A more intimate and vivid glimpse of Athenian political life during
and directly after the Peloponnesian War is provided by the speech
of Andokides On the Mysteries than by any other work: it is also a
major source of legal and prosopographical information, and an
important specimen of Attic prose style in the most crucial period
of its development. Despite this it has been unduly neglected in
recent years, partly for lack of an up-to-date English commentary.
This new paperback version of MacDowell's standard edition (first
published in hardback in 1962) is intended both for undergraduates
and professional scholars. The revised text (notably more
conservative than other modern texts) with apparatus criticus is
supplemented with a full introduction surveying the life and trial
of Andokides and his literary style; a note on the basis of the
text; a detailed commentary; and appendices which discuss
Andokides' innocence or guilt, the chronology and political
significance of events in 415 BC, the legal revision ordered by the
decree of Teisamenos, the date of the trial and the speech, and
aspects of the historical and stylistic background relevant to the
work.
