THRASYBULUS , an Athenian See also:general, whose public career began in 411 B.C., when by his resolute behaviour he frustrated the oligarchic rising in See also:Samos (see PELOPONNESIAN See also:WAR), and secured the Athenian armament to the cause of See also:democracy. Elected general by the troops, he effected the recall of See also:Alcibiades and assisted him in the ensuing See also:naval See also:campaigns. By his brave See also:defence at Cynossema (411) he won the See also:battle for See also:Athens, and in 410 contributed towards the brilliant victory of See also:Cyzicus. In 406 he fought at Arginusae as a See also:simple See also:ship's See also:captain, but after the engagement was commissioned with See also:Theramenes (q.v.) to See also:- RESCUE (in Middle Eng. rescous, from O. Fr. recousse, Low Lat. rescussa, from reexcussa,reexcutere, to shake off again, re, again, ex, off, quatere, to shake)
rescue some drowning crews. In the subsequent inquiry Thrasybulus successfully disclaimed responsibility for the failure.
In 404, when exiled by the See also:Thirty Tyrants for his services to the democracy, he retired to See also:Thebes and there prepared for a desperate See also:attempt to recover his See also:country. See also:Late in the See also:year, with seventy men, he seized See also:Phyle, a See also:- HILL

hill fort on Mt Parnes. A force sent by the Thirty was repulsed and routed by a surprise attack. Thrasybulus now gained the See also:Peiraeus, See also:I000 strong, and successfully held the steep hill of Munychia against the oligarchs' full force. After this repulse the Thirty gave way to a provisional See also:government of moderate oligarchs. Meanwhile a Spartan See also:fleet, which the latter had summoned, blockaded the Peiraeus, but See also:- KING

Thrasybulus was now the See also:hero of the See also:people; but a See also:decree by which he secured the See also:franchise for all his followers, including many slaves, was rescinded as illegal.
In 395 Thrasybulus induced Athens to join the Theban See also:league against See also:Sparta, but did not himself take the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

Sailing first to the See also:Bosporus he effected a democratic revolution at See also:Byzantium and renewed the See also:corn-See also:toll. After a successful descent on See also:Lesbos and the renewal of the 5% import tax at See also:Thasos and See also:Clazomenae he sailed See also:south in quest of further contributions, but met his See also:death in a See also:night surprise by the people of See also:Aspendus. By his exactions he had forfeited the confidence both of the See also:allies and of Athens; but after his death the See also:ill-feeling subsided, and he was ever remembered as one of the saviours of his country.
