 He claimed this distorted perception of his wealth was due to his popularity as a public figure.This is similar to Isocrates’s defense in the "Antidosis" in which he claims he has been indicted due to the fact he is a very successful person, people are jealous of him, and people want to publicly embarrass him.In the "Antidosis", Isocrates is charged with corrupting the youth by teaching them to become good public speakers.
