Document Summary
Their warning that you must be careful not to be taken in by me, because i am a clever speaker. I was not a clever speaker at all unless indeed they call a clever speaker one who speaks the truth. I would admit to being an orator. I have been accused before you by many people for a long time now, for many years in fact, by people who spoke not a word of truth. It is those people i fear more than anytus and his crowd, though they too are dangerous. They have taken hold of most of you since childhood, and make persuasive accusations against me, yet without an ounce more truth in them. Those accusers who have spread such rumor about me are the dangerous ones. Their audience believes, that people who inquire into those matters also fail to acknowledge the gods.
