Aristophon in Greek language Greek A lived 4th century BC was native of the deme of Azenia in Attica . r aesc1 aesc2 He lived about and after the end of the Peloponnesian war . In 412 BC, Aristophon, Laespodias , and Melesias were sent to Sparta as ambassadors by the oligarchical government of the The Four Hundred oligarchy Four Hundred . r thuc 8.86 In the archon ship of Euclid, 404 BC, after Athens was delivered of the thirty Tyrants , Aristophon proposed a law which, though said to be beneficial to the republic, yet caused great uneasiness and troubles in many families at Athens for it ordained that no one should be regarded as a citizen of Athens whose mother was not a freeborn woman. r ath 13 vl He also proposed various other laws, by which he acquired great popularity and the full confidence of the people r dem1 . Their great number may be inferred from his own statement r aesc2 that he was accused 75 times of having made illegal proposals, but that he had always come off victorious. His influence with the people is most manifest from his accusation of Iphicrates and Timotheus general Timotheus , two men to whom Athens was much indebted 354 BC . He charged them with having accepted bribes from the Chios Chians and Rhodes Rhodians , and the people condemned Timotheus on the mere assertion of Aristophon. r nepos 3 aris 2.23 din1 din2 After this event, but still in 354 BC, he came forward in the assembly to defend the law of Leptines against Demosthenes . The latter, who often mentions him, treats the aged Aristophon with great respect, and reckons him among the most eloquent orators. r dem2 This event is the last record of Arstophon, and he seems to have died soon after. No record of his orations has come down to us.

Another arrangement was then adopted, by which the command of the entire force was to be held by each state alternately for five days. r xen 7.1 It seems to have been about 359 BC that he was sent out with a squadron to the Hellespont , where the Athenians hoped that the Euboea n adventurer, Charidemus , the friend of Cephisodotus, would, according to his promise made through the latter, co operate with him in re annexing the Thracian Chersonese to their dominion. But Charidemus turned his arms against them, and marched in particular to the relief of Alopeconnesus Thrace Alopeconnesus , a town on the south east of the Chersonese, of which Cephisodotus had been ordered to make himself master under the pretext of dislodging a band of pirates who had taken refuge there. Unable to cope with Charidemus, he entered into a compromise by which the place was indeed yielded to Athens, but on terms so disadvantageous that he was recalled from his command and brought to trial for his life.
