The protector of the people, having a mob entirely at his disposal, is not restrained from shedding the blood of kinsmen. By the favorite method of false accusation, he brings them into court and murders them, making the life of man to disappear, and with unholy tongue and lips tasting the blood of his fellow citizen. Plato. The Republic. Book 8.
