  Lysias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lysias lifted up his voice to denounce Dionysius as, next to Artaxerxes, the worst enemy of Hellas, and to impress upon the assembled Greeks that one of their foremost duties was to deliver Sicily from a hateful oppression.
Lysias was a man of kindly and genial nature, warm in friendship, loyal to country, with a keen perception of character and a fine though strictly controlled sense of humour.

 King Lysias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lysias Anikitou ("The Invincible") was an Indo-Greek king who ruled between around 120-110 BCE in Northern India in the area of Punjab.
Lysias' coins use almost entirely the type of King Demetrius: the elephant scalp, Herakles standing, crowning himself, and holding his club, with the single addition of a palm to signify victory.

 Table of Contents and Excerpt, Todd, Lysias
Lysias himself recounts how he and his brother Polemarchus were among a small group of metics arrested by the Thirty, allegedly on suspicion of being hostile towards the regime, but really (according to Lysias) in order to confiscate their considerable wealth (Lys.12.12-19).
We are told that Lysias himself was a beneficiary of a decree proposed immediately after the restoration by Thrasybulus, one of the democratic leaders, granting citizenship to those metics who had assisted the democrats, but that this decree was promptly challenged by Archinus, one of the other democratic leaders, and annulled as unconstitutional.
The survival of a speech, therefore, cannot be taken as evidence that it was one of Lysias' finest, let alone that it was (or was regarded) as authentic, either in the sense of being genuinely by Lysias or in the sense of being a genuine speech.

His summary of the meager evidence for Lysias' life and career is sensible throughout, gently endorsing the later date of 445 for Lysias' birth and treating the Lysianic references in Plato's dialogues, troublesome in their dramatic dates, as evidence for Lysias' fame and social standing rather than as chronological markers for Lysias' biography.
Lysias 2, to take an epideictic example, is valuable because it is a plausible and appropriate speech for its apparent dramatic occasion, a funeral oration delivered during the Corinthian War.
Lysias does not attack the defendants primarily because they were metics, but because they were putting their own private gain before the city's welfare.

 Electronic Antiquity v7n1 - David Whitehead
Lysias' attested forensic activity, on the standard assumption that speech 20 (from c.410) is not by him, appears to span the years 403/2 to c.380.
Lysias made no radical changes to the overall structural framework which he inherited from Antiphon, but expansion of the non-argumentative parts of the speech, especially narrative, gave his oratory a more varied literary character while still fulfilling forensic requirements.
Lysias, though, is another matter, and from all points of view one must regret not being able to juxtapose Euth., in any useful way, with Lysias' fragmentary and undatable Against Theomnestos (Oxyrhyncus Papyri 1606); this likewise concerned an attempt to recover a monetary deposit made without witnesses.

 Lysias, from Lives of the Ten Orators, at Peitho's Web
LYSIAS was the son of Cephalus, grandson of Lysanias, and great-grandson of Cephalus.
His father was by birth a Syracusan; but partly for the love he had to the city, and partly in condescension to the persuasions of Pericles the son of Xanthippus, who entertained him as his friend and guest, he went to live at Athens, being a man of great wealth.

 Lysias - Wikipedia
Lysias wurde als der Sohn des Kephalos geboren, eines reichen Syrakusaners, der sich auf Perikles' Rat in Athen niedergelassen hatte, ging, 15 Jahre alt, mit seinen beiden Brüdern nach Thurii in Italien, wo er den Unterricht des Rhetors Tisias von Syrakus genoss.
Unter der Herrschaft der Dreißig Tyrannen (404) wurden die Brüder als Gegner der Regierung angeklagt, ihr Vermögen konfisziert und Polemarchos hingerichtet; Lysias rettete sich kaum durch die Flucht nach Megara.
Nach dem Sturz der Dreißig Tyrannen, zu dem er eifrig mitgewirkt hatte, lebte er wieder in Athen der lohnenden Beschäftigung, für andere Gerichtsreden zuschreiben, nachdem er durch die Anklage des Eratosthenes, des Mörders seines Bruders, seinen Ruf als Redner begründet hatte.

Among the company are Lysias (the orator) and Euthydemus, the sons of Cephalus and brothers of Polemarchus, an unknown Charmantides--these are mute auditors; also there is Cleitophon, who once interrupts, where, as in the Dialogue which bears his name, he appears as the friend and ally of Thrasymachus.
He characteristically remarks that he will not speak as a rhetorician, that is to say, he will not make a regular defence such as Lysias or one of the orators might have composed for him, or, according to some accounts, did compose for him.
