Excerpt from Select Orations of Lysias That the writings of Lysias have hitherto been so little used by American students must be due rather to the lack of American editions, - though of German editions there is no lack. Certainly it is not attributable to any inferiority, either in merit of style or in interest of subject, in those specimens of his numerous orations which have come down to us. Such was his ancient fame, that nearly twice as many orations as he actually composed were ascribed to him. The large number of two hundred and thirty orations was accepted by the ancient critics as genuinely his, of which there are now extant only thirty-four, not all either complete or indisputably genuine, and a still larger number of fragments. As a representative of the purest Attic style, Lysias has no superior. He was also highly esteemed for a certain gracefulness of expression, which was regarded as a characteristic peculiarly his. At the same time, he showed no lack of energy, as Cicero observes: "In Lysia saepe sunt etiam lacerti sic ut fieri nihil possit valentius." (Brutus, 16, 64.)

Excerpt from Select Orations of Lysias: With Introductions and Explanatory Notes Classes during the past thirteen years has more than confirmed my first impression of their great value in a course of Greek instruction. An edition of the ora tions contained in this volume was completed two years ago last winter, but the manuscript was destroyed while on its way to the printer by the burning of an express car. It had been begun at the suggestion of the late Professor Hadley. And a portion of the work had received the benefit of his critical revision, - one of the last of those unheralded services which that noble-hearted scholar, too humble and too great to covet fame, and setting all too low an estimate on his exhaustless stores of learning, was ever so generously rendering on every hand. The completion of my task for the second time - fulfilling but tardily the promise made to the pub lishers has been delayed until the present by other imperative duties.

This is the second volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece series. Planned for publication over several years, the series will present all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries B.C. in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. This volume contains all the complete works and eleven of the largest fragments attributed to Lysias, the leading speechwriter of the generation (403-380 B.C.) after the Peloponnesian War, who was also one of the finest and most deceptive storytellers of all time. As a noncitizen resident in Athens, Lysias could take no direct part in politics, but his speeches, written for clients to deliver in court, paint vivid pictures of various private and public disputes: one speaker defends himself on a charge of murdering his wife's lover, while another is accused of having caused the deaths of democratic activists under the short-lived oligarchy of the Thirty (404/3), despite his claim to be protected by the amnesty that accompanied the restoration of democracy in 403.

Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Excerpt from Lysias: Ten Selected Orations The grammatical notes in some cases, especially on the first two or three orations, may seem to be rather full. They were made so advisedly. In many colleges and universities in this country, Lysias is the first Greek author that is read. Hence it is believed that, at the start, such grammatical help will in no way be found harmful to the brightest and to the best pre pared, and very useful and encouraging to the slow and less fortunate in their preparation. It will serve to recall and fix in mind such matters of etymology and syntax as should early become the permanent possession of every student of Greek. Again, by directing the student, through references in the notes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This volume provides a commentary on the six surviving speeches of the fifth-century BC Athenian orator Antiphon, all of which concern homicide, together with a fragment of Antiphon's final speech at his own trial for treason in 411 BC. The commentary discusses grammatical, stylistic, textual, legal, rhetorical, historical and other matters and focuses especially on Antiphon's argumentation and forensic strategy: why he presents these arguments in this particular way. The work includes a new Greek text which restores some of the special qualities of Antiphon's style that twentieth-century editors have edited out and a substantial introduction to the life and work of Antiphon, the nature of Athenian law and legal oratory and the style and textual tradition of Antiphon.
