Libanius, Hypotheses to the Orations of Demosthenes 

Craig Gibson, trans., edition of April 30, 2003

page 13 of 58

· § 12 (Dem. 13) ·

This speech is no longer a Philippic, but is simply a deliberative speech.11 For when the Athenians are holding an assembly about the Theoric Fund, Demosthenes comes forward, tries to persuade them to get organized, urges those serving in the army and those Greeks who are fighting in the front lines to restore their ancient honor, and compares the achievements of today to those in the time of their ancestors, showing them that achievements of today are trivial and inconsequential compared to those of ancient times.

— Notes —

Note 11   The proper classification of speeches into groups was a matter of great concern for ancient critics.
