Lysias, On the Olive Stump, section 6 (search)
For you are all aware that, among the numerous troubles that have been caused by the war, the outlying districts were ravaged by the Lacedaemonians,During the Peloponnesian War Pericles kept the people inside Athens, and allowed the Lacedaemonians to devastate Attica, as he knew that the strength of Athens was on the sea, not on the land. “Our friends” may refer to Boeotian and Thessalian troops which aided the Athenians in occasional attacks on the invaders. Cf. Thuc. 2.14,19,22, etc. while the nearer were plundered by our friends; so how can it be just that I should be punished now for the disasters that then befell the ci

Nay, indeed, did they despoil the enemy of as many arms as they stripped from you? Did they capture fortifications to compare with those of their own country which they razed to the ground? They are the men who pulled down the forts around Attica, and made it evident to you that even in dismantling the Peiraeus they were not obeying the injunctions of the Lacedaemonians, but were thinking to make their own authority the more secure.
Lysias, Against Agoratus, section 55 (search)
I am told that he attributes these depositions in part to Menestratus. But the affair of Menestratus was like this: Menestratus was informed against by Agoratus, and was arrested and put in prison. Hagnodorus of Amphitrope,A township or district in the south of Attica, containing some of the silver mines. a fellow townsman of Menestratus, was a kinsman of Critias, one of the Thirty. Well, when the Assembly was being held in the theater at Munichia, this man, with the double aim of saving the life of Menestratus and of causing, by means of depositions, the destruction of as many people as possible, brought him before the people, when they contrived to give him impunity under the following decree.Decree
Lysias, Against Agoratus, section 73 (search)
But yet, this man had so much contempt for you that although he was not an Athenian he took his seat in the law-court, and in the Assembly, and made impeachments of every conceivable kind, giving in his name with the addition—“of Anagyra.A district on the west coast of Attica.” And besides, I have further good evidence against his having killed Phrynichus,—an act for which he claims to have been made an Athenian: this Phrynichus established the Four Hundred; after his death, most of the Four Hundre

who induced the Lacedaemoniains to fortify Decelea,In Attica, 413 B.C. who sailed to rouse the islands to revolt, who became a promoter of mischief to our city, and who marched more often in the ranks of the enemy against his native land than those of his fellow-citizens against them! For those actions it is your duty, as it is also of those who are to come after you, to take vengeance on anyone of this family who falls into your hands.
Lysias, For Mantitheus, section 15 (search)
Then after that, gentlemen, there was the expedition to Corinth394 B.C.; and everyone knew beforehand that it must be a dangerous affair. Some were trying to shirk their duty, but I contrived to have myself posted in the front rank for our battle with the enemy. Our tribe had the worst fortune, and suffered the heaviest losses in the ranks: I retired from the field later than the fine fellow of SteiriaProbably Thrasybulus: Steiria was a township on the east coast of Attica. who has been reproaching everybody with cowardice.

, I claimed the whole as mine, because Erasistratus lost his case when he pleaded against my father's suit for the whole debt; and for the last three years I have let out the property at Sphettus,A township of the tribe Acamantis in the south of Attica. but over the property at CicynnaA township of the tribe Acamantis in the south of Attica. and the house there I was at law with the occupiers.

Lysias, On the Confiscation of the Property of the Brother of Nicias, section 9 (search)
Furthermore, gentlemen, Diognetus was so slandered by base informers that he went away into exile, and was one of the few of the banished who neither took the field against the city nor came to DeceleaWhere the Spartans kept a stranglehold on Attica, and welcomed exiled oligarchs from Athens.; nor has he been the author of any sort of injury to your people either in exile or after his return, but he carried principle to such a point that he was rather incensed with those who had offended against you than grateful to those who had been the authors of his recall.

Besides doing this, when I could have obtained a great fortune he advised me to take a lesser one, so long as I felt sure of allying myself with people of an orderly and self-respecting character. So now I am married to the daughter of Critodemus of Alopece,A township of Attica. who was killed by the Lacedaemonians after the sea-fight at the Hellespont.At Aegospotami, 405 B.C.
