Charmus

Charmus
For the scorpion genus, see Charmus (scorpion).

Charmus of Kolyttus, whose floruit was the middle of the sixth century BCE, was an Athenian polemarch (557/6) during the Pisistratid dynasty.

He is known for being the father of Hipparchus of the deme Cholargos, archon of 496/5 (Dionysios of Halikarnassos, 5.77.6). Hipparchus was the first Athenian to be ostracized in 487 according a law passed by Kleisthenes especially to banish him (Aristotle, "Constitution of Athens" XXII). The motive for Kleisthenes' actions was that Hipparchus was the leader and representative of the friends of the tyrants, and was working for the return of his brother-in-law, Hippias, exiled in 511/10, and for the appeasement of the Persians. (Aristotle, "Constitution of Athens" XXII)
