When the Lacedaemonians, men of Athens, had the supremacy of land and sea, and were holding
with governors and garrisons all the frontiers of Attica, Euboea,
Tanagra, all Boeotia, Megara, Aegina,
Ceos, and the other islands, for at
that time Athens had no ships and no
walls, you marched out to Haliartus,Haliartus,
395 B.C.; Corinth, 394 B.C.; Decelean war,
the last period, 4l3-404, of the Peloponnesian war, when the Spartans held
the fortified position of Decelea in Attica. and again a few days later to Corinth. The Athenians of those days had
good reason to bear malice against the Corinthians and the Thebans for their
conduct during the Decelean War; but they bore no malice whatever.

that, instead of the seat of war being in Attica, it was seven hundred furlongs away on
the far side of Boeotia; that, instead
of privateers from Euboea harrying us,
Attica was at peace on the
sea-frontier throughout the war; and that, instead of Philip taking Byzantium and holding the Hellespont, the Byzantines fought on our side
against him.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 301 (search)
What course of action
was proper for a patriotic citizen who was trying to serve his country with all
possible prudence and energy and loyalty? Surely it was to protect Attica on the sea-board by Euboea, on the inland frontier by Boeotia, and on the side towards Peloponnesus by our neighbors in that
direction; to make provision for the passage of our corn-supply along friendly
coasts all the way to Peiraeus;
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 20 (search)
For he declared that he had
completely converted Philip to the interests of Athens in respect of the Amphictyonic question and of
everything else. He went through a long diatribe against the Thebans, which he
said he had addressed to Philip himself, recapitulating the main points. He
offered you a calculation that, thanks to his diplomacy, without leaving your
homes, without any campaigning or worry, within two or three days you would hear
the news of the beleaguerment of Thebes, independently of the rest of Boeotia,
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 74 (search)
For he did not allege in his report that, but for the
Lacedaemonians, but for their refusal to receive Proxenus, but for Hegesippus,
but for this or that, the Phocians would have been delivered. He passed over all
that, and declared explicitly that before his return he had persuaded Philip to
deliver the Phocians, to repopulate Boeotia, and to put the whole business into your hands; that it
would all be accomplished within two or three days, and that in revenge the
Thebans had set a price upon his head.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 126 (search)
then at last, at that crisis, when the city was
encompassed with confusion and terror, off marched this wise, clever,
smooth-tongued gentleman, without waiting for Council or Assembly to reappoint
him, on his embassy to the court of the chief malefactor. He forgot that he had
sworn that he was too ill to travel; forgot that another ambassador had been
chosen in his stead, and that the law visits such conduct with death; forgot
that, with the Thebans not only holding all Boeotia but in possession of the territory of Phocis,
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
