Περὶ τῶν μυστηρίων Andocides ca. 440-ca. 390 B.C
63 When the others learned the truth, they were furious to think that I was in the secret without having taken any active part; and the next day I received a visit from MeletusMeletus had also been connected with the profanation of the Mysteries; his name appears on Andromachus’ list (Andoc. 1.13). Like Euphiletus, he was denounced by Teucrus for mutilation of the Hermae (Andoc. 1.35). and Euphiletus. We have managed it all right, Andocides, they told me. Now if you will consent to keep quiet and say nothing, you will find us just as good friends as before. If you do not, you will find that you have been much more successful at making enemies of us than at making fresh friends by turning traitor to us.
64 I replied that I certainly thought Euphiletus a scoundrel for acting as he had; although he and his companions had far less to fear from my being in the secret than from the mere fact that the deed was done.
64 I supported this account by handing over my slave for torture, to prove that I was ill at the time in question and had not even left my bed; and the Prytanes arrested the women-servants in the house which the criminals had used as their base.
