This book is designed primarily to provide students of Greek history with a collection oftranslated speeches illustrating political developments between the end of thePeloponnesian War (404 B.C.) and the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.). Thespeeches in this collection were delivered in Athens: some in the Assembly, others incourts of law. All but one were written by residents of Athens; the sole exception, a letterpenned by Philip II of Macedon, was read out to the Athenian Assembly by anambassador. These speeches, therefore, are sources of first importance for Atheniandomestic and foreign politics.
