Demosthenes

(384-322 BCE) An Athenian statesman and orator; usually noted as the greatest orator in Greek history.

As a young man he was defrauded of his inheritance and, by personal inclination or necessity, began his study of Athenian law; he successfully reclaimed what was left of his rightful property and went on to become one of the most sought after speech writers in Athens; volumes have been written about his life and times and I refer you to these works for a complete account of his remarkable life.
