Book Synopsis
This is a commentary on Aeschines' "Against Timarchos", the prosecution speech in the politically crucial trial of 346/5BC. It is a rhetorical masterpiece of misrepresentation, which persuaded the jury to convict Timarchos despite the fact that Aeschines had virtually no evidence of his misdeeds.

Trade Review
Fisher provides an invaluable historical commentary and an extensive introduction, which summarizes much of the recent scholarship on Aeschines and Greek homosexuality ... I highly recommend Fisher's commentary for professional scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates. * Classical World *
