Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries synopsis

This edition brings together all the surviving evidence from the 5th century BC Antiphon and presents it with full translation and explanation, which assesses its reliability and relevance. Although Antiphon is not a familiar figure such as the Sophists such as Protagoras and Gorgias, large fragments survived from his main works, On Truth and On Concord, including large remains preserved on papyrus.

In addition, information about its similarity is preserved by ancient writers ranging from Aristotle to Simplicius and beyond. The introduction provides a brief overview of Antiphon, his work and his place in the fifth century BC, including his important contribution to the contemporary debate about the relationship of law (nomos) and nature (physis).

He also deals with the controversial question of the identity of Antiphon the sophist with respect to Antiphon of Rhamnus and other men of the same name.
