ABSTRACT

Hypereides delivered this speech as synêgoros (advocate: General Introduction, p. 5) for Euxenippus, who was tried by eisangelia (Part Three, Athens under Alexander, p. 189) in a jury-court at some point between 330 and 324. The prosecutor, Polyeuctus, accused Euxenippus of falsely reporting to the Assembly the contents of a dream he had while incubating in the Temple of Amphiaraus at Oropus (§§14-15). Lycurgus served as an advocate for the prosecution (§12), as he had in the Lycophron case (Hypereides 1.3). The outcome of the trial is unknown.
