[58]
To all such feelings the defendant is of
course a stranger by birth and breeding. Many are the outrages and insults that
he has had to submit to when consorting with men who had no love for him but
could pay his price. For such insults, Androtion, it would have been right to
vent your spite, not on the next citizen you meet, not on the women who follow
your own profession, but on the father who gave you such a bringing up.
