They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me Spartan Judge. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
The Spartan Judge was a Spartan judge at the 428 BCE Olympic Games in the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, Greece.
The judge and the Priestess of Demeter who presided over the games caught and judged Kallipateira, a woman who tried to watch the games disguised as a man, for it was against the law for women observe the competitions. The price for this transgression was death by being thrown off the mount Kronion.[1]
However, the Spartan misthios Kassandra intervened, and promised to prove that Kallipateira had the right to watch her son Peisirrhodos compete, as she claimed. At the end of her investigation, Kassandra presented the judge and the Priestess with proof of Kallipateira's words, and Kallipateira was acquitted.[1]
