Works of Demosthenes (original) (raw)
Demosthenes (Greek: Δημοσθένης; 384–322 BC) was a prominent Greek statesman and orator of ancient Athens. His orations constitute the last significant expression of Athenian intellectual prowess and provide a thorough insight into the politics and culture of ancient Greece. The Alexandrian Canon compiled by Aristophanes of Byzantium and Aristarchus of Samothrace recognized Demosthenes as one of the ten greatest Attic orators and logographers. Cicero acclaimed him as "the perfect orator" and the one who "has pre-eminence over all others" ("inter omnes unus excellat"), while Quintilian extolled him as lex orandi ("the standard of oratory").

| dbo:abstract | Demóstenes (Atenas, 384 a. C. - Calauria, 322 a. C.) fue un importante político y orador griego que nació y vivió en Atenas. Sus obras constituyen la última expresión significativa del progreso intelectual ateniense, y ofrecen una profunda visión de la cultura y la política de la antigua Grecia. El llamado Canon Alejandrino, compilado por Aristófanes de Bizancio y Aristarco de Samotracia, reconoce a Demóstenes como uno de los 10 mayores logógrafos y oradores áticos. Según Longino, Demóstenes "perfeccionó al máximo el tono del discurso idealista, pasional, abundante, preparado, rápido".Cicerón le aclamó como "el orador perfecto" al que no le faltaba de nada y Quintiliano le alabó dirigiéndose a él como "lex orandi" ("la norma de la oratoria") y diciendo de él que "inter omnes unus excellat" ("se encuentra sólo entre el resto de oradores"). (es) Demostene (in greco antico: Δημοσθένης, Demostènes; 384-322 a.C.) è stato uno statista ed oratore ateniese, le cui opere, in particolare le orazioni, costituiscono l'ultima significativa espressione della vivacità culturale di Atene oltre a fornire uno spaccato approfondito della politica e della cultura greca a cavallo tra l'età classica ed ellenistica. Infatti, già il Canone di Alessandria, redatto da Aristofane di Bisanzio e Aristarco di Samotracia, pose Demostene tra i dieci grandi logografi ed oratori attici; Cicerone lo acclamò come "oratore perfetto", mentre Quintiliano lo definì lex orandi ("legge dell'oratoria") ed affermava inter omnes unus excellat ovvero che "solo fra tutti risplende". Nel XIV secolo, l'erudito bizantino Teodoro Metochite scrisse un Saggio critico su Demostene e Aristide (Ἐπιστασία καὶ κρίσις τῆς τῶν δύο ῥητόρων εὐδοκιμήσεως τοῦ τε Δημοσθένους καὶ Ἀριστείδου), in cui metteva a confronto la tecnica oratoria di Demostene e quella di Elio Aristide (II secolo), sostenendo che ciascuno dei due fosse il campione incontrastato dell'oratoria della propria epoca.
