Constitution of the Athenians
Seizure of the fortress of Phyle by democratic exiles, beginning the resistance to the Thirty
Winter being now upon them, when Thrasybulus with the exiles had seized Phyle, and the expedition which the Thirty led out had returned badly, they resolved to strip the rest of their arms and to destroy Theramenes in the following way.
After this, when those from Phyle had seized Munichia and defeated in battle those who came to the aid with the Thirty, the men from the town, withdrawing after the danger and gathering in the Agora on the following day, deposed the Thirty and chose ten of the citizens with full powers to bring the war to an end.
Against Eratosthenes
Thrasybulus's seizure of the fortress of Phyle as the opening act of resistance to the Thirty.
For if their quarrel had been in the cause of those who had suffered wrong, at what moment could a ruler have more gloriously displayed his own loyalty than on the seizure of Phyle by Thrasybulus?
