The composition of the ten generals in Athens

Under the reform of Cleisthenes, four generals appointed by the four major tribes in Athens were dissolved with the formation of the new ten tribes. Instead, ten generals were appointed every year, one for each tribe. Ten will be a few officials of the city-state, not appointed by lot, but elected and can be re-elected many times. Every year at the tribal citizens' meeting, citizens will choose the best military talents in the tribe as the nominees of tribal generals. The nomination of the general will be confirmed and passed at the city-state assembly. Generally speaking, the person nominated by the tribe will be decided by the citizens' assembly.
