ResumoThis paper offers a study of litotes in Greek Oratory, specifically in four speeches: Aga- inst Ctesiphon and On the Embassy (Aeschines) and On the Crown and On the Embassy (Demosthenes). The purpose is to show how, when attacking the op- ponent, they use a resource associated –in principle– with verbal politeness as a me- chanism of impoliteness.
