Abstract
The essays analyses the testimonies regarding Hegesippos, an Athenian politician who was active in the age of Demosthenes and for some time was one of his main supporters. His political activity was not intense until the second half of the Forties, when he became one of the leaders of the anti-Macedonian group, as it is showed by his speech On Halonnesos. In the Lykourgan age, instead, he did not have a relevant role on the Athenian political scene anymore.
