Aeschines

This was a series of speeches given by Aeschines, the famous Greek orator. I found them to still hold some relevance and explain the political situation at the time in Greece and that these words, imbued with some skill, were reflective of what the author felt and how the different layers of governance and policy were brought together. These were all set during different trials of the day and it is enlightening to see how the Greeks presented their cases and went about trying to convince the juries of their arguments.

Overall, an interesting read. 3.25 stars.… (mer)
