Most harmless of them is, probably, Aristophanes, the comedy play-writer, who in his play "Clouds" ridicules Socrates and presents him as a sophist, a philosopher twisting the truth at his advantage.
They brought him to court with the charge that he is trying to introduce new deities in the city and that with his teachings he is bringing moral harm to the youth of Athens.
And under this perspective, Anytos may cause my death, but there is no way he can really harm me, i.e.

Anytos the tanner and politician approached, rehearsing a written speech which he was intending to deliver: "Athens or Sparta,--that is the whole question at issue...." Cleon, full of curiosity, interrupted him: "What are you rehearsing, Anytos?" "A speech." "So I heard!
We, Anytos, born down there amid the skins of the tanyard and dog's-dung, we understand our perspiring brothers--we know them by the smell, so to speak.
How fine!" "Socrates," continued Anytos, "are you not glad?" "I am glad that the enemy is beaten." "But not that Cleon has won a victory?" "Yes, it is nearly the same thing." Xantippe seized the opportunity and struck in: "He is not glad, and he does not believe in Cleon." "I know you," concluded Anytos.

 Greek Mythology: DESPOINE Goddess of the Underworld & Spring Growth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
By the side of Demeter stands Artemis [probably also identified with Hekate] wrapped in the skin of a deer, and carrying a quiver on her shoulders, while in one hand she holds a torch, in the other two serpents; by her side a bitch, of a breed suitable for hunting, is lying down.
Those about the sanctuary say that Despoine was brought up by Anytos, who was one of the Titanes [or Kouretes], as they are called...
This is the story of Anytos told by the Arkadians.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.2.29
It is worth noting that in Plato's Apology S. responds to things said by Anytos (29c, 30b8-9), associates Anytos with the charge of corrupting the youth and the warning that S. will do further damage if he is allowed to live (ibid.
Moreover, S. does address the matter of his exercising political influence privately rather than in the Assembly (31c4ff.), and disclaims responsibility for "teaching" anyone who goes on to be "useful" (XRHSTO/S, a political term) or the opposite (33a-b).
We need some further argumentation from Anytos to show that experts perform better when they have the political rights characteristic of a democracy (and perhaps also to show why, on his argument, people who are not expert in anything should have political rights!)

The indications are that Athens already in the 6th century had moved away from the "aristocratic" model which Aristotle proposes as an "ideal polis" and which Finley and others believe actually operated.
The "citizen-lite" in Athens were such because of wealth not because of birth; some of them, like Perikles or Alkibiades, owned land from which they earned their wealth, but others operated, such as Demosthenes, Praxiteles, or Anytos, gained their wealth from businesses which they owned and.
These individuals were not barred from the political operations of the polis nor were they barred from access to the highest levels of society, either in Athens or elsewhere in Greece.

Socrates contended that this activities were so busy that he could not even hold a public office or private business worth mentioning.
Anytos on behalf of the politician, Meletus on behalf of the poets, and Lycon on behalf of the sophists presented the official accusation:
Socrates is a criminal, who corrupts the young and does not believe in the gods whom the state believes in, but other new spiritual things instead.

While all of this is happening, in walks Anytos.
Meno, I'm afraid that Anytos is angry, and I don't wonder, for he thinks firstly, that I am defaming these men, and secondly, he believes he is one of them himself.
Recall that Anytos turns out to be one of Socrates's accusers in one of the later dialogues.

 Tragedy in the Gorgias   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Let me just add two or three points.
This "descent into the inferno of the soul" collapses in one single dialog what was a historical process from Parmenides to Gorgias to Alicibiades and Critias to Anytos and his likes.
That this process explains, in part at least, the trial of Socrates is made clear by the hint given by Callicles to Socrates on what might happen to him if someone were to bring him to court, at the beginning of his "part" (485e-486d), which is about the exact middle of the dialog.

If he wants to say that "some members" (plural) of the Classics list are brain-devouring zombies, he should either have the guts to name some names or apologize to the rest of the list for implying that any of them are in the same category as myself.
(I feel like Socrates, trying to get Meletos -- or maybe it was Anytos, my Plato books are in storage -- to say whether there is anyone else in Athens who corrupts the youth.
Unlike some members of the list, I seldom get a chance to feel like Socrates on trial, and am duly grateful for the small thrill.)
