Lysias was an ancient Greek speechwriter (logographer). There were no professional lawyers in the Greek world, but there were men like Lysias, who would write courtroom speeches for either the defence or the prosecution. The text of some of these speeches has survived to this day, they make for some interesting reading, his most famous surviving speech is "On The Murder of Eratosthenes".
