HETÆRIES, Ancient.
Political clubs "which were habitual and notorious at Athens;
associations, bound together by oath, among the wealthy
citizens, partly for purposes of amusement, but chiefly
pledging the members to stand by each other in objects of
political ambition, in judicial trials, in accusation or
defence of official men after the period of office had
expired, in carrying points through the public assembly, &c.
… They furnished, when taken together, a formidable
anti-popular force."
