Now, he wasn't offering a cheap sarcastic remark here. He was being completely honest, while also being allegorical: thanking Asclepius from healing of the "sickness of life by the cure of death".

There's a second layer: while pointing to this promised sacrifice he obviously is condemning the hipocrisy of the jury, who used "impiety" as an excuse for what was a blatant political scapegoating. He used irony through clear sincerity.

This is common with him in other situations too. His story with the oracle claiming him as the wisest man in Athens follows a similar pattern in the mixing of honesty and irony.
