Demosthenes, For the Megalopolitans, section 4 (search)
Now no one would deny that our city is benefited by the weakness of the
Lacedaemonians and of the Thebans yonder.A
gesture reminds his hearers how near neighbors the Thebans were. The
position of affairs, then, if one may judge from statements repeatedly made in
your Assembly, is such that the Thebans will be weakened by the refounding of
Orchomenus, Thespiae and Plataea, but the Lacedaemonians will regain their power, if
they get Arcadia into their hands and
destroy Megalopolis.
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 10 (search)
Aeschines, then, was the first man in Athens, as he claimed at the time in a
speech, to perceive that Philip had designs against Greece, and was corrupting some of the magnates of Arcadia. It was he who, with Ischander, son of
Neoptolemus, as his understudy, addressed the Council, and addressed the
Assembly, on this subject, and persuaded them to send ambassadors to all the
Greek states to convene a conference at Athens for the consideration of war with Philip.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 11 (search)
It was he who afterwards, on his return from
Arcadia, gave a report of the fine
long orations which he said he had delivered as your spokesman before the Ten
Thousand at Megalopolis in
reply to Philip's champion Hieronymus, and he made a long story of the enormous
harm which corrupt statesmen in the pay of Philip were doing not only to their
own countries but to the whole of Greece.
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 261 (search)
It has not stopped there. It
has entered Arcadia, and turned
Arcadian politics upside down; and now many of that nation, who ought to pride
themselves as highly as you upon their independence—for you and they
are the only indigenous peoples in Greece—admire Philip, set up his
effigy in bronze, decorate it with garlands, and, to crown all, have enacted a
decree that, if he ever visits Peloponnesus, he shall be made welcome within their walls. The
Argives have followed their examp
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 288 (search)
And now, to
illustrate the discredit into which our city has been dragged by this man's
trickery and mendacity, omitting much that I might mention, I will point to a
symptom that you have all observed. In former times, men of Athens, all Greece used to watch anxiously for your decisions. Today we
prowl the streets wondering what the other communities have resolved, all agog
to hear what is the news from Arcadia,
what is the news from the Amphictyons, what will be Philip's next movement,
whether he is alive or dead.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 306 (search)
and when he was told that they were Olynthian
captives whom Atrestidas was bringing away with him as a present from Philip, he
thought it a terrible business, and burst into tears. Greece, he sorrowfully reflected, is in evil
plight indeed, if she permits such cruelties to pass unchecked. He counselled
you to send envoys to Arcadia to
denounce the persons who were intriguing for Philip; for, he said, he had been
informed that, if only Athens would
give attention to the matter and send ambassadors, the intriguers would promptly
be brought to justice.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 310 (search)
No; our discredited
ambassador will keep all his tears for himself. Very likely he will bring his
children into court and put them in a conspicuous position. But do you,
gentlemen of the jury, as you look at those children of his, reflect how many
children of your own friends and allies are wanderers, roaming the world in
beggary, suffering hardships which they owe to this man; and that they deserve
your compassion infinitely more than the offspring of a malefactor and a
traitor, while, by adding to the treaty of peace the words and to their
posterity, he and his friends robbed your own children even of hope. When you
witness his tears, remember that you hold in your power a man who bade you send
accusers to Arcadia to testify against
the agents of Philip.
