Son parcours de vie fut marqué par de nombreux voyages à travers le monde antique, d'Athènes à l'Égypte, et inclut également une accusation de pratique de la magie. Il transforma sa défense devant le tribunal en prestations éloquentes et pleines d'esprit, démontrant sa maîtrise rhétorique et sa profondeur intellectuelle.
