I know who voted against me, but it’s not right to discuss the gods. However, as far as Odysseus is concerned, I couldn’t stop myself from hating him, even if Athena herself ordered me to do so.

Minos And Sostratus Not the subject of Lucian’s lost work (cf. Demonax, init.), but probably the pirate who seized Halonnesus (cf. Letter of Philip, 13, Demosthenes, vol. 1, p. 373); Sostratus, the notorious villain of Alexander, 4, may be either this pirate or the man condemned for his misdeeds by Diodorus, XIX. 3 (cf. however, ibid. XIX. 71).

MINOS

Let this pirate, Sostratus, be cast into Pyriphlegethon, the temple-robber be torn apart by Chimera, and the tyrant he stretched alongside Tityus, Hermes, and have his liver too torn by the vultures; but you good ones go off with all speed to the Elysian Fields, and live in the Isles of the Blest, as a reward for your just dealings in life.

SOSTRATUS

Listen, Minos, and see if what I say is just.

MINOS

Listen again now? Haven’t you already been found guilty of wickedness, Sostratus, and of committing all these murders?

SOSTRATUS

I admit I have, but consider whether it will be just for me to be punished.

MINOS

Of course it will, if it is just to pay the proper penalty. 5

SOSTRATUS

But answer me this, Minos. My question will be a short one.

MINOS

Speak on, then, only be brief, so that we can settle the other cases at once.
