Aeskhines (2)Aeschines

(389-314 BCE) Athenian orator; a rival of Demosthenes.

Aeskhines began his public career as an actor but soon became involved in politics; his lifelong opposition to Demosthenes is demonstrated in his extant speeches but he is generally considered less eloquent and, in many other ways, inferior to Demosthenes.
