Demosthenes by Plutarch is a biography of the ancient Greek orator and statesman Demosthenes. Plutarch, a Greek historian and philosopher, wrote this book in the 1st century AD, several centuries after Demosthenes' death. The book chronicles Demosthenes' life, beginning with his childhood and education. It discusses his struggles with speech impediments and how he overcame them to become one of the greatest orators in ancient Greece. Demosthenes' political career is also explored, including his opposition to the expansionist policies of Philip II of Macedon and his efforts to rally Athens against him. The book also delves into Demosthenes' personal life, including his financial troubles and his relationships with women. Plutarch provides insight into Demosthenes' character, portraying him as a man of integrity and principle. Throughout the book, Plutarch draws comparisons between Demosthenes and other famous figures from Greek history, such as Pericles and Themistocles. He also provides commentary on the political and social context of ancient Greece, offering a glimpse into the world in which Demosthenes lived and worked. Overall, Demosthenes by Plutarch is a rich and detailed biography of one of the most important figures in ancient Greek history. It offers both a historical and a personal perspective on Demosthenes' life and legacy, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greece, politics, or oratory.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Plutarch's Lives: V12 Harvard Classics, by Plutarch .
