Demosthenes' speech On the Crown is one of the finest artistic
achievements of Greek prose. Delivered in an Athenian court in 330
BCE, and circulated in written form soon afterwards, the speech
made an immediate impression on contemporary Greeks and for
centuries served the writers and speakers of antiquity as the
primary model of forceful argument and vigorous style. In this
volume Harvey Yunis presents a new edition of the speech. The book
contains an introductory essay outlining the historical situation
that gave rise to the speech, the nature of Demosthenes' rhetorical
art, and the history of the text. A new Greek text of the speech is
accompanied by a select textual apparatus. The greater part of the
book consists of a commentary, which elucidates the text and makes
clear how Demosthenes achieved his objectives.
