Resumo: Demosthenes is recognized as one of the great orators of Antiquity and is also recognized for his political work in defense of Athens, especially for its democracy and freedom, assessing with fear the growth of Macedonian power. Although the defense of democracy is a recurring theme in his speeches, Demosthenes is not a theorist of democracy and much of his view on this political regime is linked to an idealization of the Athenian experience prior to the Peloponnesian War. In the construction of the defense of democracy and the ethos of the democrat, elements of the oligarchy and the oligarch are used. The objective of this paper is to analyze the use of the forms of government democracy and oligarchy by Demosthenes and, for that, the focus will be on the construction of the antithesis between these two forms and the use of the oligarchic experiences of 411 and 404BC in this process.

Apesar de a defesa da democracia ser um tema recorrente em sua obra, Demóstenes não é um teórico dela e muito de sua visão sobre esse regime político está ligado a uma idealização da experiência ateniense anterior à Guerra do Peloponeso, período do apogeu da talassocracia. Na construção da defesa da democracia e do êthos do democrata, elementos da oligarquia e do oligarca são utilizados. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o uso das formas de governo democracia e oligarquia por Demóstenes e, para tanto, o foco será na construção da antítese entre essas duas formas e a utilização das experiências oligárquicas de 411 e 404 a.C. nesse processo.Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos (SBEC)2021-09-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revista.classica.org.br/classica/article/view/94010.24277/classica.v34i2.940Classica; Vol. 34 No. 2 (2021): Publicação Contínua; 1-21Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos; v. 34 n. 2 (2021): Publicação Contínua; 1-212176-64360103-431610.24277/classica.v34i2reponame:Classica (Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos.
