POLIS: The Trial of Socrates
A historical graphic novel that examines the events that led up to the trial and execution of Socrates in ancient Athens. In this scene, the leader of the Thirty Tyrants condemns one of its own members to die.
Previously I uploaded the inked page. However, I'm now working with Luca Blugheroni for the coloring, and I wanted to show off the finished page. (I've done the lettering. I may hire a better letterer down the road once I get the book funded on Kickstarter.) What do you think?!
This is a scene that takes place in 404 BCE just after the Peloponnesian War has ended. Sparta installed an oligarchic government at Athens which severely restricted citizenship. Even this limited 3000 were controlled by thirty men who would come to be known as the Thirty Tyrants.
After Theramenes makes his speech criticizing the unofficial leader of the Thirty, he expects the other citizens to back him and curtail Critias' more vicious policies. Critias, however, makes his own speech and then calls in his Spartan guards to take over the Assembly.
For anyone just finding me, below are the sketch and inked page:
