摘要
In the present article,I explore the passages that are reused in the Attic orators,particularly those as transmitted in the judicial speeches by Antiphon and Demosthenes.I argue that the favorable reactions from their audiences or clients in the past legal cases are what encourage the orators to reuse,or republish,the passages,and that there is a tendency among them to make modifications to suit changing socio-political circumstances and specific performative contexts.The conclusion is that the republished texts highlight the common practice of the logographers in Classical Athens,and thus contribute to our understanding of their habitual way of writing and method of self-promotion.
