Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- Alcibiades persuaded the Athenian assembly to finance a naval expedition to Sicily. Under the guise of aiding Segesta, it would attack Syracuse. Alcibiades would be one of the three leaders of the expedition.
- The night before the expedition set sail, a group of drunken youths desecrated religious statues throughout the city.
- Alcibiades was blamed and charged with blasphemy.
