Book Overview

The I. II. III. Philippics of Demosthenes is a book written by the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes in 1861. It is a collection of speeches, known as Philippics, that were delivered by Demosthenes to the Athenian assembly in the 4th century BC. The speeches are aimed at persuading the Athenians to take action against Philip II of Macedon, who was seen as a threat to the independence of Athens and Greece as a whole. The speeches cover a range of topics, including the importance of unity among the Greek city-states, the need for military preparedness, and the dangers of appeasing Philip. The I. II. III. Philippics of Demosthenes is considered a classic of ancient Greek literature and a valuable source for understanding the political and social context of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
