Features

Delivered sometime in the late 340s BCE, Against Neaira traces Neaira's life from her youth as a sex worker and argues that her children with an Athenian citizen man are illegitimate. The speech is highly revealing of Athenian society, citizenship, religion, women, and law. Its Greek is straightforward and enjoyable to read, making it an ideal text for classroom use or private study.

This edition, by Deborah Kamen, Professor of Classics at the University of Washington, includes a Greek text, detailed notes and vocabulary for ease of reading, and a brief introduction.

The vocabulary lists include all words not in the DCC Core. Notes provide links to digitized versions of the introductory grammar of Goodell and the more advanced grammar Smyth, and to the dictionary of Liddell, Scott, and Jones as published by Logeion. For ancient places and geography links are included to the Pleiades gazetteer.
