This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries BC in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Demosthenes is regarded as the greatest orator of classical antiquity; indeed, his very eminence may be responsible for the inclusion under his name of a number of speeches he almost certainly did \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e write. This volume contains four speeches that are most probably the work of Apollodorus, who is often known as \"the Eleventh Attic Orator.\" Regardless of their authorship, however, this set of ten law court speeches gives a vivid sense of public and private life in fourth-century BC Athens. They tell of the friendships and quarrels of rural neighbors, of young men joined in raucous, intentionally shocking behavior, of families enduring great poverty, and of the intricate involvement of prostitutes in the lives of citizens. They also deal with the outfitting of warships, the grain trade, challenges to citizenship, and restrictions on the civic role of men in debt to the state. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Series Editor's Preface (Michael Gagarin) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Translator's Preface (Victor Bers) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Series Introduction (Michael Gagarin) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oratory in Classical Athens \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Orators \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Works of the Orators \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Government and Law in Classical Athens \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Translation of Greek Oratory \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Abbreviations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Note on Currency \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bibliography of Works Cited \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e DEMOSTHENES \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction to Demosthenes (Michael Gagarin) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Works \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Style \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Significance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Supplementary Bibliography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction to This Volume (Victor Bers) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Apollodorus \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Text \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 50.
