The Athens of Demosthenes, Paperback / softback Book

The Athens of Demosthenes Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Originally published in 1952, this book contains the text of a lecture delivered at the University of Cambridge that year by prominent Classical historian Arnold Jones on the Athenian audience to the orations of Demosthenes.

Demosthenes famously castigated his fellow Athenians at many points in his career, and Jones examines the evidence provided by Demosthenes and his fellow orators for clues as to the real disposition of their listeners and how they could have been persuaded by the politicians of the day.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in ancient history or ancient oratory.
