Listen "Ostracism, a very tall woman and tyrants."
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast I look at the oddity that was ostracism in Ancient Athens. Why was it needed? What did it aim to do? There's also a brief chat about tyrants and which includes an instance which Herodotus calls the silliest trick in history.
