loginThis book is designed primarily to provide students of Greek history with a collection of translated speeches illustrating political developments between the end of the Peloponnesian War (404 B.C.) and the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.). The speeches in this collection were delivered in Athens: some in the Assembly, others in courts of law. All but one were written by residents of Athens; the sole exception, a letter penned by Philip II of Macedon, was read out to the Athenian Assembly by an ambassador. These speeches, therefore, are sources of first importance for Athenian domestic and foreign politics.
