Didymos: On Demosthenes

The first-century BC Alexandrian scholar Didymos was nicknamed 'Bronze-guts' for his prolific output. But his work only survived in marginalia until 1901, when a papyrus containing part of his commentary on some speeches of the Greek orator-politician Demosthenes came to light. This edition provides a new text, a facing translation, an introduction, and extensive commentary. The discussion is fully accessible, since all Greek is translated.
