Lemnian Deeds in Hypereides' "Against Timandros"

"My focus will be on questions of rhetoric: why does the speaker focus specifically on females when discussing an orphaned family, and what is so transgressive about bringing up an orphaned Athenian on the island of Lemnos?"

A text and translation will be provided as a handout, but those interested in looking at the Timandros speech in advance will find it edited by Tchernetska et al. in Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik, 162 (2007), pp.1-4.
