Cylon

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Cylon (lived 7th century BC)

Athenian noble. He led an unsuccessful insurrection 632 BC, hoping to make himself tyrant of Athens.

Besieged on the Acropolis, Cylon and his supporters took sanctuary at the altar of Athena. The archon (chief magistrate) Megacles persuaded them to leave by promising them their lives. But they were all put to death except Cylon, who escaped. This defiling of holy sanctuary produced a curse on Megacles' family, the Alcmaeonids.
