| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through comprehensive and detailed analyses of the rhetorical strategies used in the forensic orations in fourth-century Athens, which was fundamentally crucial to understand the rhetorical culture and the Athenian Democracy, we have revealed the following aspects. (1) The Attic orators developed different rhetorical strategies well-suited for the speaker's legal/social position or public occasions, i.e., the people's assembly or the courtroom. (2) Athenian rhetorical strategies were heavily influenced, especially by contemporary religious and social practices. (3) In addition to the speaker's character presentation of his own or character assassination of his opponents, the strategies of character portrayal of other people mentioned in the forensic speeches were also crucial for persuading the Athenian jurors.

旧来、古典期アテナイの民主政は権力関係や民主的な制度から分析されることが多かった。これに対し、本研究では法廷弁論の実践的修辞戦略を分析することで、従来にはない角度からアテナイ民主政の実態に迫り、民主政が実際にはいかに機能していたのかを明確にすることができた。この学術的成果を口頭報告、論文、研究書を通じて発表した他、関連する啓蒙書、翻訳書などを公刊することで広く社会還元を行った。
