Терамен

Терамен або Ферамен (дав.-гр. Θηραμένης, пом. 404 до н. е.) — афінський державний діяч, найбільш відомий в останнє десятиліття Пелопоннеської війни. Він був особливо активним під час двох періодів олігархічного правління в Афінах, а також під час судового процесу над полководцями, які правили в Аргінузах у 406 році до нашої ери. Як поміркований олігарх, він часто опинявся між демократами з одного боку, і олігархами-екстремістами з іншого. Успішно замінивши вузьку олігархію більш широкою в 411 р. до н. е., він не зміг досягти того ж в 404 р. до н. е., і був страчений екстремістами, проти політики яких виступав.

For a modern synthesis and analysis, see Kagan, The Peloponnesian War, 454–61. Kagan (The Peloponnesian War, 459) gives the number as «perhaps a thousand», while Fine (The Ancient Greeks, 515) states it as «between 4,000 and 5,000» The account followed here is that of Diodorus, 13.101 [ 31 грудня 2007 у Wayback Machine.]. Xenophon, at 1.7 [ 31 грудня 2007 у Wayback Machine.], gives a different account which places much more of the blame for the trial and execution on Theramenes' shoulders. Modern scholars (see Fine The Ancient Greeks, 514–15, Kagan, The Peloponnesian War, 461–66, and Hornblower, The Greek World, 151) have generally preferred Diodorus' account, for a number of reasons.

For the events from the end of the trial onwards, see Xenophon, Hellenica, 2.3.50–56. (Constitution of the Athenians, 37) gives a slightly different account of Theramenes' sentence to death. He asserts that «Theramenes was executed after Thrasybulus occupied and argues that the Thirty introduced two laws into the Council of 3,000, with orders to pass them; one was to give the Thirty absolute powers to execute any citizens not members of the roll of Three Thousand, and the other prohibited admission to citizenship under the present constitution for all who had actually taken part in the demolition of the fort on Eteiona, or in any act of opposition to the Four Hundred who had instituted the former oligarchy; in both of these proceedings Theramenes had in fact participated, so that the result was that when the laws had been ratified he became outside the constitution and the Thirty had authority to put him to death.» In the past half century, however, scholars have recognized Xenophon's account as preferable.
