[177]
Let me then tell you what to do. In the
first place, get rid of your present terror; or rather direct it elsewhere, and
be as frightened as you will for the Thebans. They lie nearer to peril; the
danger threatens them first. Next, let all men of military age, and all the
cavalry, march out to Eleusis, and
show the world that you are under arms. Then your partisans at Thebes will have equal freedom to speak
their minds for righteousness' sake, knowing that, just as the men who have sold
their country to Philip are supported by a force at Elatea ready to come to
their aid, so also you are in readiness to help men who are willing to fight for
independence, and will come to their aid, if they are attacked.
