεργάστηκε στενά κατά τη διάρκεια των επόμενων ετών. Το 411 και το 410 π.Χ., ο Θρασύβουλος και οι συνεργάτες του πέτυχαν μια σειρά από σημαντικές νίκες σε θαλάσσιες μάχες.
