For he made a speech in which he
repeatedly called Philip a barbarian and a man of blood. He told you that the
Arcadians were delighted to hear that Athens was really waking up and attending to business. He
related an incident which, he said, had filled him with deep indignation. On his
journey home he had met Atrestidas travelling from Philip's court with some

Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by C. A. Vince, M. A. and J. H. Vince, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
