Description
Attic eloquence from ancient Greece, as preserved in the surviving speeches of Lysias.
Lysias, a prominent figure in Athens, was a passionate partisan who also possessed a gentle and humorous nature. His speeches, which number around thirty, showcase a mastery of the art of oratory, with a style that is both simple and vivid in description.
These speeches, delivered at various times, including the Olympic festival of 388, provide a unique insight into the politics and society of ancient Athens. They are a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of oratory and the culture of ancient Greece.
