The ten-year exile in Athens is commonly referred to as the "ostracism" period. This practice involved the temporary banishment of a citizen, typically due to political rivalry, decided by a vote of the populace. A notable figure who experienced this was the statesman Themistocles, who was ostracized around 471 BCE. Ostracism was intended to prevent any individual from gaining too much power and to maintain political balance in the city-state.
