Lycurgi Oratoris Attici Quae Una Restat Contra Leocratem Oratio (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781277187113)

This is a meticulously edited edition of "Lycurgi Oratoris Attici Quae Una Restat Contra Leocratem Oratio," the sole surviving oration of the Athenian orator Lycurgus. Presented with scholarly rigor, this volume offers invaluable insights into Athenian law, rhetoric, and political thought during the 4th century BCE. Lycurgus's powerful denunciation of Leocrates, who was accused of treason, provides a compelling window into the values and anxieties of Athenian society in the aftermath of significant military defeats.

Johann Gottfried Hauptmann's edition enhances the text's accessibility and historical context, making it an essential resource for students and scholars of classical history, law, and oratory. The oration remains a significant testament to the enduring power of persuasive speech and its role in shaping civic life.
