Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 318 (search)
For if he should
accept the Phocians as allies, and with your help take the oath of friendship to
them, he must at once violate the oaths he had already sworn to the Thessalians
and the Thebans, with the latter of whom he had covenanted to help them in the
subjugation of Boeotia, and with the
former to restore their rights at the Amphictyonic Council. If, on the other
hand, he was loth to accept them—and in fact the prospect did not
please him—he expected that you would send troops to Thermopylae to stop his passage, as
indeed you would have done if you had not been outwitted. In that event, he
calculated that he would be unable to get throu
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 319 (search)
He did not need any information from others to reach that
conclusion. He was himself a sufficient witness, for, after his first defeat of
the Phocians and the overthrow of their leader and commander Onomarchus,
although no one in the whole world, Greek or barbarian, sent aid to them save
you alone, so far from getting through Thermopylae, or accomplishing any of the purposes of the
passage, he had been unable even to approach the pass.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 320 (search)
I take it he was perfectly well aware that now, with Thessaly at variance with him—the
Pheraeans, for example, refusing to join his following—with the
Thebans getting the worst of the war, defeated in an engagement, and a trophy
erected at their expense, he would be unable to force the passage if you sent
troops to Thermopylae, and that
he could not even make the attempt without serious loss unless he should also
resort to some trickery. “How, then,” he thought,
“shall I escape open falsehood, and attain all my objects without
incurring the charge of perjury? Only if I can find Athenians to hood-wink the
Athenian people, for then I shall have no share in the ensuing

Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 322 (search)
So on the strength of these expectations and
inducements he obtained his peace, with the Phocians excluded; but it was still
necessary to stop the reinforcement of Thermopylae, for which fifty war-galleys were lying at anchor
to enable you to check Philip's advance.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 334 (search)
These are my accusations. Do
not forget them. For a just and equitable peace I would be grateful; I would
have commended and advised you to decorate negotiators who had not first sold
themselves and then deceived you with falsehoods. Granted that you were wronged
by any commander,—he is not concerned in the present inquiry. Did any
commander bring Halus to destruction? or the Phocians? or Doriscus? or
Cersobleptes? or the Sacred Mount? or Thermopylae? Was it a commander who gave Philip an open road to
Attica through the territory of
friends and allies? Who has made Coronea and Orchomenus
and Euboea alien ground for us? Who
nearly did the same with Megara only
yesterday? Who has made the Thebans strong
