Lycurgus

Lycurgus of Athens (c. 390-c. 324 BCE) was an Athenian statesman and orator, counted among the canonical 'Ten Attic Orators.' He is best known for managing Athens' public finances and building program in the decades after the rise of Macedon, and for his austere reputation; one of his courtroom speeches, 'Against Leocrates,' survives. He should not be confused with the legendary Spartan lawgiver of the same name.
