Aeschines Against Ctesiphon: On The Crown is a book written by Rufus Byam Richardson in 1889. The book is a translation of one of the most famous speeches in ancient Greek history, delivered by Aeschines in 330 BCE. The speech is addressed to the Athenian assembly and is a prosecution against Ctesiphon for proposing to crown Demosthenes with a golden wreath. Aeschines argues that Demosthenes is not worthy of such an honor and that Ctesiphon has violated the law by proposing it. The book provides a detailed analysis of the speech and its historical context, as well as a translation of the original Greek text. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars of ancient Greek literature, and anyone interested in the history of Athens and its political system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
