Sommario/riassunto

Demosthenes's Philippic I was the first speech by a prominent politician against the growing power of Philip II of Macedon. Aiming this commentary at advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students, Cecil Wooten addresses rhetorical and stylistic matters, the historical background, and grammatical problems.
