He it was who once lifted his staff to smite Autolycus, the athlete, whom Xenophon makes the chief character in his ‘Symposium’ and when Autolycus seized him by the legs and threw him down, Lysander did not side with Callibius in his vexation, but actually joined in censuring him, saying that he did not understand how to govern freemen. But the Thirty, to gratify Callibius, soon afterwards put Autolycus to death.
