Epicrates of Athens
Epicrates (Epikratês; Greek: Επικράτης) was the name of several Athenians who lived during the 4th century BCE. Scholars have had trouble telling them apart because their patronymics (father's name) and demotics (deme designations) are not always included in ancient sources. Even the ancients had such troubles. Harpocraton included this entry in his lexicon.Epikrates: Isaios in On the Speeches Made in Macedonia. This is the Athenian demagogue who is nicknamed ‘shield-bearer' whom Demosthenes also mentions in On the Embassy.
