'''Antiphon of [[Rhamnus (Greek archaeological site)|Rhamnus]]''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|æ|n|t|ɪ|f|ɒ|n|,_|-|ən}}; {{langx|grc|[[wikt:Ἀντιφῶν|Ἀντιφῶν]] ὁ Ῥαμνούσιος}}; 480&ndash;411&nbsp;BC) was the earliest of the ten [[Attic orators]], and an important figure in fifth-century Athenian political and intellectual life.  

Many people named Antiphon in ancient Greece, and many scholars have confused them due to a lack of resources.There is longstanding uncertainty and scholarly controversy over whether the [[Sophistic works of Antiphon]] and a treatise on the ''[[Interpretation of Dreams (Antiphon)|Interpretation of Dreams]]'' were also written by Antiphon the Orator, or whether they were written by a separate man known as Antiphon the Sophist. This article only discusses Antiphon the Orator's biography and oratorical works.
