About “Against Eratosthenes”

"Against Eratosthenes" is a speech delivered by Lysias, one of the ten major Attic orators. The speech serves as a formal accusation against Eratosthenes, a member of the Thirty Tyrants, who governed Athens after the Peloponnesian War. Lysias charges Eratosthenes with the murder of his brother, Polemarchus. The speech is part of the classical Greek oratory tradition and reflects the political and legal climate of post-war Athens.
