Anytus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anytus can refer to:
- One of the prosecutors of Socrates. The most vehement accuser of Socrates; legend (perhaps unreliable) has it that he was banished from Athens, after the public felt guilty about having Socrates executed. We know that he was one of the leading supporters of the democratic forces in Athens (as opposed the oligarchic forces, who had supported the Thirty Tyrants). Plato also depicts Anytus as an interlocutor in his dialogue the Meno.
- One of the Titans in Greek mythology
