Who was a populist politician and the effective ruler of Athens when Admetus was King of the Molossians?
Admetus of Epirus Admetus (Greek: Αδμητος ) (before 470-430 BC) was a Greek king of the Molossians at the time that Themistocles (524–459 BC) was the effective ruler of Athens. When Themistocles was in control of Athens, Admetus had opposed him, but without any rancour.
Boule (ancient Greece) In cities of ancient Greece, the boule (Greek: βουλή , "boulē"; plural βουλαί, "boulai") was a council of 400–500 citizens (βουλευταί, "bouleutai") appointed to run daily affairs of the city. Originally a council of nobles advising a king, "boulai" evolved according to the constitution of the city; in oligarchies "boule" positions might be hereditary, while in democracies members were typically chosen by lot, and served for one year. Little is known about the workings of many "boulai", except in the case of Athens, for which extensive material has survived.
