The Tyrannicides

In 514 BCE, the ancient Greeks Harmodius and Aristogeiton stabbed and killed the tyrant ruler of Athens, Hipparchus. (For conveinance and comedy's sake, Harmodius is now "Harm" for short and Aristogeiton is now "Arrogance"). This murder was the first recorded act of tyrannicide which made Harm and Arrogance forever a part of history.

Sure enough, Harm and Arrogance seemed to set a trend. After their famous tyrannicide and liberation of Athens, many others would follow in their example and dispose of their despot leaders. With the tyrannicide of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, Brutus and the other Liberatores followed Harm and Arrogance into history.

But the killing of tyrants didn't stop there. Many other Roman Emperors, Medieval Kings, and modern leaders such as Abraham Lincoln and Benito Mussolini are considered the victims of tyranicide. Their infamous assasins such as John Wilkes Booth and numerous other revolutionaries are now reffered to as "Tyranicides" for their killing of tyrants. However, the great Harm and Arrogance will always be the deathless and original Tyrannicides. It seems that these two ancient Greeks really did set an unending trend. So who is next to join the dead tyrants? And who will be the next Tyrannicides?
