“Meletos, Son of Laros, Athenian, orator. This man, together with Anytos, indicted Socrates. There are also tragedies which are his work. He was stoned [to death] by the Athenians. And he lived at the time of Zeno of Elea and Empedokles. This man wrote about existence. He was also a political opponent of Perikles; and as general in charge of the Samians he fought a sea-battle against Sophokles the tragic poet, in the 84th Olympiad.”
