Author Description

Demosthenes was one of the greatest orators of ancient Greece, and his speeches on a variety of topics have been admired for their eloquence and rhetorical power for over two thousand years. This edition includes three of his most famous speeches: On the Crown, Against Aristocrates, and Against Eubulides.
