It is the first study of its kind since the nineteenth century, filling a significant gap in modern scholarship. The Greek text of the speech is accompanied by a facing English translation, making the work more accessible to a wide scholarly audience. It also includes an extensive introduction covering key historical, socio-political, and legal issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe speech was delivered in a \u003cem\u003egraphe paranomon\u003c\/em\u003e (a public prosecution for introducing an illegal decree) which was brought against Androtion, a well-established Athenian public speaker and intellectual. Demosthenes composed \u003cem\u003eAgainst Androtion\u003c\/em\u003e for Diodoros, the supporting speaker in this trial and an active political figure in the mid-fourth century. In her commentary, Ifigeneia Giannadaki illuminates the legal, socio-political, and historical aspects of the speech, including views on male prostitution and the relationship between sex and politics, complex aspects of Athenian law and procedure, and Athenian politics in the aftermath of the Social War. Giannadaki balances the analysis of important historical and legal issues with a special emphasis on elucidating Demosthenes' rhetorical strategy and argumentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ifigeneia Giannadaki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019878452X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198784524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.40d","brand":"Ifigeneia Giannadaki","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982749860095,"sku":"9780198784524","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71e05e69-1d71-43a8-96e7-950f55a926d8.jpg?v=1683262836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-commentary-on-the-speech-ifigeneia-giannadaki-9780198784524","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
