Why should Lycon father of Autolycus not be "confused" with Lycon Socrates' accusser? Seeing as how nothing is known about Lycon, it seems silly to automatically assume the two Lycon's are not one and the same Furius

Why is the assumption that he is the same any less silly? Is there any particular reason to assume that they are the same besides the fact that they share the same name? Since we don't know anything about Lycon Socrates' accuser, and since we do know that distinct people can have the same name, isn't it more prudent to assume that these two are distinct until proven otherwise?Isokrates 02:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
