The Spurious Speeches In The Lysianic Corpus (1917)

By Angela C Darkow

Book Overview

The Spurious Speeches in the Lysianic Corpus is a book written by Angela Charlotte Darkow and was first published in 1917. The book is a critical analysis of the speeches attributed to the ancient Greek orator Lysias, which were compiled in the Lysianic Corpus. Darkow argues that some of the speeches in the Corpus were not actually written by Lysias, but were instead the work of other writers who imitated his style. The book provides a detailed examination of the language, style, and content of the speeches in question, comparing them to Lysias' known works and to other examples of ancient Greek rhetoric. Darkow also considers the historical and cultural context in which the speeches were written, and explores the possible motives of the writers who created them. The Spurious Speeches in the Lysianic Corpus is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Greek literature and rhetoric, as well as for anyone interested in the history of classical Athens and the development of Greek oratory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
