Genos Dikanikon: Amateur and Professional Speech in the Courtrooms of Classical Athens - Hellenic Studies
Victor Bers
Under the Athenian democracy, litigants were expected to speak for themselves, though they could memorize a speech written for them. This book argues that men too poor to afford a professionally written speech frequently spoke before judicial bodies in procedures crucial to their status, wealth, or even their lives.
