Demochăres

(Δημοχάρης). An Athenian, the son of the sister of Demosthenes, and well known as an orator. Upon the restoration of the democracy by Demetrius Poliorcetes in B.C. 306, Demochares was at the head of the popular party for several years. He left orations and an elaborate history of his own times, only fragments of which remain. See the essay by Droysen in the Zeitschrift für die Alterthumswissenschaft (1836), xx. and xxi.
