- W4207014447 abstract "This chapter examines Thucydides’ digression about the tyrannicides, with which the historian questions the Athenians’ memory of Harmodius and Aristogeiton and explains the truth about the tyrannicides and the Peisistratids. The point that is put forward is that Thucydides, in interrupting with this digression his account about Alcibiades’ involvement in the case of the Herms, does not only criticise the flaws of his compatriots’ collective memory about the tyrannicides, but he also conveys the message that the story of Harmodius and Aristogeiton was intentionally distorted by politicians and demagogues in their speeches against Alcibiades in the Assembly and in court. Thucydides’ emphasis on the institutional and rhetorical context within which the tyrannicides were evoked as democratic symbols at the expense of Alcibiades’ alleged plan to overthrow democracy emerges from specific verbal choices. The surviving works of 4th-century oratory which refer to the tyrannicides prove that in the Assembly and court the Athenians referred to Harmodius and Aristogeiton in an idealising fashion, which leads to the conclusion that Thucydides, by offering an account which belied the established idealised image of Harmodius and Aristogeiton, thus wishes, inter alia, to highlight historiography’s superiority over oratory in terms of the degree of validity with which each genre contributed to the preservation of historical truth." @default.
