The Debate on Mytilene, BC 427 (litho)

Image description: The Debate on Mytilene, BC 427. The chief instigator of the brutal Athenian decree against Mytilene was Cleon, the tanner, an unprincipled demagogue. In spite of more humane and moderate counsels, he forced through his proposition that all the men of the city should be massacred, ignoring the fact that a large number of them were friendly to Athens. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
