Lucian of Samosata, Encomium Demosthenis, literary authenticity, Demosthenes, Second SophisticAbstract
The Demosthenis Encomium is one of the works considered of doubtful authenticity in the corpus Lucianeum. Although its inauthenticity is based on its poor language and style and on the consistent avoidance of the hiatus, recently, compositional aspects have been emphasized to affirm its authenticity. As a contribution to the problem of the authorship, this paper offers a comparative study of the treatment of the Demosthenic figure in the corpus Lucianeum and the Demosthenis Encomium based on the references to the orator in both sets, in the belief that this aspect, ignored in recent studies, should be considered in the assessment of the possible authenticity of the Demosthenis Encomium.
