I'm going to post to the CLAS 2110 course webpage (http://www.classics.uga.edu/courses/clas2110/index.htm), under "Online Reading Assignments," a short discussion of what happened in Athens during the time of the Thirty Tyrants.

Several of you have mentioned taxation in your posts. If you're going to use taxation as part of a proposal that comes before the Assembly, I'd suggest that you find out more about how taxation worked in the Greek world. In the textbook by Robin Osborne, "Classical Greece," look at chapter 2, "The economy," and chapter 4, "The city at war." For those of you contemplating changes in citizenship, look at chapter 3, "The classical city," and chapter 5, "Political conflicts, political debates, and political thought."

And lest you think that nothing ever changes in Classics, or that Classics doesn't keep up with technology, check out the following links on the topic of Greek nudity.
