What are four ways to quadrisect any triangle?

What are four ways to quadrisect any triangle with compass and straightedge? I have a few already:

  1. Draw a median and from the midpoint, draw two medians to the remaining sides.

  2. Draw a median and from the point from which it is drawn, draw two medians, quadrisecting the one side.

  3. Draw a horizontal midline, and from the intersection points, draw two lines to the midpoint of the base.

They have to be constructable with a compass and an unmarked straightedge, and must divide the triangle into four pieces with equal area, but they do not have to be similar to the original triangle.
