Fourth-century Athenian orators of epitaphioi logoi and other Athenian panegyric attempt to portray fifth-century tragedy as fundamentally encomiastic of Athens. This is borne out by the rhetorical reception of two 'epitaphioi mythoi', i.e. myths handled by both tragedians and orators: Erechtheus' repulsion of Eumolpus' invasion of Athens and Theseus' efforts to secure the burial of the 'Seven against Thebes'. The orators' 'encomiastic' view of tragedy marks a new departure in Athenian intellectual history and should be read against the background of other attempts to curate the city's tragic heritage in the third quarter of the fourth century
