Excerpt from Æschines and Demosthenes: A New Translation
This version is not incumbered with notes, nor prefaced with an elaborate introduction. Atten tion is simply called to the political condition of Greece, and to the principal circumstances of the trial, and a slight comparison of the two orations is made. The reader who desires more will find all needed information in the introduction to Ken nedy''s translation of the Oration of Demosthenes, and in the editions of the Greek text of that oration of T. K. Arnold and Arthur Holmes.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rich analysis of the political career of the renowned Athenian orator, Demosthenes, through the lens of a prosecution speech delivered against him by his rival, Aeschines. The speech, delivered before a jury of 500 Athenian citizens, provides a detailed examination of Demosthenes' public life, with a focus on his role in the tumultuous political events of 4th century BC Greece. The author analyzes the strategies employed by both Demosthenes and Aeschines, and explores the legal and political implications of the charges brought against Demosthenes. Beyond the historical account, the book delves into the broader themes of political rhetoric, corruption, and the challenges of leadership in a democratic society. It offers valuable insights into the nature of ancient Athenian democracy and the enduring legacy of its most prominent statesmen.
