In our most
beautiful and highly decorated city what statue, or what painting is there, which
has not been taken and brought away from conquered enemies? But the villas of those
men are adorned and filled with numerous and most beautiful spoils of our most
faithful allies. Where do you think is the wealth of foreign nations, which they are
all now deprived of, when you see Athens, Pergamos, Cyzicus, Miletus, Chios, Samos, all Asia in short, and Achaia,
and Greece, and Sicily, now all contained in a few villas? But all
these things, as I was saying, your allies abandon and are indifferent to now. They

was even the chief instigator.

Here, while you were praetor, galleys of
pirates sailed about, where previously the only fleet that had ever entered in the
history of the world, was the Athenian fleet of three hundred ships, which forced
its way in by its weight and its numbers; and that fleet was in that very harbour
defeated and destroyed, owing to the natural character of the place and harbour.
Here first was the power of that splendid city defeated, weakened, and impaired. In
this harbour, shipwreck was made of the nobleness and dominion and glory of
Athens. See the
seventh book of Thucydides.
