This is the tenth volume in a series of translations of The Oratory of Classical Greece. The aim of the series is to make available primarily for those who do not read Greek up-to-date, accurate, and readable translations with introductions and explanatory notes of all the surviving works and major fragments of the Attic orators of the classical period (ca. 420–320 bc): Aeschines, Andocides, Antiphon, Demosthenes , Dinarchus, Hyperides, Isaeus, Isocrates, Lycurgus, and Lysias. This is the fourth volume of Demosthenes; it includes an assortment of relatively little-known works: a funeral oration, an erotic essay, some 55 short prologues, and six letters. In different ways they shed interesting light on Demosthenes’ work and the last years of his life. This volume marks the two-thirds point in the series, and as always, I would like to thank all those at the University of Texas Press who have worked with this and the other volumes in the series: Director Joanna Hitchcock, Humanities Editor Jim Burr, Manuscript Editor Lynne Chapman, and Copyeditor Nancy Moore. I also want to thank Carolyn Wylie, who retired just before this current volume went into copyediting. Carolyn saw the previous nine volumes through production and is responsible for the very high quality this series has attained. She will be missed. — m. g.
