Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 18 (search)
what seasonThe
season of the Etesian winds; see Dem.
8.14. of the year is upon us—the season at which
certain people think it their duty to keep the Hellespont clear of you and hand it over to Philip? What if he
quits Thrace and never approaches the
Chersonese or
Byzantium—for you must take that also into your
reckoning—but turns up at Chalcis and Megara,
just as he did at Oreus not long ago? Will it be better to make our stand here
and let the war spread to Attica, or to
contrive some employment for him away yonder? I prefer the la
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 18 (search)
In what then
consists your danger, if anything should happen? In the alienation of the
Hellespont, in the control of
Megara and Euboea by one who is at war with you, and in
the defection of the Peloponnesians to his side. Am I still to say that the man
who brings this siege-engine to bear on your city is at peace with you?
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 27 (search)
Are not tyrannies already established in Euboea, an island, remember, not far from
Thebes and Athens? Does he not write explicitly in his
letters, “I am at peace with those who are willing to obey
me”? And he does not merely write this without putting it into
practice; but he is off to the Hellespont, just as before he hurried to Ambracia; in the Peloponnese he occupies the important city of
Elis; only the other day he
intrigued against the Megarians. Neither the Greek nor the barbarian world is
big enough for the fellow's ambiti
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 28 (search)
That, too, is the meaning of the dispatch
of a second general to the Hellespont.
For if Diopithes is acting outrageously in detaining the merchantmen, a note,
men of Athens, a brief note, could
put a stop to all this at once; and there are the laws, which direct us to
impeach such offenders, but not, of course, to mount guard over ourselves,i.e. to keep a jealous watch over our own
officers. at such a cost and with so large a fleet; for that would be
the height of madness.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 3 (search)
But when
our national enemy, with a strong force, is trying to forestall us in the
neighborhood of the Hellespont, and
when, if we are once too late, we shall never again be able to save the
situation, then I think it is to our interest to complete our plans and
preparations as quickly as we can, and not be diverted from our purpose by
clamorous accusations about extraneous matters.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 9 (search)
Yes, you may say, as to that
indeed the speakers are proved wrong, but the mercenaries are really acting
abominably in ravaging the shores of the Hellespont, and Diopithes is wrong in detaining the
merchantmen, and we must not sanction it. Very well; be it so. I have no
objection.
