Three of his speeches are preserved, together with three sets of Tetralogies (four hypothetical paired speeches), whose authenticity is sometimes doubted. Fragments also survive of intellectual treatises on subjects including justice, law, and nature (physis), which are often attributed to a separate Antiphon the Sophist. Were these two Antiphons really one and the same individual, endowed with a wide-ranging mind ready to tackle most of the diverse intellectual interests of his day? Through an analysis of all these writings, this book convincingly argues that they were composed by a single individual, Antiphon the Athenian. Michael Gagarin sets close readings of individual works within a wider discussion of the fifth-century Athenian intellectual climate and the philosophical ferment known as the sophistic movement. This enables him to demonstrate the overall coherence of Antiphon's interests and writings and to show how he was a pivotal figure between the sophists and the Attic orators of the fourth century. In addition, Gagarin's argument allows us to reassess the work of the sophists as a whole, so that they can now be seen as primarily interested in logos (speech, argument) and as precursors of fourth-century rhetoric, rather than in their usual role as foils for Plato.Speeches, addresses, etc., GreekHistory and criticismJustice, Administration ofGreeceAthensHistoryForensic orationsGreeceAthensHistoryOratory, AncientLaw, GreekSophists (Greek philosophy)Athens (Greece)Intellectual lifeAthens (Greece)CivilizationSpeeches, addresses, etc., GreekHistory and criticism.Justice, Administration ofHistory.Forensic orationsHistory.Oratory, Ancient.Law, Greek.Sophists (Greek philosophy)885/.01Gagarin Michael205118MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777511603321Antiphon the Athenian146166UNINA
