Democracy is restored in Athens by Thrasybulus; he publishes an act of amnesty.
As a matter of fact Critias fell a few weeks afterward in a battle with Thrasybulus and the exiles of the democratic party.
His colleague, Thrasybulus, stood by apparently approving by his presence the charge that was brought but not opening his mouth.
The messenger took him for a fool, but Periander understood: Thrasybulus was counselling him to slay the principal citizens.
Thrasybulus fell in his eleventh month, and many other tyrannies have continued a very short time.
