Plutarch:

Plutarch alludes to the example "of Aristogeiton of Athens, Antileon of Metaponte, and Melanippus of Aracigas, for:

"these men rose not against tyrants, although they saw how badly they managed affairs, and what drunken tricks they played; yet, when they attempted the chastity of their boy-loves, they retaliated on them, risking their lives, as if they were defending the inviolability of temples and sanctuaries."
