Aeschines Against Ctesiphon: On The Crown is a historical book published in 1889 and written by Rufus Byam Richardson. The book is a translation of the famous speech given by Aeschines, a Greek orator, against Ctesiphon, a fellow politician, in 330 BC. The speech was given in front of the Athenian assembly and was a response to Ctesiphon’s proposal to crown Demosthenes, another Athenian politician, with a golden wreath for his services to the city. Aeschines argued that Demosthenes was not worthy of such an honor and instead accused him of corruption and treason. The book provides a detailed analysis of the speech, including its historical context, rhetorical techniques, and the political climate of Athens at the time. It also includes an introduction by the author, providing background information on Aeschines and the events leading up to the speech. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek history, politics, or rhetoric.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
