Slide 6 - Courtroom Drama Lysias 1 – On the Murder of Eratosthenes Heard before the Delphinion – a court for justified homicide Euphiletos – husband accused of murdering Eratosthenes
Slide 7 - Characters Euphiletos – naïve and trusting husband – incapable of premeditated homicide Eratosthenes - seducer and threat to social values
Slide 8 - The Crime “…all humanity considers this kind of violation to be the most outrageous of acts.” (2) “I believe, gentlemen, that what I have to demonstrate is this: that Eratosthenes seduced my wife and corrupted her, that he brought shame on my children and insulted me by entering my house, that there was no cause for enmity between him and me apart from this, and that I did not commit this deed for money, to make myself rich instead of poor, nor for any other advantage except revenge, as the law allows.” (4)
Slide 9 - Relationship between man and wife “…when I decided to get married and brought a wife into my house, for some time I did not wish to impose on her or let her be too free to do whatever she wanted. I used to keep an eye on her as far as I could, and give her a suitable amount of attention. But from the time my son was born I began to have more confidence in her, and I gave her full responsibility for my house, as I believed this to be the best type of domestic arrangement.” (6)
Slide 10 - The Funeral “It was at her funeral, which my wife attended, that she was seen by this man and was eventually seduced.” (8) Brought his wife out into the public
Slide 11 - The House Modest, two story Women’s quarters upstairs Men’s quarters downstairs
Slide 12 - Beginning to Suspect “… I said nothing, as I believed this was the truth. I noticed though, gentleman, that her face was made up, although her brother had died not thirty days earlier.” (14) "Euphiletos, do not suppose that I have approached you from any desire to interfere in your business. The person who is disgracing you and your wife happens to be our mutual enemy. If you catch your slave, the one who goes to market for you and waits on you, and if you torture her, you will find out everything. It is," she said, "Eratosthenes from the deme of Oea who is responsible for this; he has not only seduced your wife but many other women, too. It's his specialty.“ (16)
Slide 13 - The Pin Drops “Every detail came to my mind, and I was full of suspicion.” (17) To the slave girl; “Tell me no lies, but speak the truth.” (18)
Slide 14 - The Day of the Murder Husband invites friend Sostratus for dinner Altered by the slave girl - “I went around to different neighbours, and found that some were not at home and others were out of town. Gathering the largest group I could find of those who were at home, I made my way back to the house.” (23)
Slide 15 - Court in the Act! “took torches from the nearest inn and entered… the door was open because the girl had seen to it. We pushed open the door of the bedroom, and those of us who were the first to enter saw him still lying next to my wife; the ones coming in later saw him standing naked on the bed.” (24)
Slide 16 - Killing an Adulterer “I struck him, gentlemen, and knocked him down. Then I twisted him round and tied his hands behind his back. I asked him why he was disgracing my house by entering it. He confessed that he was in the wrong, and he begged and entreated me not to kill him, but to agree to a financial settlement.” (25)
Slide 17 - The Murderer’s Speech  "Your executioner is not I, but the law of the city, whose violation you thought less important than your pleasures. It was your choice to commit an offence like this against my wife and my children, rather than to obey the laws and behave properly.“ (26)
Slide 18 - Just Homicide “… explicitly decreed that a man should not be found guilty of murder if he catches an adulterer in the act with his wife and takes the vengeance I did.” (30)
Slide 19 - Punishing Rape “ You hear, gentlemen, that it lays down that if anyone rapes a free man or child, he owes double the damages. If he rapes a woman, in those cases that carry the penalty of death, he is liable at the same rate. Thus, gentlemen, rapists are thought to deserve a lighter penalty than seducers, because the law condemned the latter to death, but assigned double the amount of the damages to the former.” (32)
Slide 20 - “… the laws acquit me…” Euphiletos claims – law acquits him “… they [the law] also require me to exact this punishment. It is for you to decide whether they should maintain their authority or become worthless.” (34)
Slide 21 - Defending Against Accusations Accused of; Getting the slave girl to bring Eratosthenes to the house (37) Accused of; prearranging with his friends to meet at his house (41) Accused of; having previous enmity between himself and Eratosthenes (43)
Slide 22 - Summing Up “I believe then, gentleman, that I exacted this penalty not for personal reasons, but on behalf of the whole city.” (47) “As it is, I am now in danger of losing my life, my property and everything else because I obeyed the laws of the city.” (50)
