Description: 1889 The Olynthiac Of Demosthenes Antiquarian Ancient Greece History Book The Olynthiac And Other Public Orations Of DemosthenesTranslated by Charles Rann KennedyPublished by George Bell And Sons: London 1889 "Demosthenes (384 – 322 BC) was a Greek statesman and orator in ancient Athens. His orations constitute a significant expression of contemporary Athenian intellectual prowess and provide insight into the politics and culture of ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. Demosthenes learned rhetoric by studying the speeches of previous great orators. He delivered his first judicial speeches at the age of 20, in which he successfully argued that he should gain from his guardians what was left of his inheritance. For a time, Demosthenes made his living as a professional speechwriter (logographer) and a lawyer, writing speeches for use in private legal suits."
