Editing 403 BC (section)

==== Greece ====
* [[Thrasybulus]] leads the [[Democracy|democratic]] resistance to the new [[Oligarchy|oligarchic]] government, known as the [[Thirty Tyrants]], that the victorious [[Sparta]]ns have imposed on [[Athens]]. He commands a small force of exiles that invades [[Attica]] and, in successive battles, defeats first a Spartan garrison and then the forces of the oligarchic government (which includes the Spartan general, [[Lysander]]) in the [[Battle of Munychia]]. The leader of the Thirty Tyrants, [[Critias]], is killed in the battle.
* The [[Battle of Piraeus (403 BC)|Battle of Piraeus]] is fought between Athenian exiles, who have defeated the government of the Thirty Tyrants and occupied [[Piraeus]], and a Spartan force sent to combat them. In the battle, the Spartans narrowly defeat the exiles, with both sides suffering large numbers of casualties. After the battle, the [[Agiad]] King of Sparta, [[Pausanias of Sparta|Pausanias]] arranges a settlement between the two parties which allows the reunification of Athens and Piraeus, and the re-establishment of democratic government in Athens. The remaining oligarchic Thirty Tyrants are allowed to flee to [[Eleusis]].
* Thrasybulus restores democratic institutions to Athens and grants amnesties to all except the oligarchic extremists. He is helped by [[Lysias]], the Athenian orator, in arguing the case against the oligarchy.
* [[Andocides]], Athenian orator and politician, who has been implicated in the mutilation of the [[Herma|Herms]] on the eve of the departure of the Athenian expedition against [[Sicily]] in [[415 BC]], returns from exile under the general amnesty.
