		405, the Athenian council, in which the oligarchical party had a majority, and which had been denounced by Cleophon as a band of traitorous conspirators, were instigated by Satyrus to imprison him and bring him to trial on a charge of neglect of military duty, which, as Lysias says, was a mere pretext.
		Before a regular court of justice he would doubtless have been acquitted, and one Nicomachus therefore, who had been entrusted with a commission to collect the laws of Solon, was suborned by his enemies to fabricate a law for the occasion, investing the council with a share in the jurisdiction of the case.
		This law is even said to have been shamelessly produced on the very day of the trial, and Cleophon of course was condemned and put to death,—not, however, without opposition from the people, since Xenophon speaks of his losing his life in a sedition.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| The Athenian Constitution by Aristotle
		It was Cleophon who first granted the twoobol donation for the theatrical performances, and for some time it continued to be given; but then Callicrates of Paeania ousted him by promising to add a third obol to the sum.
		After Cleophon the popular leadership was occupied successively by the men who chose to talk the biggest and pander the most to the tastes of the majority, with their eyes fixed only on the interests of the moment.
		In this they were led astray by Cleophon, who appeared in the Assembly drunk and wearing his breastplate, and prevented peace being made, declaring that he would never accept peace unless the Lacedaemonians abandoned their claims on all the cities allied with them.

		Spartan admirals had recognized the strategic vulnerability of Athens in Hellespont, but had been inactive and allowed Athenians to regain upper hand; latter win engagements at Abydos and Cynossema, reopening thereby the access to the Black Sea.
		Sparta sues for peace on the basis of the status quo (410), but offer rejected by Cleophon, the lyre maker and radical democratic leader until his death in 404.
		Sailors could not be picked up; generals held responsible, tried and convicted en masse by the 500 (illegal).

	The Poetics - 22 (Aristotle on the Art of Poetry)
		The perfection of Diction is for it to be at once clear and not mean.
		The clearest indeed is that made up of the ordinary words for things, but it is mean, as is shown by the poetry of Cleophon and Sthenelus.
		On the other hand the Diction becomes distinguished and non-prosaic by the use of unfamiliar terms, i.e.

		The perfection of style is to be clear without being mean.
		The clearest style is that which uses only current or proper words; at the same time it is mean:--witness the poetry of Cleophon and of Sthenelus.
		That diction, on the other hand, is lofty and raised above the commonplace which employs unusual words.

	The Orations of Lysias by Lysias eBook by BookRags
		Then Theramenes, plotting against the people, rose and said if you would appoint him ambassador with full powers he would bring it about that the walls should not be destroyed, nor any other evil injure the state.
		And you, persuaded, chose him as plenipotentiary, although the year before you rejected him after he was chosen Strategus, not thinking him well disposed to the people.
		Those who remained here and planned to overthrow the government, brought Cleophon to trial on the plea that he did not come to the camp to sleep, but really because he spoke against tearing down the walls.

		Your language will be appropriate if it expresses emotion and character, and if it corresponds to its subject.
		"Correspondence to subject" means that we must neither speak casually about weighty matters, nor solemnly about trivial ones; nor must we add ornamental epithets to commonplace nouns, or the effect will be comic, as in the works of Cleophon, who can use phrases as absurd as "O queenly fig-tree".
		To express emotion, you will employ the language of anger in speaking of outrage; the language of disgust and discreet reluctance to utter a word when speaking of impiety or foulness; the language of exultation for a tale of glory, and that of humiliation for a tale of and so in all other cases.

	Poetics - Aristotle - Philosophy Index
		So again in language, whether prose or verse unaccompanied by music.
		Homer, for example, makes men better than they are; Cleophon as they are; Hegemon the Thasian, the inventor of parodies, and Nicochares, the author of the Deiliad, worse than they are.
		The same thing holds good of Dithyrambs and Nomes; here too one may portray different types, as Timotheus and Philoxenus differed in representing their Cyclopes.
