On the Mysteries— Introduction Si5 Analysis 835 Text and Translation 338 vi PREFACE The text upon which the present translation is based is that of I. Bekker (1822) ; but I have not hesitated to introduce such alterations and corrections as the fresh manuscript evidence and detailed linguistic study of the last hundred years have made necessary or probable. The critical apparatus, while by no means exhaustive, will, I hope, prove full enough to enable the reader to appreciate for himself the rela- tive value of the principal sources from which the text of Antiphon and Andocides derives. Of the surviving fragments all those are printed which possess any historical or literary importance. It appeared beyond the scope of the present volume to include isolated words quoted by the ancient lexico- graphers as grammatical rarities. These are readily accessible in existing editions of the two authors and are of no interest to the general reader. In regard to the translation itself I need say only that I have aimed at being both accurate and readable, but am fully conscious that I have too often failed to be either. I should, however, like to take this oppor- tunity of thanking many friends for their sugges- tions and advice, particularly the present Warden of Merton, Sir John Miles, whose critical acumen and long experience of comparative law have re- peatedly saved me from error; Mr. R. G. C. Levens, MINOR ATTIC ORATORS, I my former tutor, who has put me still further in his debt by reading much of the translation in proof and offering valuable criticisms ; and Professor H. T. Wade-Gery, who has always been ready with advice upon the many historical problems presented by Antiphon. I must also express my gratitude to the proprietors of the Bibliotheca Teubneriana for their courteous permission to reprint, as it stands, Thal- heim's text of the first four columns of the papyrus fragments of Antiphon's Uepl t^s /leTao-Tao-ews, to- gether with his critical apparatus. K. J. Maidmeni August 1940 THE MANUSCRIPTS ANTIPHON.—When Bekker published his edition of the Attic Orators in 1822, he relied upon four manuscripts for the reconstruction of the text of Antiphon. These manuscripts were : (1) Crippsianus (Brit. Mus. Bumeianus 95), thirteenth century . .A (2) Laurentianus, fifteenth century . B (3) Marcianus, fifteenth century . L (4) Vratislaviensis, sixteenth century . Z The contents of all four were the same, viz. : Andocides, Isaeus, Dinarchus, Antiphon, and Lycur- gus, together with a number of short pieces attributed to Gorgias, Alcidamas, and others. WTiile regarding A, the earhest, as of the first importance, Bekker held that B, L, and Z represented an independent, if inferior, tradition, and they consequently occupy a prominent place in his critical apparatus. In 1829 Dobson collated yet another ms. from the British Museum, the fifteenth century Burneianus 96 (M), and attempted to show that it must rank at least as high as Bekker's B, L, and Z. It has since been con- clusively proved, however, that B, L, Z, and M derive from one another in the oi'der B L M Z, and that B itself is wholly dependent upon A.<* All four there- » Cf. Jahrb.f. Phil. 1877, p. 673, Hermes, xvii., p. 385. and i2/t«mk ^iM.xL, p. 387. , ^liniiwnou jqn-jeuiiBiti i^j-jsq XT ; MINOR A'lTIC ORATORS, I fore lose their claim to the resj>ect shown them by their early editors. But the supremacy of A itself has been seriously challenged since attention was drawn by Maetzner in 1838 to an Oxford ms. of the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century, now known as N (Bodl. Misc. 208). N, it is clear, is independent of A, though closely related to it—both, in factj may be descended directly from a common archetype—and is of equal importance for the deter- mination of the text. In the present edition the evidence of both mss. has been allowed full weight neither shows a marked superiority over the other, and the choice, not infrequently offered, between two equally acceptable variants, must depend less upon the ms. in which each occurs than upon the intuition of the editor and his conception of what Antiphon could or could not have written. Both MSS. have been corrected by more than one hand. A contains corrections both by the copyist himself (A corr.), which generally find confirmation in N and are clearly derived from a common archetype, and also by a second hand (A corr.*). These last are not so certainly based upon ms. authority and cease abruptly at § 84 of the De Caede Herodis. In N the correctioas are of the same twofold character. The copyist has himself revised his work from the original (N corr.), while here and there a later hand or hands can also be detected at work (N corr.*) ; these later correc- tions in N, however, are the merest conjectures and can be of little use in the reconstruction of the text. ANDOCIDES.—Here again the edition of Bekker rested upon A, B, L, and Z, with the addition of Ambrosii^nus D 42 sup. (Q), a fourteenth century paper manuscript containing the last two speeches THE MANUSCRIPTS of Andocides and the first two of Isaeus. Q, while independent of A, must be ranked below it. It is occasionally of use in supplying an omission in A, and is valuable as in the main confirming A's readings ; but it has suffered from well meant attempts to smooth out the roughness of Andocides' style at the cost of accuracy and contains frequent lacunae. In effect, then, A remains our principal authority for the De Pace and In Alcibiadem, and our sole authority for the De Mysteriis and the De Reditu. Once again it seems possible to distinguish the work of two cor- rectors. The first is clearly the copyist himself. The second, who uses a slightly darker ink, but is other- wise almost identical with the first, differs from the A corr.2 of Antiphon in that he is clearly making his corrections from the same original as the copyist. In view of the close correspondence between the two hands, both will be referred to without distinction as A corr. Tiii ANTIPHON LIFE OF ANTIPHON Antiphon was born either shortly before or shortly after the year 480." He died at about the age of seventy in 411. Thus, like his younger contem- poraries, Thucydides and Socrates, he saw the swift gro^vth of the Athenian empire, its brief brilliance, its inevitable decline ; and, like them, he was in- fluenced profoundly by the release of those energies of the spirit and the intellect which, even in his lifetime, made Athens the focus of Hellenic culture. Of his family little is known ; but the fact that his grandfather had been a devoted supporter of the Peisistratidae ^ is significant of the political traditions which he was brought up to respect. The state- ment that his father, Sophilus, was a sophist " can hardly be more than an unlucky guess, as he must have been an old man before the full force of the " Sources for life of Antiphon : Thucyd. viii. 68, [Plutarch], Vit. X Or., Philostratus, Vit. i. 15, Photius, cod. 259. Of these the two last are derived from the Pseudo- Plutarch, who drew in his turn upon Caecilius of Calactfi writing in the Augustan period. Many of the statements of the Pseudo-Plutarch, PhUostratus, and Photius are vitiated by the confusion which existed in ancient times between Antiphon the orator, Antiphon the sophist, Antiphon the tragic poet, and a fourth Antiphon put to death by the Thirty Tyrants. * Tlepl TTJs ixeTaardaeciys, fragment 1. ' [Plutarch], § 2. 2 ; LIFE OF ANTIPHON sophistic movement was felt at Athens ; and when we are told in addition that Alcibiades was among his pupils, it is hard not to believe that he has been confused with Socrates. Antiphon himself, however, must early have become interested in the new culture which made its first appearance with the visit of Protagoras of Abdera to Athens c. 450 and thrust its roots ever deeper during the succeeding generation. But his gifts were not those of a Hippias or Prodicus he was no encyclopaedist.

  • Resounding Mysteries: Sound and Silence in the Eleusinian Soundscape
    Body bar (print) issn 2057–5823 and bar (online) issn 2057–5831 Religion Article Resounding mysteries: sound and silence in the Eleusinian soundscape Georgia Petridou Abstract The term ‘soundscape’, as coined by the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer at the end of the 1960s, refers to the part of the acoustic environment that is per- ceivable by humans. This study attempts to reconstruct roughly the Eleusinian ‘soundscape’ (the words and the sounds made and heard, and those others who remained unheard) as participants in the Great Mysteries of the two Goddesses may have perceived it in the Classical and post-Classical periods. Unlike other mystery cults (e.g. the Cult of Cybele and Attis) whose soundscapes have been meticulously investigated, the soundscape of Eleusis has received relatively little attention, since the visual aspect of the Megala Mysteria of Demeter and Kore has for decades monopolised the scholarly attention. This study aims at putting things right on this front, and simultaneously look closely at the relational dynamic of the acoustic segment of Eleusis as it can be surmised from the work of well-known orators and philosophers of the first and second centuries ce.

  • An Athenian Law on Silver Coinage
    AN ATHENIAN LAW ON SILVER COINAGE (PLATES 25-27) AMONG the many remarkableepigraphic discoveries of the recent Agora Excava- -tions one of the most important for students of Greek numismatics and Athenian political institutions is the complete marble stele discussed in this paper. Valuable new evidence about the Nomothetai, the circulation of silver coins in Athens and Peirai- eus, and about a hitherto little-known official, the Dokimastes, is preserved in consider- able detail in this document.

  • Isocrates and the Rhetorical Creation of Europe: the Medium As
    Isocrates & Europe - 1 Isocrates and the Rhetorical Creation of Europe: The Medium as Message I. Introduction: Overview The idea that Isocrates helped create the concept of transnationalism that fostered Europe both as an idea and as an eventual political union is common fare in rhetorical studies. De Romilly (1992) writes that “Isocrates was perhaps the first in antiquity to focus his political theories on the idea of Europe” (p. 2). Isocrates anticipated “the idea of Europe” (Hariman, 2004, p. 231) and used the words Europen and Europes 13 times in his essays. But, to date, critical exploration of Isocrates’ role in developing the idea of Europe has primarily dealt with the content of his works – with his eloquent and relentless focus on panhellenism and the related conflict between Europe and Asia. This paper, however, will focus on medium rather than message. It will focus on Isocrates’ pioneering use of a new medium – written documents/syggrammata – and the role that the new rhetorical medium played in forming Europe. The most famous passage in the Isocratean canon, the so-called Hymn to Logos (Jaeger, 1944/1971), which first appeared in Nicocles (5-9) and was repeated in Antidosis (253-257), holds that speech/logos is a civic and political unifier, by means of which “we have come together and founded cities and made laws and invented arts” (Nicocles 6). Yet before Isocrates, who was “the first individual who could be termed a ‘writer’ in the modern sense of the term” (Lentz, 1989), logos and its community-building powers Isocrates & Europe - 2 traveled primarily orally: Cities, alliances, arts, and laws were built through face-to-face communication.

  • The Prohibition of Just and Unjust Homicide in Antiphon's Tetralogies Michael Gagarin
    The Prohibition of Just and Unjust Homicide in Antiphon's "Tetralogies" Gagarin, Michael Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Jan 1, 1978; 19, 4; Periodicals Archive Online pg. 291 The Prohibition of Just and Unjust Homicide in Antiphon's Tetralogies Michael Gagarin THE END of the last century serious doubts were raised, A especially by Dittenberger,l concerning the legal accuracy of the Tetralogies ascribed to Antiphon. A rebuttal by Lipsius2 explained several of the alleged discrepancies between the Tetralogies and Athenian law, but in his reply to Lipsius Dittenberger3 stuck firmly to one point above all: that the prohibition /L~7"€ oLKaLwc /L~7"€ &OLKWC &1TOK'TELVELV, which is quoted four times in the Second and Third Tetralogies (3.2.9,4 3.3.7, 4.2.3, 4.4.8), is clearly inconsistent with Athenian homicide law, which from the time of Drakon recognized that certain cases of homicide were lawful and went unpunished.s Following Dittenberger some critics6 have accepted this inconsistency and taken it as part of the evidence for the 'sophistic', non-legal and non-Antiphontic nature of the Tetralogies. Others have sought to ex­ plain the inconsistency and to reconcile the prohibition of just and unjust homicide with Athenian law. PaolF argued that as the city magistrates gradually assumed the legal tasks originally left to self-help, individuals were no longer allowed to kill a criminal themselves except in their own homes but had to bring him (by the process of apagoge) to a magistrate for execu­ tion. This change, he argues, was reflected in the law prohibiting all homicides, even those previously considered just.

(UNIVERSITY OF AFRICA) ; FORMERLY LECTURER IN GREEK IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN ; SOMETIME SCHOLAR OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE CAMBRIDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 1922 U PRINTED IN ENGLAND PREFACE Leocrates of Lycurgus has remained, in THEEngland, in comparative obscurity, not having 1 attracted an editor since John Taylor edited it at Cambridge, along with the Midias of Demosthenes, in 1743. Yet the speech is by no means without its merits. It forms, in many ways, an excellent introduction to Attic oratory for younger students. It is easier than Demosthenes, and there is no complex political situation to expound: the issue is simple and direct. And it has a greater variety of interest than either Demosthenes or Lysias. Its very fault of diffuseness, from the purely forensic standpoint, becomes, from an educative point of view, its great virtue. Lycurgus' excursions into ancient history, legend, and the poets, provide, in Livy's phrase, so many deverticula amoena where the student finds refreshment with instruction. The text of the present edition will be found to adhere, in the main, to that of Blass, whose critical commentary I have supplemented with those of Scheibe, Rehdantz and Thalheim.
