The I. II. III. Philippics Of Demosthenes is a book written by the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes in 1861. The book is a collection of three speeches, known as the Philippics, that Demosthenes delivered to the Athenian assembly in the 4th century BC. These speeches were directed against Philip II of Macedon, who was seeking to expand his power and influence over the Greek city-states. In the speeches, Demosthenes warns his fellow Athenians of the danger posed by Philip and urges them to take action to resist his aggression. The speeches are considered some of the greatest examples of political oratory in history, and have been studied and admired for centuries for their eloquence, passion, and persuasive power. This edition of the Philippics includes an introduction and notes by the translator, as well as a glossary of Greek terms and names.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
