Synopsis
Excerpt from Lysias Epitaphios, Vol. 1: Introduction and Text
Lysias is usually studied in the form of selections, in which, either as not being typical of its author or from suspicion having been cast on its authenticity, the Epita~ pbz'os is not included. But whatever conclusion critics may arrive at on this point, the speech is still worthy of being read both for its own sake and as a specimen of its class. The subject of funeral orations has been dis cussed in a general way by Villemain in his Essaz' sur l'oraz'son Funebre, and in connexion with the funeral speech of Hyperides by' Girafrd in his Elude: rur i'e'lo guence Atlz'gue. The genuineness of the Epz'tapln'os has been defended with much spirit by Le Beau in a little treatise entitled Lysz'as Epz'z'apbz'os air air! Erwz'esen; but though some considerable names are not wanting on this side, it'is only fair to say that the tendency of the most recent criticism is to reject it. I have reprinted the text of Gobet, but as Scheibe's authority is hardly less, I have noticed every important instance in which they differ. Lastly, I have to acknowledge the very kind advice which I have received in preparing this work from Mr. Evelyn Abbott.
