Summary
Lysias was the leading Athenian speech-writer of the generation (403-380 BC) following the Peloponnesian War. Athens during this period was reacting to military defeat and two brief but traumatic periods of oligarchic revolution. Political events, and the tensions of the recent past, underlie many of the speeches.
