Accordingly, while the period is dominated by the Macedonian Question, Demosthenes’ early Assembly speeches are far more nuanced than the term ‘Philippic’ suggests, and the pressing crisis in Athens is first and foremost a crisis of ‘self’ not ‘other’ #Demosthenes #speeches #AtticOratory (GRBS 2020)

Today's lines from a speech
"Words alone are not enough. You must act."
- #Demosthenes, On the Situation in the Chersonese. Robin Waterfield, translator
The founders of the #American Enlightenment did speak in memes.

There is nothing stopping #HistoryMemes memes from doing the same now.
The revolution will be memeticized.
