He was a
      contemporary and enemy of Alcibiades, against whom he brought forward witnesses, and spoke
      very vehemently in the affair concerning the mutilation of the Hermae, <date when-custom="-415">B.
       C. 415</date>. (<bibl n="Plut. Alc. 19">Plut. Alc. 19</bibl>; Andocid. <hi rend="ital">de
       Myster.</hi> § 27.) It was chiefly owing to his exertions that Alcibiades was banished.
      After this event, Androcles was for a time at the head of the democratical party; but during
      the revolution of <date when-custom="-411">B. C. 411</date>, in which the democracy was overthrown,
      and the oligarchical government of the Four Hundred was established, Androcles was put to
      death. (<bibl n="Thuc. 8.65">Thuc. 8.65</bibl>.) Aristotle (<bibl n="Aristot. Rh. 2.23">Aristot. Rh. 2.23</bibl>) has preserved a sentence from one of Androcles' speeches, in which
      he used an incorrect figure. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.L.S">L.S</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
