Now it would be easy for me, at a trifling
expense, to stop their abuse and set them singing my praises. But I should be
ashamed if I were known to purchase your goodwill from men who, besides their
other faults, have reached such a height of impudence that they even venture to
dispute with me about Amphipolis, to which I think I can advance a far better claim than
my rivals.
Demosthenes, On Organization, section 23 (search)
Rewards to citizens, rightly thus granted
by our ancestors, are wrongly granted by you. But how about foreigners? When
Meno of Pharsalus gave twelve talents
of silver towards the war at Eion near
AmphipolisPresumably in 424, but Themistocles does not
mention it. The historical examples here are borrowed from Dem. 23 and supported us with two hundred cavalry of his
own vassals, our ancestors did not vote him the citizenship, but only gave him
immunity from taxes.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 69 (search)
No one will make that assertion. The
only remaining, and the necessary, policy was to resist with justice all his
unjust designs. That policy was adopted by you from the start in a spirit that
well became you, and forwarded by me in all my proposals, according to the
opportunities of my public life. I admit the charge. Tell me; what ought I to
have done? I put the question to you, Aeschines, dismissing for the moment
everything else—Amphipolis, Pydna,
Potidaea, Halonnesus. I have no
recollection of those places
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 22 (search)
He had even heard some Euboeans, who
were thoroughly frightened by the friendship that had been cemented between
Philip and Athens, utter these very
words: “Gentlemen of the Embassy, we know all about the terms on which
you have concluded peace with Philip, and we are aware that you have given up
Amphipolis to him, and that
he has agreed to hand over Euboea to
you.” He had also, he said, settled another matter, but he thought it
better not to mention it just yet—some of his colleagues were already
so jealous of him. This was a veiled allusion to Or

But if the truth is otherwise, if they
spoke handsomely of Philip and told you that he was the friend of Athens, that he would deliver the Phocians,
that he would curb the arrogance of the Thebans, that he would bestow on you
many boons of more value than Amphipolis, and would restore Euboea and Oropus, if only he got his peace,—if, I
say, by such assertions and such promises they have deceived and deluded you,
and wellnigh stripped you of all Attica, find him guilty, and do not reinforce the outrages, for I
can find no better word,—that you have endured, by returning to your
homes laden with the curse and the guilt of perjury, for the sake of the bribes
that they have pocket

Aeschines, on the other hand, gave
away and sold Amphipolis, a city
which the King of Persia and all
Greece recognized as yours,
speaking in support of the resolution moved by Philocrates. It was highly
becoming in him, was it not to remind us of Solon? Not content with this
performance at home, he went to Macedonia, and never mentioned the place with which his mission
ates. It was highly
becoming in him, was it not to remind us of Solon? Not content with this
performance at home, he went to Macedonia, and never mentioned the place with which his mission
was concerned. So he stated in his own report, for no doubt you remember how he
said “I, too, had something to say about Amphipolis, but I left it out to give
Demosthenes a chance of dealing with that subject.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 254 (search)
I rose and told you that he had never once left to
me anything that he wanted to say to Philip: he would sooner give a man a share
of his life-blood than a share of his speech. The truth is that, having accepted
money, he could hardly confront Philip, who gave him the money on purpose that
he might not restore Amphipolis.
Now, please, take and read these elegiac verses of Solon, to show the jury how
Solon detested people like the defendant.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 326 (search)
Instead of the
surrender to you of Euboea in exchange
for Amphipolis, Philip is
establishing positions in Euboea as a
base of attack upon you, and is constantly plotting against Geraestus and
Megara. Instead of recovering
Oropus, we are making an armed expedition to secure DrymusDrymus, Panactus: frontier-towns on the edge of Boeotia. and the district of

operation in which we never engaged so long as the Phocians were safe.
