Greek Oratory: Tradition and Originality
Stephen Usher
The analysis of Antiphon's pioneering role, Lysias' achievement of balance between the different parts of a speech, the establishment of oratory as a medium of political thought by Demosthenes and Isocrates, and the different characteristics of less well known orators such as Andocides, Isaeus, Aeschines, Lycurgus, Hyperides, Dinarchus, and Apollodorus, makes a fascinating study in the evolution of a genre; while the speeches themselves (which are translated into English) contain some of the liveliest and most moving passages in Greek literature."--Jacket.
