Description
Demosthenes, Speeches 20-22 is the twelfth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece series, presenting three important speeches from the earliest years of Demosthenes' political career.
These speeches, Against Leptines, Against Meidias, and Against Androtion, offer valuable insights into Athenian culture, including women and family life, slavery, and religion, and provide evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, and political ideology.
Translated into contemporary English by Edward M. Harris, with introductions and extensive notes, this volume provides a unique window into the life and oratory of one of classical antiquity's greatest orators.
