Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 17 (search)
All this is a necessary provision against Philip's
sudden raids from Macedonia against
Thermopylae, the Chersonese, Olynthus, or where he will. You must present to his mind the
consideration that you may possibly shake off your excessive apathy and strike
out as you did at Euboea, and before
that, as we are told, at Haliartus, and quite recently at Thermopylae.The Athenians sent a force to Euboea in 357 (cf. Dem.
1.8). They helped the Thebans to defeat Lysander at
Haliartus in Boeotia in 395. In
1.8). They helped the Thebans to defeat Lysander at
Haliartus in Boeotia in 395. In
352, when Philip tried to march from Thessaly against Phocis, he was checked by the dispatch of an Athenian fleet
to Thermopylae.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 41 (search)
So
you, if you hear of Philip in the Chersonese, vote an expedition there; if at Thermopylae, you vote one there; if
somewhere else, you still keep pace with him to and fro. You take your marching
orders from him; you have never framed any plan of campaign for yourselves,
never foreseen any event, until you learn that something has happened or is
happening. All this was once perhaps possible; now things have come to a crisis,
so that it is no longer in your power.
Demosthenes, On the Peace, section 21 (search)
Hence today the Thebans have been partially successful in recovering
territory, but have failed lamentably to win honor and glory; for they would
presumably have gained nothing if Philip had not passed Thermopylae. That was not what they
wanted, but they put up with it all because they had the will, though not the
power, to grasp Orchomenus and
Coronea.

Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 7 (search)
Now I, men of Athens, reason thus. What did Philip first
get under his control after the Peace? Thermopylae and the Phocian government. Well, what did he make
of these? He chose to act in the interests of Thebes, not of Athens. And why so? Because, I believe, guided in his
calculations by ambition and the desire of universal dominion, regardless of the
claims of peace and quietness and justice,

Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 29 (search)
For I should never myself have
consented to serve on the embassy, nor would you, I am sure, have suspended
military operations, if you had imagined that Philip after securing peace would
act as he has done; but his words at the time were very different from his
present actions. Yes, and there are others who ought to be called upon. Whom do
I mean? The men who, when peace was made and when I, returning from the second
embassy—that sent to administer the oaths—found that the
state was being imposed upon, and spoke out and protested and refused to give up
Thermopylae and the
Phocia
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 35 (search)
Now therefore, while the danger is in the
future and is gathering head, while we can still hear one another speak, I want
to remind each one of you, however clearly he knows it, who it is that persuaded
you to abandon the Phocians and Thermopylae, the command of which gave Philip the command also
of the road to Attica and the
Peloponnesus, and who it is that
has forced you to take counsel, not for your rights and interests abroad, but
for your possessions here at home and for the war in Attica, a war which will bring distress on
every one of us, when it does come, but which really dates from that very day.
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 36 (search)
For if you had not been hoodwinked then,
there would be no anxiety in Athens,
because Philip could never, of course, have gained command of the sea and
reached Attica with his fleet, nor
could he have marched past Thermopylae and Phocis, but either he would have acted fairly
and observed the Peace by keeping quiet, or he would have been instantly engaged
in a war similar to that which made him so anxious for the Peace.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 64 (search)
Were you not deceived about Phocis, Thermopylae, the Thraceward districts, Doriscus, Serrium,
Cersobleptes himself? Is not Philip now holding the city of the Cardians, and
admitting that he holds it? Why then does he deal thus with the other Greeks,
but not with you in the same way? Because ours is the one city in the world
where immunity is granted to plead on behalf of our enemies, and where a man who
has been bribed can safely address you in person, even when you have been robbed
of your own.
