The main accuser who formally charged Socrates in Athenian courts with impiety (not believing in the city's gods and inventing new ones) and corrupting the youth. He is an obscure poet and shows that his arguments are shallow when cross-examined by Socrates in a philosophical context.
As learned from the introduction of the text, he is a young and unknown person interested in poetry and literature. He brought the case as a puppet for stronger political figures like Anytus.
Described by Socrates (as stated in the Euthyphro) as someone with 'long straight hair, a thin beard, and a hooked nose'.
Sokrates
The philosopher whom he hates but by whose intelligence he is crushed.
