Heremos' hanged body at the marble quarry
Heremos (died 431 BCE) was an informant who served under the Athenian general Kleon during the Peloponnesian War.
Biography[]
In 431 BCE, Heremos was tasked by Kleon to travel to Mytilene on the Greek island of Lesbos, seemingly to help distribute supplies to the city's citizens against their oppressors.[1] However, while attempting to sneak out to meet with an associate,[2]Heremos was captured by the Spartan Army who were camped outside of Athens. Heremos was subsequently taken to the Mt. Pentelikos Marble Quarry to be interrogated for more information.[1]
Later on, the misthios Kassandra recovered a letter on a Spartan commander detailing Heremos' capture, reporting it to Kleon. In turn, the Athenian general requested Kassandra to locate and free him.[1] However, she was too late as she found Heremos hanged from the crane in the quarry.[3] After freeing and helping Onomakles, Kassandra reported Heremos' death and the mission to Kleon.[2]
