Apollodorus son of Pasion

Apollodoros, son of Pasion (born c. 394 BCE), was a wealthy Athenian whose father was a former slave who had risen to become a prominent banker and citizen. He was a frequent and combative litigant, and several speeches preserved in the collected works of the orator Demosthenes were written for him to deliver in his many lawsuits - including the well-known speech "Against Neaira." These speeches are a rich source for Athenian law, banking, family life, and citizenship.
