Planned for publication over several years, the series will present 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, 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 contains works from the early, middle, and late career of the Athenian rhetorician Isocrates (436-338). Among the translated works are his legal speeches, pedagogical essays, and his lengthy autobiographical defense, \u003ci\u003eAntidosis\u003c\/i\u003e. In them, he seeks to distinguish himself and his work, which he characterizes as \"philosophy,\" from that of the sophists and other intellectuals such as Plato. Isocrates' identity as a teacher was an important mode of political activity, through which he sought to instruct his students, foreign rulers, and his fellow Athenians. He was a controversial figure who championed a role for the written word in fourth-century politics and thought. \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 The Works of Isocrates \u003c\/li\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction to Isocrates \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Life and Career \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePhilosophia,\u003c\/i\u003e Education, and Politics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Style \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Note on Terminology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Text \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Works of Isocrates \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part One (David Mirhady) \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1.
