The Subversive Oratory of Andokides: Politics, Ideology and Decision-Making in Democratic Athens - Cambridge Classical Studies
Anna Missiou
By analysing a selection of speeches of the Athenian orator Andokides and the decisions reached by his audience on each occasion, Dr Missiou demonstrates that the orator had divergent perceptions, values and attitudes from those of his audience on a number of issues. By this means she challenges the criticism that the decisions of the Assembly during this period were irresponsible and irrational.
