Note 328 — Chapter II · Athens

Aristoph. Lysistr. 1150 f. “Do you not know that it was the Spartans again, who when you were wearing the labourer’s dress (κατωνάκας φοροῦντες), came under arms and slew ... many friends and allies of Hippias, ... and set you free, and clothed your people like gentlemen instead of labourers once again (ἀντὶ τῆς κατωνάκης τὸν δῆμον ὑμῶν χλαῖναν ἤμπισχον πάλιν).” Cp. the charges made by fifth century Roman republicans against the kings: below, pp. 223–4.
