The Athenians Voted to Replace Alcibiades

Athenian democracy voted to replace alcibiades. They scratched his name off their list of ten generals for the following year. Alcibiades refused to go back home. He went and retired in a castle that he had built in thrace, which is a region just across the straits north from asia minor. It was incredible though. Once again, the athenians simply could not restrain themselves in the heat of the moment. In their anger, for a second time, they alienated their best leader,. cast their finest weapon into a ditch.
