This is the first Oxford Classical Text of the speeches of Antiphon and Andocides, two Athenian orators of the fifth century BCE. An influential statesman, Antiphon of Rhamnus also wrote speeches for clients in court cases, of which three are extant, and three tetralogies consisting of speeches for hypothetical murder trials arguing for both prosecution and defence.  Meer

Antiphon disliked democracy and was an ardent oligarch. Of his fifteen extant works three concern real murder cases. The others are academic exercises.  Meer
