Life of Demosthenes, 1.3.3

Plutarch  translated by Bernadotte Perrin

« Plut. Dem. 3 | Plut. Dem. 3 | Plut. Dem. 4 | About This Work »

3For in my opinion two other orators could not be found who, from small and obscure beginnings, became great and powerful; who came into conflict with kings and tyrants; who lost each a daughter; who were banished from their native cities and returned with honour; and who, after taking to flight again and being captured by their enemies, ended their lives as soon as their countrymen ceased to be free.
