Many of these new rulers were just  as tyrannical as their predecessors, but a few were progressive and became decent  leaders. Pheidon of Argos, for example, established a recognized system of weights and  measures during his rule from 710 - 670 BCE.

这些新统治者中的许多人与他们的前任一样专制，但也有一些人进步并成为体面的领导人。 例如，阿尔戈斯的菲顿在公元前 710 - 670 年的统治期间建立了公认的度量衡体系。
