Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 17 (search)
All this is a necessary provision against Philip's
sudden raids from Macedonia against
Thermopylae, the Chersonese, Olynthus, or where he will. You must present to his mind the
consideration that you may possibly shake off your excessive apathy and strike
out as you did at Euboea, and before
that, as we are told, at Haliartus, and quite recently at Thermopylae.The Athenians sent a force to Euboea in 357 (cf. Dem.
1.8). They helped the Thebans to defeat Lysander at
Haliartus in Boeotia in 395. In
352, when Philip tried to march from Thessaly against Phocis, he was checked by the dispatch of an Athenian fleet
to Thermopylae.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 3 (search)
In the next
place, bear this in mind. Some of you have been told, others know and remember,
how formidable the Spartans were, not many years ago, and yet how at the call of
honor and duty you played a part not unworthy of your country, and entered the
lists against them in defence of your rights.The reference is probably to the invasion of Boeotia by Agesilaus in 378. I remind you of this,
Athenians, because I want you to know and realize that, as no danger can assail
you while you are on your guard, so if you are remiss no success can attend you.
Learn a lesson from the former strength of the Lacedaemonians, which you
mastered by strict attention to your affairs, and the present arrogance of our
enemy, which discomposes us because we ignore every call of duty.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 63 (search)
the Thebans he is now misleading, having
handed over Boeotia to them and
relieved them of a long and trying war. So each of these states has reaped some
benefit from him; some of them have already paid the penalty, as all men know;
the rest will pay it whenever the day of reckoning comes. As for you, I say
nothing of your losses [in war],Some such words seem necessary to avoid a contradiction. The
Greek is probably corrupt, though the same reading is found in Dem. 10.65. but in the very act of
accepting the peace, how completely you were deceived, how grievously you were
robbed!
Demosthenes, Philippic 4, section 64 (search)
What do you
imagine is his motive in outraging you now—I think no other term
describes his conduct—or why is it that, in deceiving the others, he
at least confers benefits upon them, but in your case he is resorting to
threats? For example, the Thessalians were beguiled by his generosity into their
present state of servitude; no words can describe how he formerly deceived the
miserable Olynthians by his gift of Potidaea and many other places; the Thebans he is now
misleading, having handed over Boeotia
to them and relieved them of a long and trying w
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 65 (search)
It would not have been safe in
Olynthus to plead Philip's
cause, unless the Olynthian democracy had shared in the enjoyment of the
revenues of Potidaea. It would not have
been safe in Thessaly to plead Philip's
cause, if the commoners of Thessaly had
not shared in the advantages that Philip conferred when he expelled their
tyrants and restored to them their Amphictyonic privileges. It would not have
been safe at Thebes, until he gave
them back Boeotia and wiped out the
Phocians.
