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 recently been attracting particular interest: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The orator Isaeus lived during the fourth century BC and was said to be the teacher of Demosthenes, Athens' most famous orator. Of the fifty or more speeches he is believed to have written, eleven survive in whole, one as a large fragment, and others as smaller fragments. This volume presents all the surviving works of Isaeus. The speeches mainly deal with inheritances and are a vital source of information regarding Greek law in this important area. In addition to translating the speeches, Michael Edwards provides a general introduction to Isaeus and Athenian inheritance law, as well as specific introductions and notes for each speech. \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 (Michael Edwards) \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 ISAEUS (Michael Edwards) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Works \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Style and Method \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Isaeus' Modern Reputation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Family, Property, and Athenian Inheritance Law \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Text \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Further Reading \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1.
