Harmodius and Aristogeiton (sculpture)

A sculptural pairing of the tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton (Ancient Greek: Ἁρμόδιος καὶ Ἀριστογείτων, romanized: Harmodios, Aristogeitōn) was well known in the ancient world in two major versions but survives only in Roman marble copies. The lovers Harmodius and Aristogeiton were Athenian heroes who assassinated the tyrant Hipparchus in 514 BC. == History == A first version, commissioned from the sculptor Antenor following the establishment of Athenian democracy and erected in the Agora of Athens, was taken by the Persians during their occupation of the city in 480 BC and removed to Susa during the Greco-Persian Wars.
