Aeschines of Miletus explained

Aeschines of Miletus (Gr. Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Αἰσχίνης ὁ Μιλήσιος) was a contemporary of Cicero,^[1] and a distinguished orator in the Asiatic style of eloquence, which, according to Cicero, "rushes with an impetuous stream. But it is not merely fluent; its language is ornate and polished."^[2]

Aeschines is said by Diogenes Laërtius to have written on politics. He died in exile on account of having spoken too freely to Pompey.^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}
