The Speeches of Isaeus: With Critical and Explanatory Notes
ISBN: 9781108059367 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 818 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Very little is known about the life of the Attic orator Isaeus, who was active during the first half of the fourth century BCE, and many of his speeches have been lost to posterity. Published in 1904, these surviving speeches, presented in the original Greek with extensive commentary by the classical scholar William Wyse (1860 1929), are mostly concerned with the convoluted intrigue of inheritance disputes.

Isaeus
ISBN: 9780674992221 / Angielski / Twarda / 1927 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Though he occupies a firm place in the canon of the ten Attic orators, Isaeus seems not to have been an Athenian, but a metic, being a native of Chalcis in Euboea.
