Demosthenes was punched in the face by Meidias in the theatre at
Athens in 348 BC. His prosecution - a masterpiece of Greek
oratorical prose - is one of the most intriguing forensic speeches
to survive. It not only details Demosthenes' personal feud with
Meidias but, in passing, gives valuable information about Athenian
law and festivals, and especially about the Greek concept of hubris
(insolent behaviour). This edition, originally published in 1990,
represents the latest scholarship on the text, collating a larger
number of MSS than hitherto. It includes a very full introduction
on historical, legal, literary and textual matters; a complete
facing-page translation; and a detailed commentary.
