Overview

Orationes XVI is a collection of sixteen orations, likely compiled and edited for study. These orations provide invaluable insight into the political, social, and legal practices of ancient Greece. The work offers students and scholars direct access to the rhetorical skill and argumentation techniques prevalent in Athenian society. Lysias was a logographer (λοÎ3οÎ3Ï Î¬Ï†Î¿Ï‚), someone who wrote speeches for use in the law courts of ancient Athens. This edition, likely from the late 19th century, would have been intended for students learning classical Greek and studying ancient rhetoric. It represents a vital resource for understanding ancient Greek language, law, and society. The speeches cover a range of topics, reflecting the diverse concerns and conflicts of the time.
