Antiphon

480 BC - 411 BC

Antiphon

Antiphon of Rhamnus (; Ancient Greek: Ἀντιφῶν ὁ Ῥαμνούσιος; 480–411 BC) was the earliest of the ten Attic orators, and an important figure in fifth-century Athenian political and intellectual life. Many people named Antiphon in ancient Greece, and many scholars have confused them due to a lack of resources.There is longstanding uncertainty and scholarly controversy over whether the Sophistic works of Antiphon and a treatise on the Interpretation of Dreams were also written by Antiphon the Orator, or whether they were written by a separate man known as Antiphon the Sophist. This article only discusses Antiphon the Orator's biography and oratorical works. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Antiphon is the 1,847th most popular politician (up from 3,307th in 2019), the 133rd most popular biography from Greece (up from 219th in 2019) and the 48th most popular Greek Politician.

The antiphon is most famous for being the song sung by the choir in response to the reading of the Gospel at Mass.
