Eucleides

''For other people of the same name, see Euclid (disambiguation)

Eucleides was archon of Athens 403-402 BC. During his year of office, the murderous oligarchy of the Thirty Tyrants was driven out of Athens, and the Athenian democracy re-established. As part of this, the Athenians accepted a spelling reform, adopting the Ionian alphabet, which included eta and omega.

There are inscriptions from Athens which used Ionian spelling before it was official, and others which continued to use the old Attic spelling after it was repudiated.
