Dinarchus

or Deinarchus

(born c. 360 BC—died after 292) Professional speechwriter at Athens. He rose to fame through his speeches against Demosthenes and others accused of misusing the treasury. His work, however, reflects the decline of Attic oratory; his surviving speeches show little creativity, abuse instead of reason, and plagiarism.
