Ancient Athenian

richgang (62)in WORLD OF XPILAR • 3 years ago

Every year, ancient Athenians carved a tile with the name of someone they disliked. If enough people wrote the same name, that person would have ten days to flee Athens for ten years

A tile was called an 'ostrakon' in Greek, giving rise to the word 'ostracise'
