The Oration of Hyperides Against Demosthenes: Respecting the Treasure of Harpalus is a historical book written by the ancient Greek orator Hyperides. The book was published in 1850 and is a detailed account of a speech given by Hyperides in Athens in 324 BC. The speech is directed at Demosthenes, a prominent politician and orator in ancient Greece, and concerns the theft of treasure by Harpalus, a former treasurer of Alexander the Great. Harpalus had fled to Athens with the stolen treasure and was seeking refuge from the Athenians. Hyperides argues that Demosthenes had conspired with Harpalus to steal the treasure and demands that he be brought to justice. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social climate of ancient Greece and the power struggles between prominent figures in Athenian society. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in ancient Greek history and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
