| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to analyze the concepts of false message (pseudangelia) and messenger (pseudangelos) in ancient Greece based mainly on the research by Sian Lewis in News and Society in the Greek Polis and Everett L. Wheeler's Stratagem and the Vocabulary of Military Trickery. The paper deals also with the mythical concept of trickery (metis) in the context of Aristotelian ethics. After a short excursus on false messages and messengers at the beginning of World War II, recent research on the society of disinformation by Thomas Froehlich is briefly addressed in the conclusion. |
