Sumario:This paper examines the function of the irreligious formula ὁ τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἀλιτήριος («cursed offender of Greece»),known only in thespeeches ofAeschines(Against Ctesiphon) andDinarchus (Against Demosthenes). Both authors conceptualise this vehement criticism of Demosthenes, seeking to condemn the consequences of his entire public career. We will attempt to define thesemantic scope of this formula, taking into account the historical-political context in which these speeches were composed. Furthermore, we will verify its deep link with several rhetorical and stylistic devices.
