قصة الكتاب :
The Second Philippic is an oration that was delivered by the Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes between 344 BC-343 BC . The speech constitutes the second of the four philippics the orator is said to have delivered . In response to the complaints of the Peloponnesian cities, Demosthenes delivered the Second Philippic, a vehement attack against Philip and his Athenian supporters . The most serious accusation against the King of Macedon is that he violates the terms of the peace of 346 BC . According to Demosthenes, his countrymen were misled by Philip\'s friends, who convinced them that the King of Macedon would save the Phocians and humiliate Thebes . Nevertheless, this oration is not as passionate as the First Philippic, since Demosthenes prefers to foster caution .
