grbs-7301	Gagarin, Michael	The Prohibition of Just and Unjust Homicide in Antiphon’s Tetralogies	1978	16	.pdf	application/pdf	7499	325	62	A rebuttal by Lipsius2 explained several of the alleged discrepancies between the Tetralogies and Athenian law, but in his reply to Lipsius Dittenberger3 stuck firmly to one point above all: that the prohibition /L~7€ oLKaLwc /L~7€ &OLKWC &1TOK'TELVELV, which is quoted four times in the Second and Third Tetralogies (3.2.9,4 3.3.7, 4.2.3, 4.4.8), is clearly inconsistent with Athenian homicide law, which from the time of Drakon recognized that certain cases of homicide were lawful and went unpunished.s Following Dittenberger some critics6 have accepted this inconsistency and taken it as part of the evidence for the 'sophistic', non-legal and non-Antiphontic nature of the Tetralogies. MICHAEL GAGARIN 301 We noted earlier that the prohibition is not strictly speaking a law and would probably be superfluous in Athenian homicide law, and the legal vagueness of the rhetorical qualification is further evidence that the prohibition was probably not written into the law.	cache/grbs-7301.pdf	txt/grbs-7301.txt
