In Ctesiphontem Oratio, a powerful oration by Aeschines, stands as a testament to the fierce political rivalries of ancient Athens. Delivered in the 4th century BC, this speech targets Ctesiphon, who proposed the awarding of a golden crown to Demosthenes for his services to the city. Aeschines's masterful rhetoric seeks to undermine Demosthenes's reputation and challenge the legality of the decree.
This edition offers readers access to Aeschines's original Latin text, allowing for a deeper engagement with the nuances of his arguments and the elegance of his prose. Students of classical literature, history, and rhetoric will find this oration an invaluable resource for understanding the political and intellectual climate of ancient Greece and the enduring power of persuasive speech.
