Thrasybulus (tyrant)
Thrasybulus ((ギリシア語:Θρασύβουλος ὁ Μιλήσιος)) was the tyrant of Miletus in the 7th century BC. Under his rule, Miletus fought a lengthy war against Lydia. This war ended without a decisive victor (a result that Herodotus credits to Thrasybulus's tricking Alyattes II into making peace). Following the war, Miletus and Lydia concluded an alliance.
Thrasybulus was an ally of Periander, the tyrant of Corinth. He features in a famous anecdote from Herodotus's Histories,〔Herodotus ''The Histories'', 5.92f〕 in which a messenger from Periander asks Thrasybulus for advice on ruling.〔Aristotle tells the same story albeit with reversed roles (Thrasybulus asks Periander) in ''Politics'', 3, 1284a and ''Politics'', 5, 1311a〕 Thrasybulus, instead of responding, takes the messenger for a walk in a field of wheat, where he proceeds to cut off all of the best and tallest ears of wheat. The message, correctly interpreted by Periander, was that a wise ruler would preempt challenges to his rule by "removing" those prominent men who might be powerful enough to challenge him; this story gave the name to Tall poppy syndrome.
