Along with the other \u003cem\u003ePhilippics\u003c\/em\u003e of Demosthenes', it is arguably one of the finest deliberative speeches from antiquity. The present volume provides the first commentary in English on the \u003cem\u003ePhilippics\u003c\/em\u003e since 1907 and promises to encourage more study of this essential Greek orator. Aiming his commentary at advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students, Cecil Wooten addresses rhetorical and stylistic matters, historical background, and grammatical problems. In addition to a full commentary on \u003cem\u003ePhilippic\u003c\/em\u003e I, this volume includes essays that outline \u003cem\u003ePhilippics\u003c\/em\u003e II and III, set them in their historical context, and emphasize the differences between these later speeches and the first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46887557365911,"sku":"9780195333275","price":3074.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195333275.webp?v=1770256405","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-commentary-on-demosthenes-philippic-i-with-rhetorical-analyses-of-philippics-ii-and-iii-9780195333275","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
