Talk:Philippic

Merge?

I think this page should either be moved to wikkitionary or merged into Demosthenes

This page could go two ways. First, it could (and I think should) stay where it is. Second, the definition of philippic could be moved into the wikitionary while the sections concerning Cicero and Demosthenes could be moved into a seperate article called "Philippics." As it is, this article needs grammar lovin', more detail, cited sources, and some links to the texts in question if any are available online in the public domain. I think this article could be structured in the following way. It could start with the definition of the term philippic. An expanded discussion of the political context, subject, and textual content of Demosthenes' Philippics would follow. Then, a discussion of the political context, subject, and textual content of Cicero's Philippics would be in a section below that. That would ideally improve the expansiveness and utility of this article. I think it would be great if someone with some expertise on either Philippics were willing to take this up, because I am not very familiar with these works or the issues concerning them. trireme 18:02, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the above entirely. I dont know much about the Philippics but I was at least able to correct the most rudimentary errors that were visible in the edit I made recently. Would someone with some expertise please clean up this article [otherwise I might read up on it in the summer and sort it out]. 81.103.93.165 18:10, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Philippics

Should the sections concerning Cicero and Demosthenes could be moved into a separate article called "Philippics"? --MahaPanta (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Grammar

This article could use some serious proofing, but if I did it would be like an egg laying a chicken. --MahaPanta (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Sources

We need some links to the texts mentioned in the article. It would be really nice if we could get a copy of each in English and properly sourced. --MahaPanta (talk) 04:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The off-hand claims about Philip and Alexander being rather forgiving folk seem a bit out of place without further evidence or context.--Ian.nouvel (talk) 00:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
