Charicles
5th-century BC Athenian politician, one of the Thirty Tyrants
Charicles (Greek: Χαρικλῆς), son of Apollodorus, was an ancient Athenian politician. In 415 BC he investigated the mutilation of the herms, and in 414/3 was made a general. In 411 Charicles became one of the Four Hundred, and he fled Athens after it fell; he returned in 404 and was one of the Thirty Tyrants.[1] Along with Critias, he unsuccessfully forbade Socrates from speaking to men under the age of thirty.[2] According to Aristotle he was one of the worst of the Thirty Tyrants.[1]
