The Athenians practiced ostracism as a political tool to protect their democracy from potential tyrants or overly powerful individuals who could threaten the city's stability. This process allowed citizens to vote to exile a person for ten years, thereby reducing the risk of tyranny and factionalism. Ostracism served as a means of maintaining balance within the political system and ensuring that no single individual could dominate Athenian politics. It reflected the democratic values of the city, emphasizing collective decision-making and the importance of individual accountability.
