Aeschines Against Ctesiphon: On The Crown is a book written by Rufus Byam Richardson in 1889. The book is a translation of the famous speech given by Aeschines against Ctesiphon, which took place in Athens in 330 BC. The speech is a legal argument against Ctesiphon, who had proposed to honor Demosthenes with a crown for his services to the city. Aeschines, a rival of Demosthenes, argued that he was not worthy of such an honor and that Ctesiphon had violated the laws of Athens by proposing it. The book provides a detailed analysis of the speech, including its historical context, its rhetorical devices, and its impact on Athenian politics. It also includes a comprehensive introduction and notes to help readers understand the speech and its significance. Overall, Aeschines Against Ctesiphon: On The Crown is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Greek history, law, and rhetoric.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
