O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
In ancient Greece, ostracism was a legal punishment that was used to ban corrupt officials and inept military leaders from cities and districts.
The practice was sometimes misused by politicians and merchants to remove rivals from the political arena and exclude business competition; in Athens, ostracism was legally binding for ten years.
