"Parsimony may be the end of this book."
"Some four centuries after his death,[citation needed] Phalaris was the object of a literary reinvention whereby he came to be seen as a humane leader who was a patron of philosophy and literature. This new reputation was due to a paradoxical defence of his character attributed to Lucian, and to his supposed authorship of an epistolary corpus. In 1699, Richard Bentley published an influential Dissertation on the Epistles of Phalaris in which he proved that the epistles were spurious." --Wikipedia
