supports: Demochares (c. 355275 BC), nephew of Demosthenes, Athenian orator and statesman, was one of the few distinguished Athenians in the period of decline. Demosthenes ("Dmosthéns" 384  12 October 322 BC) was a Greek statesman and orator of ancient Athens. His orations constitute a significant expression of contemporary Athenian intellectual prowess and provide an insight into the politics and culture of ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. Demosthenes learned rhetoric by studying the speeches of previous great orators. He delivered his first judicial speeches at the age of 20, in which he argued effectively to gain from his guardians what was left of his inheritance. For a time, Demosthenes made his living as a professional speech-writer (logographer) and a lawyer, writing speeches for use in private legal suits. Democles ( Greek :  ; lived 4th century BC ) was an Athenian orator , and a contemporary of Demochares , among whose opponents he is mentioned . He was a disciple of Theophrastus , and is chiefly known as the defender of the children of Lycurgus against the calumnies of Moerocles and Menesaechmus . It seems that in the time of Dionysius of Halicarnassus , some orations of Democles were still extant , since that critic attributes to him an oration , which went by the name of Dinarchus . It must be observed that Dionysius and the Suda call this orator by the patronymic form of his name , Democleides , so he may be the same person called Democleides who was archon in 316 BC. He wrote a treatise on machinery . ( Vitruvius vii , introduction )
