On a summer night in 415 BCE, unknown persons systematically mutilated most of the domestic “herms”guardian statues of the god Hermesin Athens. The reaction was immediate and extreme: the Athenians feared a terrifying conspiracy was underway against the city and its large fleetand possibly against democracy itself. The city established a board of investigators, which led to informants, accusations, and flight by many of the accused. Ultimately, dozens were exiled or executed, their property confiscated.
