Head of Aristogiton

Copy after the bronze group representing the Tyrranicides cast by Kritios and Nesiotes in 475-465 BC to celebrate the liberation from the tiranny of the Pisistratids. Harmodius and Aristogeiton (both died 514 BC) were two men from ancient Athens. They became known as the Tyrannicides after they killed the Peisistratid tyrant Hipparchus, and were the preeminent symbol of democracy to ancient Athenians.该青铜群像复刻品系克里蒂奥斯（Kritios）与涅西奥特斯（Nesiotes）于公元前475至前465年创作的弑僭者（Tyrranicides）群像原作的复制品，原作旨在纪念雅典摆脱庇西特拉图家族（Pisistratids）的僭主统治、重获解放。哈莫狄奥斯（Harmodius）与阿里斯托吉顿（Aristogeiton）均于公元前514年逝世，二人均为古雅典市民。二人刺杀了庇西特拉图家族的僭主希帕库斯（Hipparchus），自此被尊称为“弑僭者”，并成为古雅典民众心中民主精神的卓越象征。
