Abstract

Eratosthenes arrested Polemarchus, following the orders of the Thirty to seize the money of the metics, and then he brought him to the Council, where he was condemned to death without a proper trial. Eratosthenes could not deny that he had arrested Polemarchus but he hoped to be acquitted by distorting the recent past, which the jurors ignored in all its details. An examination of the questions and answers of Lysias and Eratosthenes, and an assessment of their arguments shows that Lysias was right to regard his opponent as guilty, but the latter still had chances to be acquitted.

吕西亚斯审问埃拉托色尼关于谋杀波勒马科斯的事(吕西亚斯书12.26)

埃拉托色尼逮捕了波勒马库斯，按照三十人的命令，没收了米提斯人的钱，然后他把他带到议会，在那里他没有经过适当的审判就被判处死刑。埃拉托色尼不能否认他逮捕了波勒马科斯，但他希望通过歪曲最近的过去来无罪释放，陪审员们忽略了所有的细节。对吕西亚斯和埃拉托色尼的问题和答案的考察，以及对他们的论点的评估表明，吕西亚斯认为他的对手有罪是正确的，但后者仍有机会被无罪释放。

期刊介绍： Erga-Logoi is a peer-reviewed open-access journal of ancient history, literature, law and culture, as broadly conceived in geographical and chronological terms. Evoking Thucydides'' methodological exordium (although in that context the opposition obviously has a different value), the name of the Journal was chosen to reflect its intention of looking at the ancient world paying attention to both “facts” (historical events, artistic production, material culture) and “words” (literary, historical, legal production in its oral and written forms). On these bases, the Journal embraces a unified approach to the ancient world, rejecting sectional perspectives for an interdisciplinary focus, reflecting these complex articulated civilizations. The Journal, published every six months, is open to contributions of a historical, philological, literary, archaeological, artistic, and legal nature. It is multilingual, thereby aiming to foster the development of international debate on the ancient world and its legacy.
