Periander

Born circa 660 B.C. in Corinth; died there circa 585 B.C. Tyrant of Corinth (c. 627 B.C-585 B.C.).

Periander continued the policies of his father, Cypselus, which were directed against the hereditary nobility. In the interests of the trading and artisan classes, Periander introduced customs duties and state coinage of money and organized a large-scale building program. Under his rule, many vestiges of the hereditary order were eliminated, hereditary divisions were replaced by territorial divisions, territorial courts were created, and military units of mercenaries were organized. To strengthen the centralized authority, Periander introduced statutes to register the income of the populace and prohibit public banquets, lavish holiday celebrations, and mass gatherings in public squares. He also instituted a law against luxury. He established colonies in Corcyra, Potidaea, and Ambracia, along with a number in II-lyria. Late classical tradition included Periander among the seven Greek sages.
