Book Description
Archias the Exile-Hunter: The Siege of Tyros Archias, struggling actor turned assassin, is finally out of luck. Alexander the Great has been informed of Archias' latest victim's death, and that it was his gold that was used to pay for the murder. Locked up awaiting Alexander's judgement, Archias believes his days are numbered. Instead, Alexander gives him a new mission: infiltrate the island city of Tyros, currently under siege, kill the soldiers who are delaying Macedon's victory, and hold the King of Tyros captive until Alexander arrives. But Alexander makes no mention of Archias' fate, should he succeed in this almost impossible task - a task more like a suicide mission in fact. Can Archias win through, and make it out alive?

Lives of the Attic Orators
Author: Joseph Roisman
Publisher:
ISBN: 0199687676
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
This volume provides a complete translation of, and historical and historiographical commentary on, the lives of the ten Attic orators given by Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and the Suda. Assessing these works as important historical sources for the individual lives and careers of the orators whose works have survived, this systematic study explores how these literary biographies were constructed, the information they provide, and their veracity. In-depth commentary notes offer contextual information, explain references and examine individual rhetorical phrases, and a glossary of technical terms provides a quick reference guide to the more obscure oratorical and political terms. The volume also includes a detailed introduction which discusses the evolution of Greek oratory and rhetoric; the so-called Canon of the Ten Orators; the authorship, dates, and sources of the biographies provided by Pseudo-Plutarch, Photius, and the Suda; and a brief consideration of orators whose speeches were either falsely attributed to Demosthenes or may be referenced in the ancient lives.
