Lysimachus

And this is the very thing that Lysimachus has done.

This is exactly what Lysimachus had in mind when he subjected me to this trial;

My accuser has made light of this fact, and has made a speech which is in no respect pertinent to the indictment.

When King Lysimachus threatened him with the cross, he said:

Theodorus, to Lysimachus threatening death, said:

Well, I ask it of you, Socrates:

No, but the matter now rests with us, Socrates;

You have seen the performance of the man fighting in armour, Nicias and Laches;

and when a trial took place in court, Lysimachus was acquitted, and got the nickname "the man from the drum";

[The decree is read]

Now this decree, Athenians, proves that your ancestors, like yourselves, were accustomed to honor good men;

Lysimachus, only one of the worthies of that day, received a hundred roods of orchard in Euboea and a hundred of arable land, besides a hundred minas of silver and a pension of four drachmas a day.

We, Lysimachus of Alopece, Demeas of Sunium, Chares of Thoricus, Philemon of Sphetta, Moschus of Paeania, know that at the date when the indictment was presented to the Council charging Aristarchus, the son of Moschus, with the murder of Nicodemus, Meidias, who is now being tried at the suit of Demosthenes, for whom we appear, came before the Council and stated that Aristarchus, and no one else, w …

We have an instance of the second kind, where the objection is made to the person sent on an embassy, in the case of Theodore, who was called the atheist, and whom Lysimachus refused to receive in the character of an ambassador sent from Ptolemy, and the same thing has frequently happened to others, against whom peculiar motives of aversion have existed.

And when he had effected with him a settlement of the matter and had exacted from him ten minas of silver, Callimachus maliciously accused Lysimachus.

Did this Lysimachus, then, having by some good luck escaped the lion's teeth, prove for that reason milder when he himself reigned?

For what difference is there, I ask you, Alexander, whether you throw Lysimachus to the lion or tear him yourself with your teeth?

And when all had thus been seized, they ordered Lysimachus, the cavalry commander, to take them to Athens and turn them over to the Eleven.

and Lysimachus, the cavalry commander, put these men to the sword, although they pleaded earnestly and many of the cavalrymen were much opposed to the proceeding.
