Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the scholarly debate surrounding the authenticity of the "testimonia" (legal statements) within Demosthenes' oration against Neaera, a notorious courtesan in 4th-century Athens. The author argues that these testimonies, which were allegedly given by Neaera's associates and used to discredit her, were likely fabricated by the orator himself to strengthen his case. The book meticulously examines each of the testimonies, analyzes their language and structure, and compares them to other legal documents from the period. Through rigorous philological analysis, the author reveals inconsistencies and improbabilities within the testimonies, casting doubt on their genuineness. By challenging the authenticity of these key pieces of evidence, the book sheds new light on the historical accuracy of the oration and raises important questions about the role of rhetoric in Athenian legal proceedings. Ultimately, the book contributes to our understanding of the complex interplay between law, politics, and oratory in ancient Athens.
