The celebrated orators of ancient Athens have been read and enjoyed for thousands of years. Focusing on the works of three of the greatest orators of classical antiquity -- Demosthenes, Lysias, and Hypereides -- this collection of speeches is an indispensable source for anyone interested in ancient history, classical civilization and literature, political science, and rhetoric. Each of the three sections -- The Thirty Tyrants, Philip and Athens, and Athens Under Alexander -- includes an introduction providing a historical overview of the period, and each speech is preceded by its own brief introduction. Rendered in lively, readable prose, the translations capture the energy, vigor, and power of the original texts.
