Ctesiphon was an orator in Athens during the reign of Alexander the Great . He is best known for sparking the controversy that led to Demosthenes speech On the Crown and Aeschines speech Against Ctesiphon . In 336 BC , Alexander the Great s empire was spreading, and many in Athens were opposed to the ongoing wars. Among the most outspoken was the orator Demosthenes. In 336 BC, Ctesiphon proposed that Athens honor Demosthenes for services to the city by presenting him with a golden crown. This proposal became a political issue, and in 330 BC , Aeschines prosecuted Ctesiphon on charges of legal irregularities. In his most brilliant speech, On the Crown , Demosthenes effectively defended Ctesiphon and attacked vehemently those who backed Alexander the Great s empire. Demosthenes won the legal battle with Aeschines, although Aeschines legal objections to the crowning were probably valid.

In literature , the tritagonist is the third most important character of a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist . In Ancient Greek drama , the tritagonist was the third member of the acting troupe. As a character, a tritagonist may act as the instigator or cause of the sufferings of the protagonist. Despite being the least sympathetic character of the drama, he occasions the situations by which pity and sympathy for the protagonist are excited. ref name muller History of the Literature of Ancient Greece , Muller & Donaldson 1858 . ref rp 451 The part of the tritagonist emerged from earlier forms of two actor drama. Where two actors only allowed for a principal character and his adversary, moving the part of adversary to a third actor the tritagonist allowed for the second actor the deuteragonist to play roles as a confidant or aide to the principal character, and thereby elicit greater character depth from the principal character by having the protagonist explain their feelings and motivations to an on stage listener. ref name muller rp 451 As Ancient Greek theatre recitations were partly melodic, the role of the tritagonist would typically go to performer with a voice in the bass voice type bass range as compared to the protagonist as tenor and the deuteragonist as baritone . ref name mantzius A History of Theatrical Art , Mantzius 1903 . ref rp 172 Cicero, in his Divinatio in Caecilium , reported that the tritagonist being a role of lesser importance than the protagonist would often have to subdue their voice if they were naturally stronger than the protagonist. ref Divinatio in Caecilium , Cicero, s. 45. ref Notable Ancient Greek actors who worked in this role include the orator Aeschines , who was held by Demosthenes to have been untalented as a tritagonist, ref name mantzius rp 175 and Myniscus, who ... more details

Socrates Platonism Socratic dialogue lang gr or is a genre of prose literary works developed in Ancient Greece Greece at the turn of the fourth century BC, preserved today in the dialogues of Plato and the Socratic works of Xenophon either dramatic or narrative in which characters discuss moral and philosophical problems, illustrating a version of the Socratic method . Socrates is often the main character. Most accurately, the term refers to works in which Socrates is a character, though as a genre other texts are included Laws Plato Plato s Laws and Hiero Xenophon Xenophon s Hiero are Socratic dialogues in which a wise man other than Socrates leads the discussion the Athenian Stranger and Simonides of Ceos Simonides , respectively . Likewise, the stylistic format of the dialogues can vary Plato s dialogues generally only contain the direct words of each of the speakers, while Xenophon s dialogues are written down as a continuous story, containing, along with the narration of the circumstances of the dialogue, the quotes of the speakers. According to a fragment of Aristotle , the first author of Socratic dialogue was Alexamenus of Teos , but we do not know anything else about him, whether Socrates appeared in his works, or how accurate Aristotle was in his antagonistic judgement about him. In addition to Plato and Xenophon, Antisthenes , Aeschines Socraticus Aeschines of Sphettos , Phaedo of Elis , Euclid of Megara , Simon the Shoemaker , Theocritus , Tissaphernes and Aristotle all wrote Socratic dialogues, and Cicero wrote similar dialogues in Latin on philosophical and rhetorical themes, for example De re publica .
