Against Leptines is one of the most important speeches delivered by Demosthenes. It argues against the abolishment of all honorific exemptions (ateleiai) from festival liturgies in the city of Athens. Kremmydas' commentary features an extensive introduction, Greek text, and a facing English translation.
In the most comprehensive account available of the texts of Demosthenes, Douglas M. MacDowell describes and assesses all of the great orator's speeches, including those for the lawcourts as well as the addresses to the Ekklesia. Besides the genuine speeches, MacDowell also covers those which have probably wrongly been ascribed to Demosthenes, such as the ones written for delivery by Apollodorus; and he considers too the Epistles, the Prooemia, and the puzzling Erotic Speech.
