Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 13 (search)
Then having settled Pherae, Pagasae, Magnesia, and the rest of that country to suit his purposes,
off he went to Thrace, and there, after
evicting some of the chiefs and installing others, he fell sick. On his
recovery, he did not relapse into inactivity, but instantly assailed Olynthus. His campaigns against Illyrians
and Paeonians and King Arybbas and any others that might be mentioned, I pass
over in silence.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 14 (search)
He is now
established in Thrace with a large
force, and is sending for considerable reinforcements from Macedonia and Thessaly, according to the statements of those on the spot.
Now, if he waits for the Etesian winds to blow and marches to the siege of
Byzantium, do you think that
the Byzantines will remain in their present state of infatuation and will not
call upon you and demand your help?
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 17 (search)
but for my part, so far from
admitting that in acting thus he is not observing the peace with you, I assert
that when he lays hands on Megara,
sets up tyrannies in Euboea, makes his
way, as now, into Thrace, hatches plots
in the Peloponnese, and carries out all
operations with his armed force, he is breaking the peace and making war upon
you—unless you are prepared to say that men who bring up the
siege-engines are keeping the peace until they actually bring them to bear on
the walls. But you will not admit that; for he who makes and devises the means
by which I may be captured is at war with me, even though he has not yet hurled
a javelin or shot a bolt

8.14. of the year is upon us—the season at which
certain people think it their duty to keep the Hellespont clear of you and hand it over to Philip? What if he
quits Thrace and never approaches the
Chersonese or
Byzantium—for you must take that also into your
reckoning—but turns up at Chalcis and Megara,
just as he did at Oreus not long ago? Will it be better to make our stand here
and let the war spread to Attica, or to
contrive some employment for him away yonder? I prefer the la
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 26 (search)
[And this is easily proved by a short
calculation.] I pass over Olynthus and Methone and Apollonia and the two and thirty cities in or near Thrace, all of which Philip has destroyed so
ruthlessly that a traveler would find it hard to say whether they had ever been
inhabited. I say nothing of the destruction of the important nation of the
Phocians. But how stands the case of the Thessalians? Has he not robbed them of
their free constitutions and of their very cities, setting up tetrarchies in
order to enslave them, not city by city, but tribe by tribe?
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 3, section 4 (search)
I must first refresh
your memory with a little history. You remember, men of Athens, when news came three or four years
ago that Philip was in Thrace besieging
the fortress of Heraeum. Well, it was the month of Maemacterion, and there was a
long and excited debate in the Assembly, and you finally decided to launch a
fleet of forty vessels manned by citizens under the age of forty-five, and to
raise forty talents by a special tax.
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 3, section 5 (search)
That year
passed and Hecatombaeon came and Metageitnion and Boëdromion. In that
month, with a great effort, after the celebration of the MysteriesThe Eleusinian Mysteries, celebrated between the
13th and 24th of Boëdromion, i.e. about the beginning of
October. you dispatched Charidemus with ten ships, unmanned, and a
sum of five talents of silver. When news came that Philip was ill or
dead—both reports reached us—you, Athenians, thinking that
help was no longer needed, abandoned the expedition. But that was just your
opportunity. If we had carried out our resolution in earnest and sailed to
Thrace then, Philip would not have
survived to trouble us t
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 50 (search)
But if, putting rumors aside, we recognize that this
man is our enemy, who has for years been robbing and insulting us, that wherever
we once hoped to find help we have found hindrance, that the future lies in our
own hands, and if we refuse to fight now in Thrace, we shall perhaps be forced to fight here at
home—if, I say, we recognize these facts, then we shall have done with
idle words and shall come to a right decision. Our business is not to speculate
on what the future may bring forth, but to be certain that it will bring
disaster, unless you face the facts and consent to do your duty
Demosthenes, Philippic 4, section 8 (search)
Look at
Serrium and Doriscus; for these were the places that were disregarded
immediately after the peace, and many of you perhaps do not even know of their
existence. Yet it was your neglect and abandonment of them that ruined
Thrace and Cersobleptes, who was
your ally. Again, Philip, seeing that these were overlooked and were receiving
no help from you, proceeded to raze Porthmus to the ground and founded a tyranny
in Euboea over against Attica as a menace to you.
