Megacles (son of Hippocrates)
Megakles ( Greek Μεγακλῆς ) was an Athenian politician from the Alkmeonid family in the 5th century BC. Chr.
Megakles, son of Hippocrates and grandson of Megakles , was a prominent Athenian politician and at times main opponent of Themistocles . 486 BC He won the horse race with the four-team in Delphi. He became 487/86 BC BC, possibly also 472/71 BC Banned temporarily by ostracism , his name appears on more than 4,000 ostracas. With Aristotle the ostracism of the hippocrat son is for 487/86 BC. While Lysias states that the grandfather of Alcibiades , i.e. Megakles , the son of Kleisthenes , had been ostracized twice. It cannot be decided in which direction a mixture of both people is to be assumed. His sister was Agariste , the mother of Pericles .
