Critical Essays, Volume I: Ancient Orators. Lysias.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dionysius of Halicarnassus / Dionysius / Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Of Halicarnassus, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Dionysius of Halicarnassus had migrated to Rome by 30 BCE, where he lived until his death some time after 8 BCE, writing his "Romong>anong> ong>Anong>tiquities" ong>ong>anong>dong> teaching the art of rhetoric ong>ong>anong>dong> literary composition.

Illustrating his ong>anong>alysis with well-chosen examples, Dionysius preserves a number of importong>anong>t fragments of Lysias ong>ong>anong>dong> Isaeus. The ong>essayong>s on those two orators ong>ong>anong>dong> on Isocrates, Demosthenes ong>ong>anong>dong> Thucydides comprise Volume I of this edition.
