The Orators and Their Treatment of the Recent Past
This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of it; and the unwillingness of the citizens to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results. Twenty-eight scholars have written chapters to this end, dealing with a wide rang…
Xenophon and the Orators on the Topography of Arginousae and Aegospotami
In his description of the naval battles of Arginousae and Aegospotami Xenophon integrated detailed topographical data into the historical description of war operations because he regarded them as absolutely necessary elements of his text, which was intended as a tool of understanding and interpretation. On the other hand, the orators tend not to use the names of Arginousae and Aegospotami when referring to the episodes which occurred there, and t…
Xenophon on Violence
This volume examines the issue of violence in Xenophon?s works, who lived in circumstances of war for many years. All the papers address issues of violence from different aspects. The exclusive focus on this issue is justified, since no previous detailed study exists on the subject. Most of the chapters focus on the Hellenica, because this work records more aspects of violence than the rest of his works. The volume is more concerned with examinin…
Xenophon and Lysias on the Arginousai Trial
Lysias argues in XII 36 that if the Athenians condemned the Arginousai generals it would be right to condemn the Thirty. This argument implies that the generals were guilty and asserts that there was a strong conviction on the part of the Athenians that they should punish the generals. This is a clever rhetorical argument, which conformed to the Athenian ideology according to which the demos was blameless. However, Lysias avoids mentioning that t…
Xenophon’s Peloponnesian War
The advances in Xenophontic studies of the last generation have still not resulted in a definitive literary treatment of the Hellenica 1-2, so Xenophon's description of the Peloponnesian War deserves closer examination. This book aims to show that Xenophon has crafted his narrative in such a way as to reinforce the opinion of Thucydides, whose work he continued, that the development of the Peloponnesian War depended to a great extent on Persian m…
In Defence of Mantitheus
Lysias presents Mantitheus as an exemplary citizen, a democrat, who participates sentimentally in the misfortunes of Athens, a good son, distinct from the Thirty. His name in the cavalry register is only a part of the problem of the identification of the cavalrymen He is dissociated from dissolute youngsters, a quiet man, a pater familias and a good citizen. He puts Athens' interests above ideologies; he is generous towards his fellow soldiers, b…
Lysias 21
Lysias' 21 st speech "On a charge of taking bribes" is an important example of Attic oratory that sheds significant light on Classical history and society. Delivered after the restoration of democracy in 402 B.C.E., this speech provides information that is critical for our understanding of the relationship between the Athenian demos and aristocrats, Athenian civic institutions (e.g., taxation, liturgies and conscription), religious beliefs, moral…
Xenophon and the Execution of the Athenian Captives at Aegospotami
Adeimantos at Aegospotami
Adeimantos is one of the strangest personalities of Greek history. He is mostly known as a friend and associate of Alcibiades. In his career there are some controversial points, but the strangest of all is his participation in the battle of Aegospotami and his later prosecution by his old colleague Conon as a betrayer of the fleet (Dem. 19.191). Conon’s accusation is repeated in one of Lysias’ speeches; there the prosecutor of Alcibiades the youn…
