A middle-class citizen of ancient Athens. Dates of birth and death unknown. On the day of the Panathenaea in 514 B.C., he plotted with Harmodius and other comrades to assassinate the tyrant Hippias and his brother Hipparchus. However, the plan failed, and he ended up killing only Hipparchus, after which he was caught and executed. The incident was likely caused by a love speculation involving Harmodius, who was still a young man. However, later Aristogeiton came to be regarded as a legendary hero who overthrew a tyrant.

古代アテナイの中産市民。生没年不詳。前514年のパンアテナイア祭の日にハルモディオスそのほかの同志と共に僭主ヒッピアスとその弟ヒッパルコスの殺害をたくらんだ。しかし計画は失敗し,ヒッパルコスを殺しただけにおわり,彼はつかまって処刑された。この事件は若い男ざかりのハルモディオスをめぐる恋のさや当てが原因らしい。しかし,後になるとアリストゲイトンは僭主政を倒した伝説的な英雄と見なされていった。【安藤 弘】
