MacDowell describes and assesses all of the great orator's speeches, including those for the lawcourts as well as the addresses to the Ekklesia. Besides the genuine speeches, MacDowell also covers those which have probably wrongly been ascribed to Demosthenes, such as the ones written for delivery by Apollodorus; and he considers too the Epistles, the Prooemia, and the puzzlingErotic Speech.Speeches, addresses, etc., GreekHistory and criticismRhetoric, AncientOratory, AncientPolitical oratoryGreeceHistorySpeeches, addresses, etc., GreekHistory and criticism.Rhetoric, Ancient.Oratory, Ancient.Political oratoryHistory.885.01MacDowell Douglas M(Douglas Maurice)940968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996208239303316Demosthenes the orator2351580UNISA
