Demosthenes (384–322 bc), Athenian orator and statesman, who according to Plutarch overcame an initial stammer by training himself to speak with pebbles in his mouth.

Demosthenes (/dɪˈmɒs.θəniːz/; Greek: Δημοσθένης, romanized: Dēmosthénēs; Attic Greek: [dɛːmosˈtʰenɛːs]; 384 – 12 October 322 BC) was a Greek statesman and orator of ancient Athens. This time he was convicted, fined fifty talents, and imprisoned. Athens can secure the permanence of her foreign possessions only in one way -- by being strong enough to hold them.
C. Wooten, "Cicero's Reactions to Demosthenes", 38–40. [97] Demosthenes' oration before the Theban people is not extant and, therefore, the arguments he used to convince the Thebans remain unknown. There -- at the invitation of Thessalians and Thebans -- he intervened in the Phocian War.
Foreign policy must be guided by a larger and more provident conception of Athenian interests. [91] When the Macedonian army approached Chersonese (now known as the Gallipoli Peninsula), an Athenian general named Diopeithes ravaged the maritime district of Thrace, thereby inciting Philip's rage. [122] Therefore, Demosthenes is accused of misjudging events, opponents and opportunities and of being unable to foresee Philip's inevitable triumph. Demosthenes found himself employed as an assistant to the public prosecutors in the assembly, in the courts, and in other public places. One evening Morgen and I were watching My Fair Lady on TV.
In January 337, at the annual winter Festival of the Dead in the Outer Ceramicus, he spoke the funeral oration over those who had fallen at Chaeronea. But the work of Demosthenes was not closed by the ruin of his cause.
Dionysius, in reply, admits that Demosthenes does at times depart from simplicity -- that his style is sometimes elaborately ornate and remote from the ordinary usage.

[15], In his speeches, Aeschines uses pederastic relations of Demosthenes as a means to attack him. Aeschines and Dinarchus also maintained that when the Arcadians offered their services for ten talents, Demosthenes refused to furnish the money to the Thebans, who were conducting the negotiations, and so the Arcadians sold out to the Macedonians. [124] His city had lost most of its Aegean allies, whereas Philip had consolidated his hold over Macedonia and was master of enormous mineral wealth. Next year (350) an Athenian force under Phocion was sent to Euboea, in support of Plutarchus, tyrant of Eretria, against the faction of Cleitarchus. He idealized his city and strove throughout his life to restore Athens' supremacy and motivate his compatriots against Philip II of Macedon. Cicero said of him that inter omnis unus excellat ("he stands alone among all the orators"), and also acclaimed him as "the perfect orator" who lacked nothing.
