Uloga i značenje sikofanata, sinegora i logografa u atenskom sudskom postupku.

The paper will analyze the roles and the importance of sycophants, synegors an logographs in an Athenian judicial proceeding, with the intention of describing thes in a democratic climate of the polls that was prevalent in times of a slightly decadent democracy where demos had a strong, but a tragicomic role too, resembling Aristophanes' characters, not only of a righteous man and a tattletale, but of a legal scholar and a non-intrusive taciturn man as well. These represent the features of those who judge but also of those who are parties to the proceedings or participants in any other way. The possibility of everyone suing those who are detrimental to the polls and, in certa cases, receiving compensation, had turned out to be a negative phenomenon, which is referred to in the most negative sense. However, it should be pointed out that the poll had both known and applied the mechanisms of legal protection that were to preven sycophancy by not interfering with the citizen's rights to continue suing according to their knowledge and conscience. In addition to the sycophant's role, the role of synegors and logographs is interesting as well. Although these were described mostly as the originators of advocacy, we hold a different opinion. Namely, most frequently the synegors ar not considered to be legal scholars so it seems more appropriate to assign this meaning to logographs who did not participate in judicial proceedings in person.
