This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries B.C. 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 This volume combines the surviving speeches of three orators who stand at the end of the classical period. Dinarchus was not an Athenian, but he was called on to write speeches in connection with a corruption scandal (the Harpalus affair) that put an end to the career of Demosthenes. His speeches thus raise many of the vital issues surrounding the Macedonian conquest of Athens and the final years of Athenian democracy. Hyperides was an important public figure who was involved in many of the events described by Dinarchus and Lycurgus. His speeches open a window into many interesting facets of Athenian life. Lycurgus was one of the leading politicians in Athens during the reign of Alexander the Great and put Athenian public finances on a more secure footing. He was also a deeply religious man, who tried to revive Athenian patriotism after the crushing defeat at Chaeronea. \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 Acknowledgments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Series Introduction \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\u003cli\u003e Supplementary Bibliography for Volume 5 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e DINARCHUS (Ian Worthington) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction to Dinarchus \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bibliography \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1.
