Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book enriches our understanding of Attic orators and the manner in which they presented arguments in the law courts of Classical Athens, focusing on a corpus of speeches attributed to a single orator, Lysias. The author examines specific legal, social, historical, and rhetorical topics raised by these orations. Lysias' speeches are rich in information about the way in which Athenian law and legal procedure worked in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, and open a window onto Athenian social and political life, as well as revealing a great deal about how people thought and spoke at the time. This book highlights the complexities and nuances of Athenian rhetoric, making it invaluable to classicists, legal historians, and anyone interested in exploring law and society in the ancient world.
