Author Description

This volume contains two works by Isocrates: "Ad Demonicum" and "Panegyricus." "Ad Demonicum" offers moral and practical advice, traditionally presented as guidance from Isocrates to Demonicus. "Panegyricus" is a celebrated oration advocating for Greek unity and leadership against the Persian Empire. Both texts showcase Isocrates' mastery of rhetoric and his profound influence on Greek political and ethical thought.
