By her side rode Pisistratus heralds preceded their march, and proclaimed her approach, crying aloud to the Athenians "to admit Pisistratus, the favourite of Minerva, for that the goddess herself had come to earth on his behalf."
These colonies brought the Greek world in touch with Lydia and its king, Croesus, with the one sea-going Semitic power, the Phoenicians, with the Egyptians, and more remotely with the wholly Oriental empires of Assyria and Babylon, as well as with the outer barbarians of Scythia. Between 560 and 510 B.C., Athens was generally under the rule of the despot Pisistratus and his son Hippias.
"You have only got to put more capital on the land." PISISTRATUS. "Well, Mr. Squills, as you think so well of that investment, put your capital on it. I promise that you shall have every shilling of profit." PISISTRATUS. "On our land, Squills? -Thank you." MR. SQUILLS. "No, no, anything but that; on the Great Western." Pisistratus relaxes into gloom.
