Solon had reorganized the political factions of Attika (Attica) into two groups: 1) the Pediakoi (men of the plains) and 2) the Paraloi (men of the shore); the tyrant, Pisistratus, introduced a third class, the Diakrioi (men of the hills or mountaineers).
The classifications devised by Solon were purely economic but Pisistratus used the Diakrioi as a political tool to successfully seize power in 561 BCE.
