Isseus

Isseus (B.C. 420 - abt. 348), one of the ten Attic orators, born at Chalcis, when still young went to Athens, where he studied oratory under Lysias and Isocrates. He established a school of rhetoric, and is said to have had Demosthenes as a pupil. It is supposed that he wrote, or helped Demosthenes to write, his speeches against his guardians. Nothing more is known of his life. Eleven orations remain out of the sixty-four with which he is credited. They are on questions of inheritance, and throw much light on this branch of Attic law. His style is concise, clear, and forcible.
