Antiphon
480 BCE–411 BCE · Athens
Antiphon (c. 480 - 411 BCE) was the earliest of the canonical "Ten Attic Orators" whose works survive. An Athenian intellectual and speechwriter active in the late fifth century BCE, he composed courtroom speeches, including sets of model speeches for and against imagined homicide cases. He was also a leading figure in the short-lived oligarchic coup of 411 BCE, after which he was tried and executed.
