To return to Harmodius; Hipparchus having been repulsed in his solicitations insulted him as he had
resolved, by first inviting a sister of his, a young girl, to come and bear
a basket in a certain procession, and then rejecting her, on the plea that
she had never been invited at all owing to her unworthiness.

If Harmodius was indignant at this, Aristogiton for his sake now became
more exasperated than ever; and having arranged everything with those who were to join them in the
enterprise, they only waited for the great feast of the Panathenaea, the
sole day upon which the citizens forming part of the procession could meet
together in arms without suspicion.
Aristogiton and Harmodius were to begin, but were to be supported
immediately by their accomplices against the bodyguard.

hoped that those not in the plot would be carried away by the example of a
few daring spirits, and use the arms in their hands to recover their
liberty.
