Description
This volume collects speeches by four orators involved in Athens' ill-fated resistance to the Philip and Macedonian juggernaut. Lycurgus, a highly regarded administrator of the city's financial affairs, was with Demosthenes in the anti-Macedon faction; Athens refused to surrender him to Alexander the Great. Hyperides, the wittiest of the Attic orators, was also hostile to Philip and led Athens' patriots after 325. Dinarchus, on the other hand, favored an oligarchy under Macedonian control and assailed Demosthenes. Demades too supported the Macedonian cause. The collection offers yet another window on this tumultuous period.
