No.
Google Demosthenes speeches.

Thucydides speeches are pretty good

>>9107118
>forgetting Demosthenes is only know now because he beat down Aeschines
You're looking for Aeschines' speeches. Especially the one about teenage faggots being more a scourge on the state than bribery

It's like no one outside of Slavs and a minor group of /v/ know about.

Hardcover looks better, paperback looks like an ad in a travel brochure, don't be a pleb

Right? That font shouldn't exist.

going to have to agree with the other anon

I had the exact same ambition once, I gave up after finding no proper language learning mechanism for Old English save some YouTube videos. Middle English is fairly easy to get the hang of after a while for an English speaker, given it's post-latinization.

>>9106587
Chaucer's dialect of Middle English is close enough to modern English that you can go into it blind and be fine (as long as you've got an annotated copy so you don't have to look up what "eek" means every time it comes up). if you have problems with certain lines, Harvard has a line by line translation (http://sites.fas.harvard.edu/~chaucer/CTlist.html) that is rather helpful. Old English is more difficult, and I read a translation of Beowulf so I can't really comment on it
