Isaeus Book order

Isaeus was one of the ten Attic Orators according to the Alexandrian canon, active in the early 4th century BC. A student of Isocrates in Athens, he later taught Demosthenes while working as a speechwriter for others. His surviving works primarily concern inheritance disputes, though one addresses civil rights. His style, compared to Lysias, was noted for its use of sophistry and influenced subsequent oratory.

Isaeus (c. 420 350 BCE) composed speeches for others. He shares with Lysias pure Attic and lucidity of style, but his more aggressive and flexible presentation undoubtedly influenced Demosthenes. Of at least fifty attributed orations, there survive eleven on legacy cases and a large fragment dealing with a claim of citizenship.
