He wrote a work variously titled (here given as), The Indictment of Socrates, thought written sometime during the 390's B.C. and also works, according to one source lauding, to another condemning, the individual Clytaemnestra, who was known to have murdered her husband, and Busiris who killed and ate his guests.
