Peisistratos of Athens (ca. [[600s BC|607]]-[[520s BC|528 BC]]) was a Greek statesman who became the Tyrant of [[Athens]] following a (quite popular) coup and ruled in [[560s BC|561]], [[550s BC|559]]-[[550s BC|556]] and [[540s BC|546]]-[[520s BC|528 BC]].

Peisistratos was the son of a man called Hippocrates, and was named for the Peisistratos in the [[Odyssey]]. A friend of the Athenian lawgiver [[Solon]], he assisted Solon in his endeavours, and fought bravely in the conquest of [[Salamis Island|Salamis]]. When Solon left Athens, Peisistratos became leader of the party of the Highlands (poorer, rural people) in [[565 BC]]. Peisistratos used a clever scheme, calling for bodyguards after he pretended to be attacked. Those bodyguards were composed of the people of the Highlands whom had entered Athens. In [[560 BC]] he seized the [[Acropolis, Athens|Acropolis]] with this group of bodyguards, becoming ''turannos'' (tyrant). His rule did not last - he was driven out by [[Lycurgus]], [[Megacles]] and others from the party of the Coast within the year. He returned in [[559 BC]] with the help of Megacles, who had split from Lycurgus. Megacles had allied with Pisistratus on the condition that Pisistraus marry Megacles' daughter. The Athenians were persuaded by Megacles that [[Athena]] was bringing Peisistratos home and Peisistratos returned from exile in a carriage accompanied by a tall woman disguised as [[Athena]] in a suit of armor. Later, Megacles was angered by the fact that Peisistratos refused to have children with his daughter, and Peisistratos was again exiled in [[556 BC]] by Lycurgus and Megacles. He went to [[Euboea]] and remained there for almost ten years, becoming quite rich through mining. He returned to Athens in [[546 BC]] with a considerable force and regained power with the support of [[Lygdamos of Naxos]]. This time he worked well to retain his position.

Peisistratos rewarded Lygdamos by making him tyrant of [[Naxos]]. Peisistratos consolidated his power by favouring rural citizens with new land laws, but he also kept a large force of mercenaries and took hostages. He kept the democratic forms introduced by [[Solon]] but ensured that family members held the highest offices. Pisistratus promoted the cults of Athena and [[Dionysus]]. He began the construction of the temple to Athena on the [[Acropolis]] and also promoted a number of other public works including the ''[[Lyceum]]'', temples to [[Apollo]] and to [[Zeus]] as well as the [[Fountain of the Nine Springs]]. He also supported literature and the arts. The [[Panathenaic Games|Panathenaic Festival]] (reintroduced shortly before his reign) and the city [[Dionysia]] festival flourished during his time. Athenian coinage was introduced by about [[550 BC]], and may reflect policy of his, though there is no reference in contemporary documents to such. According to tradition, Pisistratus commissioned the first standard written editions of the [[Iliad]] and [[Odyssey]] of [[Homer]], which had previously been passed down orally or "cribbed" in private copies.

Peisistratos has been credited with the development of the first welfare state through his policy of providing a land loan to the underprivileged in society as part of an effort to encourage autarky.
