a fine introduction to Lysias

This volume contains eight of Lysias's most famous orations, in their original ancient Greek, without translation into English. It begins with Lysias's denunciation of Eratosthenes, one of the thirty tyrants who briefly ruled Athens in 404-403 BC, and concludes with Lysias's speech on the Athenian Constitution, in which he opposed restricting the vote to owners of real estate. Charles Darwin Adams, the editor of this volume and professor of Greek at Dartmouth, provides a thorough introduction, as well as notes on the texts of the speeches, a chronological history of the fifth century BC, discussions of Athenian legal procedures & economy, and detailed account of the rhetorical terms and usages.
