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, Olynthiac 2, section 6 (search)
For my own part, Athenians, I
too should be inclined to regard Philip with mingled fear and admiration, if I
saw that his success had crowned a career of integrity. But when I consider him
attentively, I find that at the outset, when the Olynthians were anxious to
consult you, but certain persons were for excluding them from our Assembly, he
won our simple hearts by promising to hand over Amphipolis to us and by negotiating
that secret treatyThe proposed surrender of
Pydna in exchange for
Amphipolis. once
so much talked about.
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.
