Demosthenes’ Ausgewählte Reden

Demosthenes’ Ausgewählte Reden presents a carefully curated selection of the renowned Athenian statesman and orator’s most influential speeches. This edition focuses primarily on Demosthenes’s Philippic orations, including the Olynthiacs and the First Oration Against Philip. Prepared by K. Fuhr, this ninth revised edition from 1909 builds upon the earlier work of Friedrich Blass and Karl Rehdantz, offering German readers access to Demosthenes’s powerful rhetoric. The collection also features the 'Rede über den Frieden' (Oration on Peace) and the 'Zweite Rede Gegen Philippos' (Second Oration Against Philip), providing essential context to the turbulent political landscape of ancient Greece.
