Demosthenes, Reply to Philip, section 1 (search)
It must now be
clear to all of you, Athenians, that Philip never concluded a peace with you,
but only postponed the war; for ever since he handed HalusA town in the south of Thessaly on the Pagasaean Gulf; not to be confused with
Halonnesus. over to the Pharsalians, settled the Phocian question,
and subdued the whole of Thrace,
coining false excuses and inventing hollow pretexts, he has been all the time
practically at war with Athens,
though it is only now that he confesses it openly in the letter which he has
sent.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 48 (search)
Look at these instances,
because, though the right time for action is past, for wise men it is always the
right time to understand history. Lasthenes was hailed as friend—until
he betrayed Olynthus; Timolaus,
until he brought Thebes to ruin;
Eudicus and Simus of Larissa, until they put Thessaly under Philip's heel. Since then the whole world has
become crowded with men exiled, insulted, punished in every conceivable way.
What of Aristratus at Sicyon? or
PerilausPerilaus: so MSS. here, and, with
variations, in 295; according to Greek lexicographers the name was
Perillus. at Megara? Are
they not outcasts
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 151 (search)
With
Aeschines as their trusty guide, the Amphictyons began their tour of the
territory; but the Locrians fell upon them, were within an ace of spearing the
whole crowd, and did actually seize and carry off the sacred persons of several
commissioners. Complaints were promptly laid, and so war against the Amphissians
was provoked. At the outset Cottyphus was commander of an army composed of
Amphictyons; but some divisions never joined, and those who joined did nothing
at all. The persons engaged in the plot, mostly scoundrels of old standing from
Thessaly and other states, prepared
to put the war into Philip's hands at the next congress.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 244 (search)
You will find that
even our defeat, if this reprobate must needs exult over what he ought to have
deplored, did not fall upon the city through any fault of mine. Make your
reckoning in this way: wherever I was sent as your representative, I came away
undefeated by Philip's ambassador—from Thessaly, from Ambracia, from the Illyrians, from the kings of Thrace, from Byzantium, from every other place, and
finally from Thebes; but wherever
Philip was beaten in diplomacy, he attacked the place with an army and conquered
it
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 304 (search)
If in each of the cities of Greece there had been some one man such as I
was in my appointed station in your midst, nay, if Thessaly had possessed one man and Arcadia one man holding the same sentiments that I held, no
Hellenic people beyond or on this side of Thermopylae would have been exposed to their present
distresses:
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 198 (search)
Maddened by these indignities, she jumped to her
feet, upset the table, and fell at the knees of Iatrocles. If he had not rescued
her, she would have perished, the victim of a drunken orgy, for the drunkenness
of this blackguard is something terrible. The story of this girl was told even
in Arcadia, at a meeting of the Ten
ThousandThe Assembly of the Arcadian
Confederacy, meeting at Megalopolis.; it was related by Diophantus at
Athens in a report which I will
compel him to repeat in evidence; and it was common talk in Thessaly and everywhere.
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
d
