The Athenian Isokrates (436–338 BC) is well-known for his long career as an educator and pundit; but originally he wrote 'forensic' speeches, i.e. for delivery in court. Six of them survive (five from Athens, one from Aigina), on issues including assault, fraud and inheritance. Here for the first time, after a General Introduction, they are presented and analysed in depth as a self-contained group. The Greek text and a facing English translation - both new - are augmented by commentaries which juxtapose this material with other surviving writers in the genre (and with Isocrates' own later output). In the process, too, the speeches' historical background, personnel, legal context, rhetorical strategies and all other relevant topics are explored.

This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of it; and the unwillingness of the citizens to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results. Twenty-eight scholars have written chapters to this end, dealing with a wide range of themes, in terms both of contents and of chronology, from the fifth to the fourth century B.C. Each contributor has written a chapter that analyzes one or more historical events mentioned or alluded in the corpus of the Attic orators and covers the three species of Attic oratory. Chapters that treat other issues collectively are also included. The common feature of each contribution is an outline of the recent events that took place and influenced the citizens and/or the city of Athens and its juxtaposition with their rhetorical treatment by the orators either by comparing the rhetorical texts with the historical sources and/or by examining the rhetorical means through which the speakers model the recent past. This book aims at advanced students and professional scholars. This volume focuses on the representation of the recent past in classical Athenian oratory and investigates: the ability of the orators to interpret it according to their interests; the inability of the Athenians to make an objective assessment of persons and events of the recent past and their unwillingness to hear the truth, make self-criticism and take responsibility for bad results.

This book offers the first modern commentary on an important historical and legal speech from mid fourth-century Athens. A comprehensive introduction examines in detail the life and works of the author, Apollodorus, the legal background to the case and the historical circumstances which led to it. Athens was facing a crisis in funding her fleet during wartime, and the alleged unscrupulous and illegal behaviour of the speaker’s opponent and others like him posed a real threat to her security. The extensive commentary aims to explain the intricate legal issues raised by the speech, as well as uncovering the clever rhetorical strategies employed by the speaker. The book offers a new English translation to accompany the Greek text, thereby facilitating access for non-classicists. The speech will be of interest to political and legal historians, as well as those interested in the history of rhetoric, and is designed for use by students and academics alike.

This volume provides a complete translation of, and historical and historiographical commentary on, the lives of the ten Attic orators given by Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and the Suda. Assessing these works as important historical sources for the individual lives and careers of the orators whose works have survived, this systematic study explores how these literary biographies were constructed, the information they provide, and their veracity. In-depth commentary notes offer contextual information, explain references and examine individual rhetorical phrases, and a glossary of technical terms provides a quick reference guide to the more obscure oratorical and political terms. The volume also includes a detailed introduction which discusses the evolution of Greek oratory and rhetoric; the so-called Canon of the Ten Orators; the authorship, dates, and sources of the biographies provided by Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and the Suda; and a brief consideration of orators whose speeches were either falsely attributed to Demosthenes or may be referenced in the ancient lives.

This book discusses the various judicial procedures available for remedying wrongs, whether against the state or the individual, in ancient Athens. It begins by identifying and describing the specific functions of the different judicial organs provided by the state to make and enforce judicial decisions. Among these are the magistrates, which are further classified into the archons, the Eleven, the Forty, the eisagogeis, and the nautodikai and the xenodikai. Otherorgans include the street and market officials, the apodektai, the accounting officers, the military officers, the extraordinary officers, and the demarchs. Cases were settled in homicide courts, thediskasteries, and the ekklesia and the boule. The state also allowed the use of private and public arbitrators, who were subject to certain rules laid down by the state and whose decisions were deemed legally binding. The book then traces the development of the concept of process at law in Athens during the classical period. This period saw the introduction of such concepts as the heliaia, special pleas, documentary evidences, and witness testimonies. Different types of suits and proceduralremedies also were made available to Athenians who were wronged and seeking redress. In the final chapter, particular focus is given to the special court proceedings for public wrongs brought before adikastery by a person seeking redress for an improper administrative act of a magistrate or a public body or seeking a final decision on a person's legal qualification to enter upon some particular status.
