Menon (Phidias)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Menon (in Greek Mενων) was a workman working with Phidias, who was bribed by Pericles' enemies to inform against Phidias. According to Plutarch he sat himself in the market-place begging for protection if he were to bring charges against Phidias. He was subsequently provided with safety by the state and exempted from public duties. (Plutarch, Pericles 31)
