(that alcibiades had been a friend and student of socrates also not helpful). oligarchic revolution in athens, 411, led to the rule of the 400, abolition of offices, assassination of some democratic leaders. the oligarchy was short-lived, but their regime was the first formal blow to democratic institutions. mass irrationality the end of the war in 404 brought civil war and bloodletting. the thirty tyrants (installed by sparta) visited vengeance and destruction on athens, faith in democracy reached its low ebb. thousands dead. the long walls were destroyed. the spartan king pausanias saw advantages in stopping athens self-immolation, restored democratic rule in 403. but democracy returned at a price, and in a battered condition. to facilitate return to normalcy athenians had first to swear an oath never to call to mind evil things (mnesikakein). enforced amnesia failed to restore broad faith in democracy or in the intellectual freedoms with which it was associated. exhibit A: the trial and execution of socrates, 399 BC. he fought in the war but they thought he corrupted the youth and wasnt a good athenian citizen. he couldnt defend himself. plato’s response: the republic which held that high achievement and the attainment of true wisdom was reserved for some out of reach for others. the lesson of athenian democracy was that inveitably invited despotism. unable to live in the context of self-control.
