Antiphon of Rhamnus on Meleager and the Hunt

Antiphon of Rhamnus is the name this site attaches, on this drama row, to five verse passages on Meleager and the Calydonian hunt. The same name also belongs to the fifth-century Athenian logographos of the speeches; later readers have mixed the two.

What this site holds is the Fragments on Meleager and the Hunt. The work file on this page treats the ascription to the Rhamnusian as spurious: the lines are τραγῳδία, preserved under “Antiphon” by confusion with a tragedian of that name.

The speeches of the orator are not this holding. The Greek here is fragment quoted in later grammatical books, not a forensic corpus.
