These remarkable documents of Greek social and cultural history
include masterpieces of lively narrative and subtle argument
prepared by such orators as Lysias, Antiphon, and Demosthenes. The
fifteen cases presented represent the first recorded instances of
the working of a democratic jury system under a definite code of
law aimed at inexpensive and equal justice for all citizens. Issues
examined include murder, assault, property damage, embezzlement,
contested legacies, illegal marriage, slander, and civil rights.
Also provided are comprehensive background chapters on the
professions of law and rhetoric in ancient Athens and explanatory
notes clarifying the course of each trial .
