This edition collects all the surviving evidence for the
fifth-century BCE Athenian sophist Antiphon and presents it
together with a translation and a full commentary, which assesses
its reliability and significance. Although Antiphon is not as
familiar a figure as sophists such as Protagoras and Gorgias,
substantial fragments have survived from his major works, On Truth
and On Concord, including extensive remains preserved on papyrus.
In addition, information about his doctrines is preserved by
ancient writers ranging in time from Aristotle to Simplicius and
beyond. The introduction provides a brief sketch of Antiphon, his
works, and his place in the fifth-century BCE sophistic movement,
including his important contribution to the contemporary debate
over the relation of law (nomos) and nature (physis). It also deals
with the controversial question of the identity of Antiphon the
sophist in relation to Antiphon of Rhamnus and other men of the
same name.
