"Clarity, naturalness, emotion, grace. These are the terms with which, in 1899, the Hellenist Felix Dürrbach characterized the style of Lysias. A few years later, in the United States, Charles Darwin Adams saw in the pragmatism and simplicity of the orator a model for an eloquence adapted to the New World. Offered here, with the Greek text, are a new translation and a full commentary on four of the best speeches of the most Attic, some have said the most French, of ancient orators. Pierre Chiron is Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Paris-Est and a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
