The documents in Andocides' On the Mysteries By Mirko Canevaro and Edward Harris

https://www.academia.edu/1534572/The_documents_in_Andocides_On_the_Mysteries The paper investigates the authenticity of the legal documents presented in Andocides' On the Mysteries, challenging the prevailing notion that these documents are genuine. Through methodical analysis of the texts, summaries, and paraphrases, the authors reveal discrepancies that suggest these documents may be forgeries crafted after the Classical period, mirroring similar issues seen in works by other Attic Orators. The findings call into question the accepted historical narrative surrounding these legal texts, urging a reconsideration of their origins and implications.
