Each speech receives an extensive introduction, covering general questions of interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the telematic section of the commentary, individual phrases are examined in detail, providing a close reading of the Greek text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maximize accessibility, the Greek lemmata are accompanied by translation, and individual Greek terms are mostly transliterated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first part of a projected multi-volume commentary on the speeches and fragments, which will be the first full commentary on Lysias in modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
