Apollodorus

while Apollodorus says he was born about the fortieth Olympiad and lasted down to the times of Darius and Cyrus.

And Apollodorus of Cyme first introduced the name of "grammarian" instead of "critic," and was called a grammarian;

" And Apollodorus of Cercyra says that these verses were uttered aloud by Branchus the seer, when he was cleansing the Milesians from a plague.

Zeno, indeed, not only stung with abuse those of his own time — Apollodorus, Sillis, and the rest — but even said that Socrates himself, the parent of philosophy, was, using a Latin word, an Attic buffoon, and never called Chrysippus anything but Chrysippa.

'But Phalaris, but Apollodorus paid the penalty.

So, said he, I will not take over the ship alone.

my children were small and my estate was in debt;

but do you take over the ship, and first serve as trierarch for your term, the six months;

The Witnesses

The Depositions

(Apollodorus, as co-pleaser, speaks.

especially one of us, Apollodorus;

Of native Athenians there was this Apollodorus, and Critobulus and his father, and Hermogenes and Epiganes and Aeschines and Antisthenes;

But Apollodorus, who had been weeping all the time before, then wailed aloud in his grief and made us all break down, except Socrates himself.

this speech you communicated to Apollodorus, who was bringing a capital charge against Phormion.

And if you derive it from a certain Myous, an Athenian whom Apollodorus says was killed while hunting, I do not grudge it:

The sister of my grandmother Chaerestratê was married to Apollodorus of Plotheia.

and that Apollodorus, the very man who is now defendant in this suit, had no wine on board the vessel, but that about eighty jars of Coan wine were being conveyed for a certain man of Theodosia.

Erasicles deposes that he was pilot of the ship of which Hyblesius was owner, and that to his knowledge Apollodorus was conveying in the ship four hundred and fifty jars of Mendaean wine, and no more;

Aratus of Halicarnassus deposes that he lent to Apollodorus eleven minae in silver on the merchandise which he was conveying in the ship of Hyblesius to Pontus, and on the goods purchased there as a return cargo;

Apollodorus, son of Pasio, of Acharnae, sues Stephanus, son of Menecles, of Acharnae, for false testimony;

And I shall endeavor to relate to you in the fewest possible words all that has taken place between Phormio and myself from the first;

As for myself, men of the jury, a large property was left me by my father, and this was in the possession of Phormio, who furthermore had married my mother while I was out of the country on public business, serving as your trierarch.

Even of myself, men of the jury, I could pretty well suspect that this fellow Stephanus would not be at a loss for something to say in defence of his testimony;

I bring before you, then, these laws, and I prove that both these men have transgressed them, Phormio by having at the outset wronged me and robbed me of the money which my father left me, and which that father leased to Phormio together with the bank and the manufactory;

When, however, my opponent has testified that what was written in the document was a copy of the will of Pasio, but is unable to prove either that my father made a will or that he was himself present and saw it when my father drew it up, is he not manifestly proved to have given false testimony?

since for myself, I should rather let you take everything I have, than pay an unjust claim as the victim of a malicious suit.

That Callippus is able to achieve his ends contrary to the laws and contrary to justice, you have heard, men of the jury, from the deposition.

If you are to establish the custom, that those who are able speakers and who enjoy a reputation are more to be believed than men of less ability, it will be against yourselves that you will have established this custom.

for they would say that no other man would have filed the information, if I were myself the one wronged.

Nicostratus, whom you see here in court, men of the jury, was a neighbor of mine in the country, and a man of my own age.

but I have filed this inventory of property because I have suffered wrong and indignity from these men and therefore thought it my duty to avenge myself upon them.

I beg you therefore to aid me in recovering from my father’s debtors the estate which he left me.

And yet, if matters had gone badly with Timotheus, my father’s money, too, was lost, for he lent it without security and without witnesses;

Let no one of you think, men of the jury, that it is a thing beyond belief that Timotheus should have owed money to my father and is now being prosecuted by me in this suit.

Please take this list and this challenge and these depositions.

He has expended upon public services merely what you have heard, the smallest fraction of his income, not to say of his capital;

Besides this he has had for about twenty years the income of the property originally divided, of which he himself had charge, more than thirty minae.

as one unworthy to be king or to share His own honor and title, and that with shame and outrage—as, I suppose, Phalaris and Apollodorus and many others of like kind.

As a result of these principles, what public service did he fail perfectly to discharge?

Now Apollodorus had a son whom he brought up and dearly cherished, as indeed was only natural.

As a result Eupolis and Apollodorus were always at enmity with one another, while my grandfather and Apollodorus were naturally close friends.

Furthermore, gentlemen, though Aristomenes or Apollodorus might have had my mother adjudicated to them in marriage, yet they had no right to her estate.

You remember when Phrynichus was murdered at night beside the fountain in the osier beds by Apollodorus and Thrasybulus, who were later caught and put in the prison by the friends of Phrynichus.

and Aeantodorus, whose brother Apollodorus is present.

Apollodorus tells his Companions how he heard about the Banquet

It is waste of time, Apollodorus, to wrangle about such matters now.

You are the same as ever, Apollodorus,—always defaming your self and every one else!

whether those who commonly rage and take joy in human blood are angry when they kill men from whom they have received no injury and do not even believe themselves to have received one—such as Apollodorus or Phalaris.

if," says he, "he has become not only bad, but savage, but monstrous, such as Apollodorus or Phalaris, will you repay this man too the benefit which you had received?

‘For in man the blood about the heart is perception.
