Conclusion; APPENDICES; Notes; References; IndexFilling a major gap in scholarship, this is the first full-length study of the Athenian politician Aeschines. Along with Isocrates, Aeschines was one of the most prominent Athenian politicians who advocated friendly ties with the Macedonian king Philip II. Though overshadowed by his famous rival Demosthenes, Aeschines played a key role in the decisive events that marked the rise of Macedonian power in Greece and formed the transition from the Classical to the Hellenistic period. Three long speeches by Aeschines, all delivered in court battles with his opponent Demosthenes, have been preserved DemocracyHistoryGreeceHistoryMacedonian Expansion, 359-323 B.CAthens (Greece)Politics and governmentElectronic books.DemocracyHistory.938/.07Harris Edward M(Monroe),184244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450420603321Aeschines and Athenian politics2255124UNINA
