This volume provides a detailed, lemmatic, literary commentary on
Demosthenes' speech Against Androtion. It is the first study of its
kind since the nineteenth century, filling a significant gap in
modern scholarship. The Greek text of the speech is accompanied by
a facing English translation, making the work more accessible to a
wide scholarly audience. It also includes an extensive introduction
covering key historical, socio-political, and legal issues. The
speech was delivered in a graphe paranomon (a public prosecution
for introducing an illegal decree) which was brought against
Androtion, a well-established Athenian public speaker and
intellectual. Demosthenes composed Against Androtion for Diodoros,
the supporting speaker in this trial and an active political figure
in the mid-fourth century. In her commentary, Ifigeneia Giannadaki
illuminates the legal, socio-political, and historical aspects of
the speech, including views on male prostitution and the
relationship between sex and politics, complex aspects of Athenian
law and procedure, and Athenian politics in the aftermath of the
Social War. Giannadaki balances the analysis of important
historical and legal issues with a special emphasis on elucidating
Demosthenes' rhetorical strategy and argumentation.
