Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest of the ten Attic orators, Antiphon of Rhamnus was an important figure in fifth century BC Athenian political and intellectual life. Disliking democracy, he was an ardent oligarch, who helped set up a violent short-lived oligarchy in 411. The restored democracy executed him for treason. Antiphon was a logographer — a professional author of judicial discourse, writing speeches for other people involved in litigation. His surviving speeches reveal a vast knowledge of oratorical studies, a vivid flavour of Athenian court life and gripping details about real life murder cases in the ancient world.
