Greek Orators V: Demosthenes - On the Crown

by Stephen Usher

Universally recognised as the greatest speech by the finest of the Attic Orators, On the Crown is Demosthenes' vindication of his lifelong devotion to Athenian primacy among the Greek states and opposition to the advance of Philip II of Macedon. He won the case, and his opponent Aeschines went into exile.
