Macedonia (Macedonia) (search for this): speech 8, section 14
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?

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 9, section 14
Impossible! For indeed he would be the
most fatuous man on earth if, when you, his victims, charge him with no crime,
but throw the blame on some of your own fellow-citizens, he should compose your
mutual differences and jealousies, and invite you to turn them against himself,
and should deprive his own hirelings of the excuses with which they put you off,
saying that at any rate it is not Philip who is making war on Athens.
Attica (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 15
Seriously, is
anyone here so foolish as not to see that our negligence will transfer the war
from Chalcidice to Attica? Yet if that comes to pass, I am
afraid, men of Athens, that just as
men who borrow money recklessly at high interest enjoy a temporary accommodation
only to forfeit their estates in the end, so we may find that we have paid a
heavy price for our indolence, ando borrow money recklessly at high interest enjoy a temporary accommodation
only to forfeit their estates in the end, so we may find that we have paid a
heavy price for our indolence, and because we consult our own pleasure in
everything, may hereafter come to be forced to do many of the dfficult things
for which we had no liking, and may finally endanger our possessions here in
Attica itself.

Macedonia (Macedonia) (search for this): speech 2, section 15
For indeed Philip by all that might be
deemed to constitute his greatness, by his wars and his campaigns, has only
reduced his country below its natural level of insecurity. You must not imagine,
men of Athens, that his subjects
share his tastes. No: glory is his sole object and ambition; in action and in
danger he has elected to suffer whatever may befall him putting before a life of
safety the distinction of achieving what no other king of Macedonia ever achieved.

Thebes (Greece) (search for this): speech 6, section 15
That is just what he is
“waiting” to do, and will go on
“waiting,” in my opinion. But he is not
“waiting” to help the Messenians and Argives against the
Lacedaemonians: he is actually dispatching mercenaries and forwarding supplies,
and he is expected in person with a large force. What! The Lacedaemonians, the
surviving enemies of Thebes, he is
engaged in destroying; the Phocians, whom he has himself already destroyed, he
is now engaged in preserving! And who is prepared to be
Macedonia (Macedonia) (search for this): speech 7, section 15
and furthermore that he should have a free
hand to cruise about and anchor off the different islands and, under pretence of
protecting them from pirates, bribe the islanders to revolt from you. Not
content with getting your commanders to carry refugees from Macedonia to Thasos, he claims the right to appropriate the other islands
also, and sends agents to accompany your commanders, as if to share with you the
task of policing the seas.
