Summary:
The treason in ancient Athens was constituted within a wider variety amongst the offenses, with a more flagrant establishment of tyranny and the overthrow of democracy.
The criminal procedures were the “position out of the law”, the “graphe of the demolition”, the special procedure of “eisangelia”, and the procedure of "ἀπόϕασις”.
The enforced punishment for the offender and his collaborator was the death penalty, cumulatively with other major penalties, such as the confiscation of property, the total exile of the hole genus, hereditary dishonesty, as well as incidental penalties, such as the ban on burial of the offender within the limits of the Athenian territory, the engravement of his name in a special column for the eternal disgrace of the act, the demolishment of his residence, or the exhumation and the disposal of the bones outside the limits of Attica.
