One of the canonical Athenian orators, Lysias was much admired in antiquity. This new critical edition seeks to make the whole surviving corpus of Lysias available to the modern reader. It combines a newly edited text of the speeches preserved in the medieval manuscript tradition (based on the most up-to-date evaluation of the transmission) with a comprehensive collection of the fragments preserved indirectly through citation in ancient sources and in papyrus discoveries in the twentieth century.

For this edition of the Metamorphoses R. J.

An encyclopedic survey of this nature is of particular importance for its detailed account of Stoic ethics.

It will be the second in a series of editions of Cicero's philosophical works;...
