Antiphon’s the Orator’s Sports Lexicon and Methaphors: Some New Considerations

Abstract

The sports vocabulary and metaphors of antiphon’s texts have not ever been conscientiously studied, despite the increasing amount of scholarly attention that other authors’ sports lexicon and usages have received. this scarcity is all the more surprising because of the importance of antiphon for the study of javelin throw in classical antiquity. the aim of this essay is to remedy such a deficient situation. in order to do so, i have studied the passages that contain purely sports terms, sports usages of generic terms, and sports metaphors. i have studied all the terms in their respective contexts and have provided a significant number of classical references, along with modern sources.
