Athenian, Lycon, was offended by Socrates. In the Apology, the term "interrogations" was chosen to sometimes describe the probing and intimidating nature of the questions. In the Apology, Socrates refers to Lycon as representative of the entire body of local orators. In the notes it shows that he, like Meletus, Lycon has no known reputation beyond their being referred to in the dialog as local persons.
