Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the nature of Lysias' oratory, one of the most important figures of Athenian history. The book considers Lysias' literary significance as one of the ten canonical Attic orators, arguing that Dionysius of Halicarnassus's extensive praise of his work is often overstated. The author challenges the idea that Lysias' famous 'plain style'â"characterised by brevity and simplicityâ"was a carefully constructed rhetorical device, suggesting instead that this style was rooted in the author's legal training. It also explores other themes common in Lysias' speeches, such as the importance of a good reputation, the dangers of slander, and the nature of justice. By carefully examining some of Lysias' most famous speeches, the book sheds light on the complex relationship between rhetoric and justice in ancient Athens. An ideal text for students of Classics or history, this book provides a fresh and unique perspective on one of the most important figures of antiquity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
