The author presents the results of a study on the ephetai investigating their role, jurisdiction and selection in the overall framework of the Athenian homicide courts. In the period between Drakon and Solon, only the Areopagos, the Prytaneion and the 51 ephetae (who were at that time chosen among the Areopagites) tried homicide cases. Only after Solon two new homicide courts were instituted: the Delphinion and the court “in Phreatto”. The 51 ephetae never took part to these last two courts, whose judges were chosen by lot from the heliastai. In the fifth and fourth centuries BC, also the 51 ephetae (who at that time gathered at the Palladion) started to be chosen by lot, probably from the heliastai as well.
In questo studio l’autore offre una disamina del ruolo, delle competenze e anche della composizione del collegio giudicante degli efeti nel quadro complessivo dei tribunali ateniesi per l’omicidio. Nel periodo compreso tra Draconte e Solone, erano competenti per l’omicidio solo l’Areopago, il Pritaneo e i 51 efeti (scelti tra gli areopagiti). Solo dopo Solone comparvero due nuovi tribunali, Delfinio e Freatto. I 51 efeti non furono mai presenti in questi ultimi due tribunali, in cui si riunivano eliasti estratti a sorte. Tra quinto e quarto secolo a.C., anche i 51 efeti (che a quel tempo si riunivano al Palladio) iniziarono a essere estratti a sorte, probabilmente anch’essi tra gli eliasti.

Abstract
The author presents the results of a study on the ephetai investigating their role, jurisdiction and selection in the overall framework of the Athenian homicide courts. In the period between Drakon and Solon, only the Areopagos, the Prytaneion and the 51 ephetae (who were at that time chosen among the Areopagites) tried homicide cases. Only after Solon two new homicide courts were instituted: the Delphinion and the court “in Phreatto”. The 51 ephetae never took part to these last two courts, whose judges were chosen by lot from the heliastai. In the fifth and fourth centuries BC, also the 51 ephetae (who at that time gathered at the Palladion) started to be chosen by lot, probably from the heliastai as well.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
