The Origins of the Name ‘The Old Oligarch’

Daniel Sutton

Abstrak

The origin of the name ‘Old Oligarch’ for the author of the Constitution of the Athenians has long been uncertain. This article argues that Gilbert Murray did, in fact, coin the name in A History of Ancient Greek Literature, paraphrasing an earlier remark in German by Adolf Kirchhoff, and that the name was supposed to be humorous.
