abstract
  • Harmodios (c. 530-514 BC) and Aristogeiton (c. 550-514 BC), known as "the Liberators" and "the Tyrannicides", became heroes in Athens through their role in the overthrow of the Tyranny of the Peisistratid family, specifically the slaying of Hipparkhos. They were the first two Ancient Greeks considered by their countrymen worthy of having statues raised to them. Ironically, modern scholarship has concluded that Hipparkhos was not a tyrant, but that his brother Hippias was, and actually become a cruel ruler after the death of Hipparkhos. Only after Hippias was overthrown were Harmodios and Aristogeiton lionized, and Hipparkhos described as a tyrant.
