Dinarchus or Dinarch Corinth , c. 361 BC c. 291 BC was a logographer speech writer in Ancient Greece. He was the last of the ten Attic orators included in the Alexandrian Canon compiled by Aristophanes of Byzantium and Aristarchus of Samothrace in the third century BC. A son of Sostratus or, according to the Suda , Socrates , Dinarchus settled at Athens early in life, and when not more than twenty five was already active as a logographer legal logographer &mdash a writer of speeches for the law courts. As a metic , he was unable to take part in the debates. He had been the pupil both of Theophrastus and of Demetrius Phalereus , and had early acquired a certain fluency and versatility of style. In 324 the Areopagus , after inquiry, reported that nine men had taken bribes from Harpalus , the fugitive treasurer of Alexander the Great Alexander . Ten public prosecutors were appointed. Dinarchus wrote, for one or more of these prosecutors, the three speeches which are still extant Against Demosthenes , Against Aristogeiton , and Against Philocles . The sympathies of Dinarchus were in favor of an Athenian oligarchy under Macedon ian control but it should be remembered that he was not an Athenian citizen. Aeschines and Demades had no such excuse. In the Harpalus affair, Demosthenes as well as the others accused, were probably innocent. Yet Hypereides , the most fiery of the patriots, was on the same side as Dinarchus. Under the regency of his old master, Demetrius Phalereus, Dinarchus exercised much political influence. The years 317 307 were the most prosperous of his life. On the fall of Demetrius Phalereus and the restoration of the democracy by Demetrius Poliorcetes , Dinarchus was condemned to death and withdrew into exile at Chalcis in Euboea . About 292, thanks to his friend Theophrastus , he was able to return to Attica, and took up his abode in the country with a former associate, Proxenus.

italictitle Against Eratosthenes is a speech by Lysias , one of the ten Attic orators . In the speech, Lysias accuses Eratosthenes statesman Eratosthenes , a member of the Thirty Tyrants who ruled Athens following the Peloponnesian War , of the murder of his brother, Polemarchus around 403 BCE . Overview Lysias s career as a speech writer, or Logographer legal logographer , was interrupted by the occupation of the Thirty Tyrants, an Oligarchy oligarchic Military junta junta placed in power by the Sparta ns following their victory against Athens in the Peloponnesian War, which ended in 404 BCE. Lysias, along with a small group of fellow metic s, including his brother, Polemarchus, were arrested by the pro Spartan regime on charges of general hostility and resistance to the Thirty Tyrants. According to Lysias, the group was arrested on trumped up charges just so the Thirty Tyrants could have a reason to confiscate their substantial wealth and property. The subsequent execution of Polemarchus is one of the subjects of the speech. Eratosthenes was a member of the Thirty Tyrants who oversaw the arrest of Lysias, Polemarchus, and their fellow metics. The speech was written following the collapse of the oligarchy and the restoration of democracy in Athens in 403 BCE. Lysias s speech Considered to be among the most famous of his works, Lysias is both the author and the speaker in the speech. Upon the restoration of democracy in Athens, a general amnesty was granted to protect the former members of the oligarchy. This amnesty meant that the officials of the oligarchic government were protected from prosecution from acts they committed before the democratic government was restored except in cases where they personally committed a murder. The members of the Thirty Tyrants were not granted amnesty until they successfully defended themselves at their euthunai , a process in which government officials account for their actions that took place during their terms.
