Lycurgus (Athenian orator)

    0.06 sec.

Lycurgus (c. 390-324 BC)

Athenian orator. As one of the Attic orators he supported the policies of Demosthenes against Macedonia.

Lycurgus administered the finances of Athens 338-326, and during this time he increased its revenue, beautified the city, and established state texts of the tragic plays, to which actors were obliged to adhere.

Most of his speeches were for the prosecution in criminal cases; one has survived, Against Leocrates (330).
