Against Androtion was a speech composed by Demosthenes in which he accused Androtion of making an illegal proposal. This was the first surviving speech of Demosthenes composed on public charges (γραφαί, graphai).[1] The case was brought in 355/4 by Diodoros and Euktemon, and concerned Androtion's proposal that the council of that year be awarded a crown for their services, despite their failure to have enough triremes built for this award to be granted.[2] Androtion was acquitted,[2] and continued to be active in Athenian politics at least until 347/6.[3]
