Aeschines quotes
Aeschines was an ancient Athenian orator and statesman, recognized as a prominent rival of Demosthenes. His eloquence and rhetorical skill played a significant role in Athens' political life during the 4th century BCE. He is remembered for his speeches and the famous debates that shaped classical Greek politics. Here are 10 of his quotes:
For at a congress of the Lacedaemonian allies and the other Greeks, in which Amyntas, the father of Philip, being entitled to a seat, was represented by a delegate whose vote was absolutely under his control, he joined the other Greeks in voting to help Athens to recover possession of Amphipolis. As proof of this I presented from the public records the resolution of the Greek congress and the names of those who voted.
