Image description

Assassination of Hipparchus, BC 514. Infuriated at the insult offered to his sister by Hipparchus, Harmodius and his intimate friend Aristogeiton organized a conspiracy against the two rulers. They assassinated Hipparchus at the festival of Panathenaea, but Harmodius himself was killed in the tumult. Hippias escaped and ruled Athens for a few years more, until he was deposed and banished in BC 510. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920).
