Hyperides
390 BCE–322 BCE · Athens
Hyperides (c. 390 - 322 BCE) was an Athenian statesman and orator, one of the canonical "Ten Attic Orators." An ally of Demosthenes, he was a leading voice urging Athens to resist Macedonian domination. His speeches were largely lost for centuries and are known mainly from papyrus fragments recovered in modern times; ancient critics praised the wit and charm of his style.
