POLIS: The Trial of Socrates
At the end of Peloponnesian War, Sparta defeated Athens, and the democracy was replaced by a small oligarchy. This puppet government was headed by thirty men, later referred to as the Thirty Tyrants. Theramenes was one of these men, but he attempted to argue against some of their unjust practices. In the last set of pages, we see just that.
In this page, Critias has his turn. Critias was the unofficial leader of the Tyrants, and it is against him that Theramenes was directing his criticism. On this page, Critias turns the tables.
And here it is inked:
