  ISAEUS - LoveToKnow Article on ISAEUS
Isaeus (who was born probably about 420 B.C.) is believed to have been an early pupil of Isocrates, and lie certainly was a student of Lysias.
Isaeus brings us to a final stage of transition, in which the gifts distinctive of Lysias were to be fused into a perfect harmony with that masterly art which receives its most powerful expression in Demosthenes.
Isaeus frequently interweaves the narrative with the proof.2 He shows the most dexterous ingenuity in adapting his manifold tactics to the case in hand, and often out-generals (,carauTp~Tifl~2) his adversary by some novel and daring disposition of his forces.

Aspects of Isaeus' style may be an indicator, such as his extensive use of vituperation and of rhetorical questions; and he had an approach to argument reminiscent of Gorgias and Antiphon in its exhaustiveness.
Isaeus clearly paid close attention to the arrangement of his material and dispensed with the standard, fourfold format of proem, narrative, proofs and epilogue: for example, his speeches regularly have two, three or more discrete sections of narrative, and speech 11 ("On the Estate of Hagnias") begins with citation and discussion of the laws.
This is in marked contrast to Lysias, with whom Isaeus is regularly compared; Dionysius of Halicarnassus indeed writes "that Isaeus is cleverer in his arrangement of subject-matter than Lysias, with regard both to the speech as a whole and its parts" ("Isaeus" 14).

Isaeus in fact was the first to employer figures and to turn his thought towards public affairs, imitated above all in that by Demosthenes, who was his pupil.
Isaeus was originally from Chalcis; he came to Athens and studied, it is said, with Lysias; the summit of his career was after the Peloponnesian War, and he lived until the domination of Philip.
Isaeus himself was the disciple of Isocrates and the rival of Thucydides and the philosopher Plato.

Isaeus took no part in politics, but composed speeches for others, particularly in cases of inheritance.
While he shares with Lysias the merits of a pure Attic and a lucidity of style, Isaeus is more aggressive and more flexible in his presentation; and in these respects he undoubtedly influenced Demosthenes.
We learn of the existence in ancient times of at least fifty orations, but all that has come down to us are eleven speeches on legacy cases and a large fragment of a speech dealing with a claim of citizenship.
