## Bio

Born around 460 BC into aristocratic Athens, Critias moved in intellectual circles as a poet and philosopher, studying under Socrates. When Athens fell to Sparta in 404 BC, he seized his moment: installed as leader of the Thirty Tyrants, an oligarchic puppet government. His rule lasted only months, but the body count was high - executions, expropriations, terror. He died in 403 BC, killed in battle when democrats stormed back to reclaim the city. The regime collapsed with him.
