| | Electronic Antiquity v7n1 - David Whitehead |
 | | When one considers that the lifetimes of Isokrates and Hypereides - no. 9 in the "canon" - overlapped by more than fifty years (not to mention the ancient view, which there is no call to dispute, that they were master and pupil), |
 | | The point is scarcely one of great profundity but it does, for present purposes, place proper emphasis on the fact that in the footsteps of Antiphon came, as group b, not just one practitioner of note but three. |
 | | Still, with (apparently) less than a decade separating their births, the trio were manifestly 'contemporaries' of each other, no less than were Aischines, Hypereides, Lykourgos, and Demosthenes in their, later, era; and beyond the simple matter of when they were born there is the more material point of when they wrote their (forensic) speeches. |
