Cleisthenes
The division of Athenian citizens into 10 new tribes from the original 4 was carried out by Cleisthenes during his reforms in 508/507 BCE. This restructuring aimed to break the power of traditional tribal affiliations and foster unity among the citizens of Athens following the establishment of democracy. The new tribes were designed to include members from different geographical areas, promoting broader representation in the political system.
There were 10 tribes noted by Thucydides (if I remember correctly) in his work on the Peloponnesian War. A quick search of the 10 tribes of Athens gave me: # Erechthesis # Aegeis # Pandianis # Leontis # Acamantis # Oeneis # Cecropis # Hippothontis # Aeantis # Antiochis
Each of the 10 tribes elected 50 of their members to represent them in the boule.

The 10 tribes of the Hebrews are known as the lost tribes because no one knows what happened to them.
