Aristogeiton lang grc lived 4th century BCE was an Athens Athenian orator and adversary of Demosthenes and Dinarchus . His father, Scydimus, died in prison, as he was a debtor of the state and unable to pay his son, Aristogeiton, who inherited the debt, was likewise imprisoned for some time. He is called a Demagogy demagogue and a sycophant , and his eloquence is described as of a coarse and vehement character. ref Hermogenes of Tarsus , De Formis Oratoriis , i Photius I of Constantinople Photius , Bibliotheca , cod. 268 Plutarch , Parallel Lives , Phocion , http www.attalus.org old phocion1.html 10 10 Quintilian , Institutio oratoria , http penelope.uchicago.edu Thayer E Roman Texts Quintilian Institutio Oratoria 12D .html 10 xii. 10 ref His impudence drew upon him the surname of the dog.

First appearing in 1797, The Columbian Orator , a collection of political essays, poems, and dialogues, was widely used in American schoolrooms in the first quarter of the 19th century to teach reading and speaking. Many of the speeches included in the anthology celebrated republican virtues and promoted patriotism, and this was typical of many readers of that period. The Columbian Orator is an example of progymnasmata , containing examples for students to copy and imitate. In the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , the former slave and abolitionist writer Douglass describes how he got hold of a copy of the Columbian Orator at age 12, an event with far reaching consequences for his life. The Columbian Orator , became a symbol not only of human rights , but also of the power of eloquence and articulation.

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.

Hegesippus was a statesman and orator, nicknamed knot , probably from the way in which he wore his hair. He lived in the time of Demosthenes , of whose anti Macedonian policy he was an enthusiastic supporter. In 343 BC, he was one of the ambassadors sent to Macedonia to discuss, amongst other matters, the restoration of the island of Halonnesus, which had been seized by Philip. The mission was unsuccessful, but soon afterwards Philip wrote to Athens, offering to resign possession of the island or to submit to arbitration the question of ownership. In reply to this letter the oration De Halonneso was delivered, which, although included among the speeches of Demosthenes, is generally considered to be by Hegesippus. Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Plutarch , however, favour the authorship of Demosthenes. The Middle Comedy poet Crobylus is sometimes confounded with Hegesippus.

Orphan date February 2009 Phaeax Greek language Greek lang grc was an Athens Athenian orator and statesman. He was of good famity, being the son of Erasistratus . The date of his birth is not known, but he was a contemporary of Nicias and Alcibiades . Plutarch Alcib. 13 says, that he and Nicias were the only rivals from whom Alcibiades had any thing to fear when he entered upon public life. Phaeax, like Alcibiades, was at the time just rising to distinction. In 422 BC 422 BCE Phaeax with two others was sent as an ambassador to Italy and Sicily , to endeavor to induce the allies of the Athenians in that quarter and the other Siceliots to aid the Leontines against the Syracuse, Sicily Syracusans . He succeeded with Camarina and Agrigentum , but his failure at Gela led him to abandon the attempt as hopeless. In his way back he did some service to the Athenian cause among the states of Italy. Thucydides Thucyd. v. 4, 5. According to Theophrastus ap. Plut. it was Phaeax, and not Nicias, with whom Alcibiades united for the purpose of ostracizing Hyperbolus . Most authorities, however, affirmed that it was Nicias. Plut. l.c. Nic. 11, Aristid. 7. In the Lives of the Ten Orators Andoc. there is mention of a contest between Phaeax and Andocides , and a defence of the latter against the former. It is difficult to say to what period this could have referred. Andocides did not come into notice until after the affair of the mutilation of the Hermae. Phaeax was of engaging manners, but had no great abilities as a speaker. According to Eupolis ap. Plut. Alcib. 13 he was a fluent talker, but quite unable to speak. Comp. A. Gellius, N. A. i. 15. Aristophanes gives a description of his style of speaking Equit. 1377, etc. , from which we also gather that, on one occasion, he was brought to trial for some capital offence and acquitted. There has been a good deal of controversy respecting the speech against Alcibiades, commonly attributed to Andocides, which Taylor maintained to be the production ... more details

John Webster , aka Mo u hammed Jon Webster , or more simply just Webster circa 1913 15 December 2008 , was a soap box orator and public speaker who principally plied his trade at Speakers Corner near Marble Arch at Hyde Park, London and beneath the Moreton Bay Fig trees of The Domain, Sydney from the early 1950s till the late 1980s. He also made sorties into the then wilds of Arabia, Tasmania, Melbourne s Yarra Bank and various other outposts of the erstwhile British Empire. Webster, who almost always referred to himself in the third person, cultivated a provocative oratorical style of delivering a wide reaching and eclectic philosophy in a hybrid carny barking cockney Australian accent. He was the most prominent and listened to of all long term speakers at the Sydney Domain. Journalist John Edwards wrote in 1971 The only modern force is the inimitible sic Webster who, lately returned from England, is responsible for most of the popularity of the Sydney Domain. ref John Edwards The National Times , Dec 27th 1971 p. 5 ref Nene King observed of a day spent at the Sydney Domain Webster no first name, no mister commanded the largest audience as he waved a a verbal flag for the British Empire We Englishmen are God s gift to the whole world. ref Nene King The Sydney Morning Herald , June 28, 1971 p. 8 ref Ideological Development and Weltanschauung Webster, by his own confession, navigated the whole gamut of ideological spectra from the centre to the far left, then over to the extreme right and back to the middle again.

one source date February 2012 no footnotes date February 2012 Leptines lang grc was an Athens Athenian orator . He is known as the proposer of a law that no Athenian, whether citizen or resident alien with the sole exception of the descendants of Harmodius and Aristogeiton , should be exempt from the public charges leitourgiai for the state festivals. The object was to provide funds for the festivals and public spectacles at a time when both the treasury and the citizens generally were short of money. It was further asserted that many of the recipients of immunity were really unworthy of it. Against this law Demosthenes delivered 354 BC his well known speech Against Leptines in support of the proposal of Ctesippus that all the cases of immunity should be carefully investigated. Great stress is laid on the reputation for ingratitude and breach of faith which the abolition of immunities would bring upon the state. Besides, the law itself had been passed unconstitutionally, for an existing law confirmed these privileges, and by the constitution of Solon no law could be enacted until any existing law which it contravened had been repealed. The law was probably condemned. Nothing further is known of Leptines. See the edition of the speech by John Edwin Sandys JE Sandys 1890 .

The new group stood in the Agora of Athens and its composition is known from Roman copies. With Nesiotes Kritios made other statues, of bronze, dedicated on the Acropolis, of which only their inscribed bases remain to give testament. The head of a marble statue found on the Acropolis so much resembles the copies of one of the Tyrannicides&mdash Harmodius&mdash that it has been called the Kritios Boy now in the Acropolis Museum . Its easy naturalism and relaxed contrapposto set it apart from the Late Archaic conventional Kouros kouroi that preceded it. It was re discovered too late 1865 to have had an effect on Neoclassical sculpture , as it must have done if it had been known a century earlier.
