Description

Explore the connection between oratory, history, and politics in classical Athens with this Oxford Classical Monographs publication. In the democratic landscape of Athens, mass citizen audiences in lawcourts, the Assembly, and the Council frequently encountered politicians who used the city's past to persuade their listeners. This work examines these dynamics by focusing on two mid-fourth-century political adversaries: Demosthenes and Aeschines. While many scholars study how Athenians recalled their history through collective processes, this study analyzes how individuals manipulated historical narratives for persuasive ends. This book provides a detailed look at how political speech and historical memory functioned in practice during one of ancient Greece's most significant eras. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in classical rhetoric and Athenian political life.

Key Features

Readers can learn how Athenian politicians and litigants manipulated the city's past for persuasive ends in lawcourts and the Assembly.

This volume is part of the respected Oxford Classical Monographs series from OUP Oxford.

The study offers a practical look at how historical memory worked within democratic Athenian civic occasions.
