Alcibiades gave this advice to Tissaphernes
and the king, with whom he then was, not merely because he thought it really
the best, but because he was studying means to effect his restoration to his
country, well knowing that if he did not destroy it he might one day hope to
persuade the Athenians to recall him, and thinking that his best chance of
persuading them lay in letting them see that he possessed the favour of
Tissaphernes.

The event proved him to be right.
When the Athenians at Samos found that he had influence with Tissaphernes,
principally of their own motion （though partly also through
Alcibiades himself sending word to their chief men to tell the best men in
the army, that if there were only an oligarchy in the place of the rascally
democracy that had banished him, he would be glad to return to his country
and to make Tissaphernes their friend）, the captains and chief men
in the armament at once embraced the idea of subverting the democracy.
