Sommario/riassunto

This is a detailed study of the Athenian politician Aeschines. Often overshadowed by his more famous rival Demosthenes, Aeschines played a major role in the events that marked the rise of Macedonian power in Greece and the transition from the classical to the Hellinistic period.
