Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: V.I. ANTIPHON of Athens, born in 480 B.C., spent his prime in the great period of Athens but, disliking democracy was himself an ardent oligarch who with others set up a violent short-lived oligarchy in 411. The restored democracy executed him for treason. He had been a writer of speeches for other people involved in litigation. Of the fifteen surviving works three concern real murder-cases, the others being exercises in speech-craft consisting of three 'tetralogies' whereof each tetralogy comprises four skeleton speeches: accuser's; defendant's; accuser's reply; defendant's counter-reply. ANDOCIDES of Athens, born c440 B.C., disliked the extremes of both democracy and oligarchy. Involved in religious scandal in 415 B.C., he went into a money-making exile. After at least two efforts to return, he did so under the amnesty of 403. In 399 he was acquitted on a charge of profaning the 'Mysteries' and in 391-390 took part in an abortive peace embassy to Sparta. Extand speeches are: 'On his Return' (a plea on his second attempt); "On the Mysteries' (a self-defence); 'On the Peace with Sparta'. The speech 'Against Alcibiades' (the notorious politician) is suspect.

Download or read book Dinarchus, Hyperides, and Lycurgus written by and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fifth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece. This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries B.C. in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. This volume combines the surviving speeches of three orators who stand at the end of the classical period. Dinarchus was not an Athenian, but he was called on to write speeches in connection with a corruption scandal (the Harpalus affair) that put an end to the career of Demosthenes. His speeches thus raise many of the vital issues surrounding the Macedonian conquest of Athens and the final years of Athenian democracy. Hyperides was an important public figure who was involved in many of the events described by Dinarchus and Lycurgus. His speeches open a window into many interesting facets of Athenian life. Lycurgus was one of the leading politicians in Athens during the reign of Alexander the Great and put Athenian public finances on a more secure footing. He was also a deeply religious man, who tried to revive Athenian patriotism after the crushing defeat at Chaeronea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Minor Attic Orators: Speeches and Commentary, the Recreations Volume One: Antiphon and Andocides: Volume Two: Lycurgus, Dinarchus, Demades, and Hyperides "The Minor Attic Orators: Speeches and Commentary, the Recreations" offers a comprehensive exploration of the speeches and orations of some of ancient Athens' most influential orators. Divided into two volumes, this collection delves into the works of six notable figures from the golden age of Athenian democracy. Volume One begins with a focus on Antiphon and Andocides, two figures who left lasting imprints on the legal and political landscape of Athens. Through detailed analysis and insightful commentary, readers gain a deeper understanding of Antiphon's rhetorical techniques and his contributions to the development of Athenian law. Meanwhile, Andocides' speeches provide valuable insights into the religious controversies and political intrigues of his time, showcasing his skill as an orator and his role in shaping Athenian history. Volume Two shifts the spotlight to four additional orators: Lycurgus, Dinarchus, Demades, and Hyperides. Lycurgus emerges as a passionate defender of Athenian democracy, while Dinarchus exposes political corruption and advocates for justice. Demades navigates the complexities of Athenian politics with pragmatism and diplomacy, while Hyperides champions individual rights and democratic principles with fervor. Through their speeches, readers witness the dynamic interplay of ideas and ideologies that characterized Athenian society during this pivotal period. Drawing from the Loeb Classical Library's volumes on the Minor Attic Orators (L308 and L395), this collection offers recreations of select speeches accompanied by commentary that contextualizes the orations within their historical and literary contexts. By blending scholarly analysis with engaging recreations, "The Minor Attic Orators" provides both students and enthusiasts of classical literature with a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the speeches of ancient Athens' lesser-known but no less significant orators.

Download or read book Plato and Demosthenes written by William H. F. Altman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universally regarded as Plato’s student in antiquity, it is the eloquent and patriotic orator Demosthenes—not the pro-Macedonian Aristotle who tutored Alexander the Great—who returned to the dangerous Cave of political life, and thus makes it possible to recover the Old Academy. In Plato and Demosthenes: Recovering the Old Academy, William H. F. Altman explores how Demosthenes—along with Phocion, Lycurgus, and Hyperides—add external and historical evidence for the hypothesis that Plato’s brilliant and challenging dialogues constituted the Academy’s original curriculum. Altman rejects the facile view that the eloquent Plato, a master speech-writer as well as the proponent of the transcendent and post-eudaemonist Idea of the Good, was rhetoric’s enemy. He shows how Demosthenes acquired the discipline necessary to become a great orator, first by shouting at the sea and then by summoning the Athenians to self-sacrifice in defense of their waning freedom. Demosthenes thus proved Socrates’ criticism of democracy and the democratic man wrong, just as Plato the Teacher had intended that his best students would, and as he continues to challenge us to do today.

Download or read book Greek Rhetoric of the 4th Century BC written by Evangelos Alexiou and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction between orator and audience, the passions and distrust held by many concerning the predominance of one individual, but also the individual’s struggle as an advisor and political leader, these are the quintessential elements of 4th century rhetoric. As an individual personality, the orator draws strength from his audience, while the rhetorical texts mirror his own thoughts and those of his audience as part of a two-way relationship, in which individuality meets, opposes, and identifies with the masses. For the first time, this volume systematically compares minor orators with the major figures of rhetoric, Demosthenes and Isocrates, taking into account other findings as well, such as extracts of Hyperides from the Archimedes Palimpsest. Moreover, this book provides insight into the controversy surrounding the art of discourse in the rhetorical texts of Anaximenes, Aristotle, and especially of Isocrates who took up a clear stance against the philosophy of the 4th century.

Download or read book Ascent to the Beautiful written by William H. F. Altman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Ascent to the Beautiful, William H. F. Altman completes his five-volume reconstruction of the Reading Order of the Platonic dialogues. This book covers Plato’s elementary dialogues, grappling from the start with F. D. E. Schleiermacher, who created an enduring prejudice against the works Plato wrote for beginners. Recognized in antiquity as the place to begin, Alcibiades Major was banished from the canon but it was not alone: with the exception of Protagoras and Symposium, Schleiermacher rejected as inauthentic all seven of the dialogues this book places between them. In order to prove their authenticity, Altman illuminates their interconnections and shows how each prepares the student to move beyond self-interest to gallantry, and thus from the doctrinal intellectualism Aristotle found in Protagoras to the emergence of philosophy as intermediate between wisdom and ignorance in Symposium, en route to Diotima’s ascent to the transcendent Beautiful. Based on the hypothesis that it was his own eminently teachable dialogues that Plato taught—and bequeathed to posterity as his Academy’s eternal curriculum—Ascent to the Beautiful helps the reader to imagine the Academy as a school and to find in Plato the brilliant teacher who built on Homer, Thucydides, and Xenophon.
