Omschrijving

The Orations of Demosthenes on the Crown and on the Embassy is a book that was published in 1855 and features two of the most famous speeches of the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes. The first speech, On the Crown, was delivered in 330 BC and is considered one of the greatest speeches in history. In it, Demosthenes defends himself against accusations made by his political rival Aeschines and argues that he deserves to be awarded the highest honor in Athens, the crown. The second speech, On the Embassy, was delivered in 343 BC and is a defense of Demosthenes' actions as part of a diplomatic mission to the city of Thebes. The book includes an introduction by the editor and translator, as well as notes and commentary to help readers understand the historical context and significance of the speeches. Overall, The Orations of Demosthenes on the Crown and on the Embassy is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek history, politics, or rhetoric.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
