Rhetoric and the Law of Draco (Hardcover, New)

Trials for murder and manslaughter in ancient Athens are preserved
in a singularly full and revealing record. The earliest surviving
speeches were written for such proceedings, and the laws governing
such trials - laws that tradition ascribes to Draco himself - also
survive in large part. These documents bear witness to the birth of
the jury trial and of democratic rhetoric. This book, the first
study of its kind, offers a systematic interpretation of Draco's
law and the legal reasoning that grew out of it. The author
outlines the historical development (7th to 4th centuries BCE), and
then analyses the surviving speeches to unravel the underlying
issues and practical consequences.
