Imagining justice in the Athenian lawcourt: Aeschines and others by Westwood, G

“…The author argues that one of Demosthenes’ aims was to counteract the persuasive effects of a vivid passage of enargeia in Aeschines’ speech: Demosthenes’ response engages with Aeschines’ use of enargeia but refocuses the judges’ imaginations, seeking to efface Aeschines’ versions of the past. This case study highlights the interaction between real and imaginary in lawcourt speeches: litigants craft arguments in such a way as to build upon – and reconfigure – judges’ grasp of the details of the case and wider aspects of their civic experience (in this case their cultural memory).…”
