Against Alcibiades
Athenian choregus who competed against Alcibiades in a chorus of boys and was assaulted by him before the judges awarded Alcibiades the victory unjustly.
Then again, remember Taureas who competed against Alcibiades as Choregus of a chorus of boys.
And it seems to me only natural that the judges should thus seek favour with Alcibiades, when they could see that Taureas, who had spent so vast a sum, was being subjected to insults, while his rival, who showed such contempt for the law, was all-powerful.
Against Meidias
A chorus-master used in an earlier example of public violence.
He boxed the ears of Taureas, when the latter was chorus-master.
Letters
An Athenian cited as a precedent: though once imprisoned, he was not chained and could still address the Assembly, unlike Lycurgus' sons.
If Moerocles replies that this view is too subtle for his understanding, and that, to prevent them from running away, he put them in chains upon his own responsibility, demand of him why in the world he did not see the justice of this proceeding when Taureas, Pataecus, Aristogeiton and himself, though they had been committed to prison, were not only not in chains but would even address the Assembly.
Charmides
Owner of the wrestling-school where the dialogue's opening scene takes place.
Accordingly I went into the wrestling-school of Taureas, opposite the Queen’s shrine, and there I came upon quite a number of people, some of whom were unknown to me, but most of whom I knew.
