Years: 487BCE - 487BCE
Athenians make democratic changes in their government in 487 BCE, choosing the archons by lot from a preliminary elected list drawn from all three social classes, instead of being directly elected, as the strategoi continue to be.
This diminishes the influence of the ancient Council of the Areopagus, which is recruited from former archons.
