ROISMAN, J., Lycurgus: Against Leocrates. Oxford University Press, 2019. 288p. Hardback. Series: Clarendon Ancient History Series. This volume offers an accessible guide to a fascinating and (as Roisman rightly indicates) unsettling speech from a period-and cultural environment-which is now attracting the attention it deserves. It will help to encourage nuanced readings of Lycurgus not only as a linchpin figure in Athenian civic renewal in the 330s and 320s but also as a political operator who had to fashion individual communication strategies to sustain his authority in the familiar democratic contexts of the lawcourts and Assembly, just like his peers and rivals.
