Index
Despite his poor reputations as a rhetorician among critics
both ancient and modern, the four speeches attributed in MSS to
Andocides, the second of the canon of ten Attic orators, are important
examples of forensic and deliberative oratory and political invective
from the late fifth and early fourth centuries BC. They also provide
vital evidence for the development of Attic prose in this period
and for Athenian legal processes, and are major historical sources.
This edition, with notes keyed to the translation, containst the
first commentary in English on the whole corpus of Andocides'
work, making it accessible to scholars and students with or without
Greek.
Michael Edwards is Senior Lecturer at The University of London Queen Mary and Westfield College. He is also the co-author of Greek Orators volume I (with S. Usher) in this series. Other publications include 'The Attic Orators' (B.C.P.).

will be rewarded." LACT
