The dropping of the case is speculative. Refer to The Athenian Revolution by Joshua Ober. Pg 95,96.

Ought that be integrated a little more smoothly into the reference section? --Emesee (talk) 00:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Biased source?

I know the man is long dead, but isn't it a little unfair to base the supposed factual description of him as "a violent and bitter enemy" upon the account of his enemy? Perhaps he and his friends would tell the story a little bit differently. If he were a living, or even recent person, one would say that "he was called a 'bitter and violent enemy' by some accounts", you wouldn't state it as a fact just because one account says that he was. Judgind by how much written accounts differ when there are multiple accounts available, it seems unwise to treat any one account as fact just because there is nothing to contradict it. Also, the thing about the case being "bought off for 30 coins" is debated. I don't know a lot about Greek history, but I do know that there are many who contend that claim, so it also shouldn't be stated as a plain fact.
