Alcibiades is an outstanding candidate for ostracism. Athenians can vote to exile a politician for ten years. Not for anything illegal, but because the citizens judge him to be a danger to the body politic. Huh. Maybe we should bring that back.

I love this series already. I fell in love with the narrative style when I read the one about Ancient Egypt, and now just reading the first chapter I’m just as, if not more, fascinated with this one.
