When you talk about fair terms with
the Thebans, Aeschines, or with the Byzantines and the Euboeans, and raise at
this time of day the question of equal contributions, in the first place, you
must be unaware that of that famous fleet of three hundred galleys that fought
for Greecethat fought for Greece:
at Salamis, 480 B.C. in former days, our city supplied two hundred;
and that she did not show any sign of complaining that she was unfairly treated,
or impeaching the statesmen whose advice she took, or airing her
dissatisfaction. That would have been discreditable indeed! No, she gave thanks
to the gods that, when all the Greeks alike were encompassed by a great peril,
she had contributed twice as much as all the rest to the common deliverance.
