Demosthenes
Greek orator, generally considered the greatest of the Greek orators. He was a pupil of Isaeus,
and—although the story of his putting pebbles in his mouth to improve his voice is only a legend—he seems to
have been forced to overcome a weak voice and delivery. After years of private practice in law, he became a political orator
in 351 b.c. when he delivered the first of three Philippics. [eng]
