Editing Lysander (section)

==Resistance by Athens==
The Athenian general [[Thrasybulus]], who had been exiled from Athens by the Spartans' [[puppet government]], led the democratic resistance to the new oligarchic government. In 403 BC, he commanded a small force of exiles that invaded [[Attica]] and, in successive battles, defeated first a Spartan garrison and then the forces of the oligarchic government (which included Lysander) in the [[Battle of Munychia]]. The leader of the Thirty Tyrants, Critias, was killed in the battle.

The [[Battle of Piraeus]] was then fought between Athenian exiles who had defeated the government of the Thirty Tyrants and occupied Piraeus and a Spartan force sent to combat them. In the battle, the Spartans defeated the exiles,  despite their stiff resistance. Despite opposition from Lysander, after the battle Pausanias the [[List of kings of Sparta|Agiad King of Sparta]], arranged a settlement between the two parties which allowed the re-establishment of democratic government in Athens.
