Ctesiphon was an orator in Athens during the reign of Alexander the Great . He is best known for sparking the controversy that led to Demosthenes speech On the Crown and Aeschines speech Against Ctesiphon . In 336 BC , Alexander the Great s empire was spreading, and many in Athens were opposed to the ongoing wars. Among the most outspoken was the orator Demosthenes. In 336 BC, Ctesiphon proposed that Athens honor Demosthenes for services to the city by presenting him with a golden crown. This proposal became a political issue, and in 330 BC , Aeschines prosecuted Ctesiphon on charges of legal irregularities. In his most brilliant speech, On the Crown , Demosthenes effectively defended Ctesiphon and attacked vehemently those who backed Alexander the Great s empire. Demosthenes won the legal battle with Aeschines, although Aeschines legal objections to the crowning were probably valid.

distinguish Socratic method Socrates Socratic dialogue lang gr or is a genre of prose literary works developed in Ancient Greece Greece at the turn of the fourth century BC, preserved today in the dialogues of Plato and the Socratic works of Xenophon either dramatic or narrative in which characters discuss moral and philosophical problems, illustrating a version of the Socratic method . Socrates is often the main character. Most accurately, the term refers to works in which Socrates is a character, though as a genre other texts are included Laws Plato Plato s Laws and Hiero Xenophon Xenophon s Hiero are Socratic dialogues in which a wise man other than Socrates leads the discussion the Athenian Stranger and Simonides of Ceos Simonides , respectively . Likewise, the stylistic format of the dialogues can vary Plato s dialogues generally only contain the direct words of each of the speakers, while Xenophon s dialogues are written down as a continuous story, containing, along with the narration of the circumstances of the dialogue, the quotes of the speakers. According to a fragment of Aristotle , the first author of Socratic dialogue was Alexamenus of Teos , but we do not know anything else about him, whether Socrates appeared in his works, or how accurate Aristotle was in his antagonistic judgement about him. In addition to Plato and Xenophon, Antisthenes , Aeschines Socraticus Aeschines of Sphettos , Phaedo of Elis , Euclid of Megara , Simon the Shoemaker , Theocritus , Tissaphernes and Aristotle all wrote Socratic dialogues, and Cicero wrote similar dialogues in Latin on philosophical and rhetorical themes, for example De re publica .
