Description:

Demosthenes is regarded as one of the greatest orators of classical antiquity. This volume contains his Funeral Oration for those who died in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, as well as the so-called Erotic Essay, a rhetorical exercise in which the speaker eulogises the youth Epicrates for his looks and physical prowess.
