Abstract

"Sozomena" means "saved" in Greek. The series is dedicated to the recovery and presentation of texts that have only survived from Greek or Roman antiquity thanks to extraordinary find circumstances. It is primarily concerned with papyri, thousands of which await deciphering in universities and libraries. The primary intention of the series is to edit and interpret texts, but methods of recovery and presentation will also be discussed, so that different types of books will be published: editions of texts, commentaries, monographs and collections. The main language is English, together with German and Italian.

Abstract

L'orateur athénien Démade, connu pour l'essentiel par des sources tardives, est souvent représenté comme l'exemple achevé du politicien traître et fourbe. Un examen des rares textes littéraires contemporains et des inscriptions qui ont survécu révèle une réalité plus nuancée. Ces pages n'ont pas vocation à réhabiliter Démade. Elles s'attachent à montrer comment et pourquoi, par le jeu des oppositions de personnes, les sources hellénistiques et romaines ont créé l'image du repoussoir absolu puis, dans quelles conditions l'historiographie des xixe et xxe siècles a accepté et amplifié cette position. The Athenian orator Demades, mostly known from late sources, has often been depicted as the perfect example of the treacherous and disloyal politician. Examination of the few surviving contemporary texts and inscriptions reveals a more subtle reality. This book is not meant to rehabilitate Demades. Its main object is to show how and why, through opposed views and people, the Greek and Roman sources have built an image of the complete foil and in what conditions the nineteenth and twentieth centuries historians have adopted and amplified this view.
