Demosthenes

Selected Private Speeches

Herausgegeben: Carey, C.; Reid, R. A.

Beschreibung

The four private speeches contained in this collection were functional artefacts whose object was to persuade a jury numbered in hundreds by manipulating both the facts of the case and the prejudices, beliefs and attitudes of the Athenian man-in-the-street. A commentary sheds light on their effectiveness.

Rezensionen

"I am very grateful to have this up-to-date English commentary on Demosthenes' greatest speeches available for my own research and for use in advanced Greek courses. Yunis has done the field a great service." New England Classical Journal
