Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing history of documents inserted into ancient Greek orations during the fourth century BCE. The author argues that these documents were not composed by the orators themselves, but rather by erudite individuals who sought to bolster the credibility of the orations by incorporating seemingly authentic evidence. Examining a wide range of these documents, the author meticulously analyzes their language, structure, and content, revealing inconsistencies and fabrications that betray their inauthenticity. This meticulous study not only sheds light on the methods employed by ancient forgers but also offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between rhetoric and historiography in Athenian society. The book's findings challenge long-held assumptions about the authenticity of these documents, prompting a reevaluation of their role in shaping our understanding of Athenian history and law. By exposing the artifice behind these documents, the author enhances our appreciation for the sophisticated strategies employed by ancient Greeks to persuade and inform their audiences.
