Abstract
Abstract Lysias presents Mantitheus as an exemplary citizen, a democrat, who participates sentimentally in the misfortunes of Athens, a good son, distinct from the Thirty. His name in the cavalry register is only a part of the problem of the identification of the cavalrymen He is dissociated from dissolute youngsters, a quiet man, a pater familias and a good citizen. He puts Athens' interests above ideologies; he is generous towards his fellow soldiers, brave and more courageous than Thrasybulus, a charismatic soldier, ready for self-sacrifice, supported by all the social strata of Athens. He does not want to arouse envy, asks what he deserves and respects the Council.
