This volume contains the orations of Demosthenes against Philip II of Macedon, presented in the original Ancient Greek. A vital source for understanding Athenian politics and society in the 4th century BC, these speeches, including the "Philippics" and "Olynthiacs", reveal Demosthenes' passionate defense of Athenian liberty against the encroaching power of Philip. Edited with commentary by Evelyn Abbott, this edition provides valuable insights into the historical context and rhetorical strategies employed by one of history's greatest orators. For students of classics, history, and rhetoric, "Orations against Philip" offers a profound examination of political struggle and the enduring power of persuasive speech.
