Philinus ( /fɪˈlnəs/; Greek: Φιλῖνος; lived during the 4th century BC) was an Athenian orator, a contemporary of Demosthenes and Lycurgus. [1] He is mentioned by Demosthenes in his oration against Meidias, [2] who calls him the son of Nicostratus, and says that he was trierarch with him. Harpocration mentions three orations of Philinus. These are Against the statues of Sophocles and Euripides, [3] which was against a proposition of Lycurgus that statues should be erected to those poets; [1] Against Dorotheus, [4] which was ascribed likewise to Hyperides; [1] Judiciary litigation of the Croconidae against the Coeronidae, which was ascribed by others to Lycurgus. [5] An ancient grammarian, quoted by Clement of Alexandria [6], says that Philinus borrowed from Demosthenes. [1]
