Izokrat: Panegirik
Velikokrat sem se začudil nad tistimi, ki so prvi sklicali praznovanje in ustanovili športna tekmovanja, ker so imeli telesne uspehe za vredne nagrad, nobene časti pa niso dodelili tistim, ki so si zasebno prizadevali za skupno dobro in izurili svoj razum, tako da bi lahko koristili tudi drugim. [2] Tem bi bilo primerneje posvetiti pozornost. Če bi namreč atleti dobili dvakrat tolikšno moč, ne bi drugi pridobili ničesar, če pa bi postal razumen en mož, bi imeli korist od njegove preudarnosti vsi, ki bi je želeli biti deležni.

Isocrates II
This is the seventh volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece. This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries BC in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today's undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public.
Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. The Athenian rhetorician Isocrates (436-338) was one of the leading intellectual figures of the fourth century. This volume contains his orations 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, and 14, as well as all of his letters. These are Isocrates' political works. Three of the discourses-Panathenaicus, On the Peace,and the most famous,Panegyricus-focus on Athens, Isocrates' home.Archidamusis written in the voice of the Spartan prince to his assembly, andPlataicusis in the voice of a citizen of Plataea asking Athens for aid, while inTo Philip,Isocrates himself calls on Philip of Macedon to lead a unified Greece against Persia.

Isocrates I
This is the fourth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece series. Planned for publication over several years, the series will present all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries B.C. in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today’s undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have been largely ignored: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. This volume contains works from the early, middle, and late career of the Athenian rhetorician Isocrates (436–338). Among the translated works are his legal speeches, pedagogical essays, and his lengthy autobiographical defense, Antidosis. In them, he seeks to distinguish himself and his work, which he characterizes as philosophy, from that of the sophists and other intellectuals such as Plato. Isocrates’ identity as a teacher was an important mode of political activity, through which he sought to instruct his students, foreign rulers, and his fellow Athenians. He was a controversial figure who championed a role for the written word in fourth-century politics and thought.
