Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 9 (search)
Once again, when news came of the siege of Pydna, of Potidaea, of Methone, of Pagasae,In 357, 356, 354, and
352 respectively. and of the rest of them—not to weary you
with a complete catalogue—if we had at that time shown the required
zeal in marching to the help of the first that appealed, we should have found
Philip today much more humble and accommodating. Unfortunately we always neglect
the present chance and imagine that the future will right itself, and so, men of
Athens, Philip has us to thank
for his prosperity. We have raised him to a greater height than ever king of
Macedonia reached before. Today
this opportunity comes to us from the Olynthians unsought, a fairer opportunity
than we have ever had befo
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 12 (search)
But if we leave these
men too in the lurch, Athenians, and then Olynthus is crushed by Philip, tell me what is to prevent him
from marching henceforward just where he pleases. I wonder if any one of you in
this audience watches and notes the steps by which Philip, weak at first, has
grown so powerful. First he seized Amphipolis, next Pydna, then Potidaea,
after that Methone, lastly he
invaded Thessaly.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 4 (search)
But if anyone here, Athenians, is inclined to think
Philip too formidable, having regard to the extent of his existing resources and
to our loss of all our strongholds, he is indeed right, yet he must reflect that
we too, men of Athens, once held
Pydna, Potidaea, and Methone and had in our own hands all the surrounding territory,
and that many of the native tribes now in his service were then free and
independent and were indeed more inclined to side with us than with Philip.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 35 (search)
And yet, men of Athens, how do you account for the fact that the Panathenaic
festival and the Dionysia are always held at the right date, whether experts or
laymen are chosen by lot to manage them, that larger sums are lavished upon them
than upon any one of your expeditions, that they are celebrated with bigger
crowds and greater splendor than anything else of the kind in the world, whereas
your expeditions invariably arrive too late, whether at Methone or at Pagasae or at Potidaea?
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 26 (search)
[And this is easily proved by a short
calculation.] I pass over Olynthus and Methone and Apollonia and the two and thirty cities in or near Thrace, all of which Philip has destroyed so
ruthlessly that a traveler would find it hard to say whether they had ever been
inhabited. I say nothing of the destruction of the important nation of the
Phocians. But how stands the case of the Thessalians? Has he not robbed them of
their free constitutions and of their very cities, setting up tetrarchies in
order to enslave them, not city by city, but tribe by tribe?

Dinarchus, Against Philocles, section 17 (search)
Then why will you wait, Athenians? What further crimes do you wish to hear of
greater than those we have mentioned? Was it not you and your ancestors who made
no allowance for Timotheus,This passage
corresponds almost word for word with Din. 1.14.
See note on that. though he had sailed round the Peloponnese and beaten the Spartans in the
sea-fight at Corcyra, though his father
was Conon who liberated Greece and he
himself had taken Samos, Methone, Pydna, Potidaea, and twenty cities besides? You did not take
this record into consideration at all, or allow such services to outweigh the
case before you or the oaths which you swear before giving your verdict, but
fined him a hundred talents, because Aristophon said he had been bribed by the
Chians and Rhodians.
