Abstract.
The article tries to clarify whether the speech of the Athenian orator Lysias “On the Murder of Eratosthenes” is a real defence speech or it can be considered as a literary exercise aimed to sharpen the logographer’s skills. Considering arguments in favour of the latter, the author concludes that, though the whole set of arguments allows proposing such a hypothesis, each of them separately seems quite controversial. In the author’s opinion, Lysias’s speech is a literary interpretation of a real criminal case that occurred in Athens at the end of the V century B.C.
