sisamnes

According to Herodotos,Sisamnes was a corrupt judge under Cambyses II of Persia. He accepted a bribe and delivered an unjust verdict. As a result, the king had him arrested and flayed alive. His skin was then used to cover the seat in which his son would sit in judgement. Sisamnes was the subject of two paintings by Gerard David, "The Arrestation of Sisamnes" and "Flaying of Sisamnes" both done in 1498. Together they make up the Cambyses diptych.
