This man debates the student Evodius in his dialogue On Free Choice of the Will, and refuted Pelagius by asking that monk to behold human genitals. He claimed that Lucretia's suicide was not justified since the mental virtue of chastity is untouched by rape and retold an interchange between Alexander the Great and a pirate in one work; in another, he is told "Take it and read" years after going on a mystic experience with his mom Monica, stealing pears from a garden, and witnessing sinful orgies in Carthage.
