Hyperides (c. 390–322 BC)

Athenian orator, pupil of the orator Isocrates. From 346 he supported the anti-Macedonian policy of the orator Demosthenes, but was one of the public prosecutors in the the impeachment of Demosthenes 324. Hyperides then assumed leadership of the patriotic party, and was chiefly responsible for the Lamian War against Macedonia after the death of Alexander the Great. Following the defeat of the Athenians at Crannon 322, Hyperides took refuge in Aegina, where he was seized and killed on the orders of the Macedonian general Antipater.

Most of the surviving fragments of Hyperides's speeches were discovered in Egyptian papyri 1847 and 1892.
