Little is known about his life, but there is a portrait of him in Plato's \u003cb\u003eSymposium\u003c\/b\u003e. He was twice threatened with prosecution in the 420s for his outspoken attacks on the prominent politician Cleon, but in 405 he was publicly honored and crowned for promoting Athenian civic unity in \u003cb\u003eThe Frogs\u003c\/b\u003e.
