CLG-214 - Readings in Greek Historiography - Adultery, Murder, and Treason in Ancient Athens
In this introduction to Attic oratory we will be looking at the court speeches written by Lysias in defense of his clients, which give us a vivid picture of the everyday life and society of ancient Athens. Focussing on court cases of adultery, murder and treason, we will read and think about questions of law, sexuality, gender and morality. Apart from Lysias we will read comparable excerpts from other orators, such as Antiphon, complemented by some secondary reading.
