Forensic Narratives in Athenian Courts breaks new ground by
exploring different aspects of forensic storytelling in Athenian
legal speeches and the ways in which forensic narratives reflect
normative concerns and legal issues. The chapters, written by
distinguished experts in Athenian oratory and society, explore the
importance of narratives for the arguments of relatively
underdiscussed orators such as Isaeus and Apollodorus. They employ
new methods to investigate issues such as speeches' deceptiveness
or the appraisals which constitute the emotion scripts that
speakers put together. This volume not only addresses a gap in the
field of Athenian oratory, but also encourages comparative
approaches to forensic narratives and fiction, and fresh
investigations of the implications of forensic storytelling for
other literary genres. Forensic Narratives in Athenian Courts will
be an invaluable resource to students and researchers of Athenian
oratory and their legal system, as well as those working on Greek
society and literature more broadly.
