[302]
You have good reason, men of Athens, to be indignant with every man who by such conduct has
thrown overboard your allies, your friends, and those opportunities on which,
for any nation, success or failure depends, but with no man more fiercely or
more righteously than with Aeschines. For a man who once ranged himself with
those who distrusted Philip, and made unassisted the first discovery of Philip's
hostility to all Greece, and then
became a deserter and a traitor and suddenly appeared as Philip's
champion—does he not deserve a hundred deaths?
