A REVOLT IN ILIUM
Aha, I'd like to get Apep involved in this. He's more inclined to incite violence and uprisings than he is to participate in them. He could be influencing some talk mentioned above and help the revolution along through publications.
OR come in from the other angle by convincing the high society that their common people need a firmer hand to deal with them, creating more instability. Instead of paying attention to the demands of the revolt, he could just be like, "Squash them all! That'll show them who has power." Or something.
