Lives of the Ten Orators, from an unknown writer whose allonym is Pseudo-Plutarch, delivers a pseudepigraphy for the ten attic orators; here Demosthenes practising his craft.
The ten Attic orators were considered the greatest orators and logographers of the classical era (5th century BC–4th century BC). They are included in the Alexandrian Canon compiled by Aristophanes of Byzantium and Aristarchus of Samothrace.
Their work inspired the later rhetorical movement of Atticism.
