The speeches of Demosthenes and other 4th-century BC Athenian orators have long been recognized as a source of information about the mindset and life of ordinary Athenians. This book contributes to an understanding of religion in the public discourse by studying references to religious beliefs, institutions, and events in the oratorical corpus.
