Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 112 (search)
For he had told you that Philip would fortify
Thespiae and Plataea, would not destroy the Phocians,
and would put a stop to the aggressions of the Thebans; but Philip has made the
Thebans dangerously strong, he has exterminated the Phocians, and, instead of
fortifying Thespiae and Plataea, he has enslaved Orchomenus and Coronea as well. Could contradiction go further? Yet Aeschines
offered no opposition; he never opened his lips or made a single objection. That
was bad—but not bad enough for him. He did what no other man in all
Athens did—he spoke in
support of the envoys. Even that miscreant Philocrates durst not go so far as
that—only this man Aeschines. When you raised a clamor, and refused to
hear
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 141 (search)
Now consider what the Thebans have gained in the end
by this policy, and, in the light of actual truth, see what a fine thing it is
to refuse to sell your country! The Thebans have gained, in the first place,
peace, when they were in trouble, hard pressed by the war, and in danger of
defeat; and secondly, the complete overthrow of their enemies, the Phocians, and
the utter destruction of their strongholds and cities. Is that all? No, indeed;
they have also gained Orchomenus,
Coronea, Corsia, Tilphosaeum, and
as much of the Phocian territory as they want.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 148 (search)
Here is another point for your
consideration, gentlemen of the jury. Who gained the greater advantage in the
operations, the Phocians over the Thebans, or Philip over you? I reply, the
Phocians over the Thebans. They held Orchomenus, and Coronea, and Tilphosaeum; they had kept within the walls the
Theban garrison at Neon; they had slain two hundred and seventy Thebans at
Hedyleum, and a trophy had been set up; they were superior in cavalry, and so an
Iliad of woes encompassed the Thebans.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 325 (search)
In this manner and by
the aid of this artifice our ruin was accomplished by men themselves doomed to
perdition. For at once, instead of witnessing the restoration of Thespiae and Plataea, you heard of the enslavement of Orchomenus and Coronea. Instead of the humiliation of Thebes and the abasement of her pride and
insolence, the walls of your own allies the Phocians were demolished, and
demolished by those very Thebans whom Aeschines in his speech had sent to live
in scattered villages.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 334 (search)
These are my accusations. Do
not forget them. For a just and equitable peace I would be grateful; I would
have commended and advised you to decorate negotiators who had not first sold
themselves and then deceived you with falsehoods. Granted that you were wronged
by any commander,—he is not concerned in the present inquiry. Did any
commander bring Halus to destruction? or the Phocians? or Doriscus? or
Cersobleptes? or the Sacred Mount? or Thermopylae? Was it a commander who gave Philip an open road to
Attica through the territory of
friends and allies? Who has made Coronea and Orchomenus
and Euboea alien ground for us? Who
nearly did the same with Megara only
yesterday? Who has made the Thebans strong
