- W2331161690 abstract "D EMOSTHENES' BIRTHDATE and the age of majority at Athens constitute one of the most disputed cruces of Athenian prosopography.1 The outlines of the problem are simple. Demosthenes describes himself as 7 years old (~a7r' rCwv bvra 27.4) when his father died. According to the same speech, the first speech against his guardian Aphobus, his minority lasted about 10 years.2 Yet AthPol says Athenian boys came of age at 18 (bKrwKalceKa rT yeyovobre : 42.1).3 I shall begin by discussing three recent solutions to the problem. The first is R. Sealey's: AthPol is simply wrong. Mistakes in learned inquiry do not bring such immediate consequences as mistakes in legal pleading. So the Demosthenic evidence is to be preferred (197). But Sealey offers no explanation for this mistake. And it is hardly credible that AthPol should err in so vital and widely-known detail.4 Carter's solution is different, but no less drastic. He suggests that Demosthenes and AthPol are in fact describing the same age. It is a question of Greek (52). And his examination of Greek idiom leads him to conclude that we must interpret the words bKrwKaKLCKa" @default.
