Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 143 (search)
The war at
Amphissa, that is, the war
that brought Philip to Elatea, and caused the election, as general of the
Amphictyons, of a man who turned all Greece upside down, was due to the machinations of this man. In
his own single person he was the author of all our worst evils. I protested
instantly; I raised my voice in Assembly; I cried aloud, “You are
bringing war into Attica, Aeschines, an
Amphictyonic war;” but a compact body of men, sitting there under his

Letter[Philip,
king of Macedonia, to the public
officers and councillors of the allied Peloponnesians and to all his other

Apollo at Delphi and come in

god and in punishing those who transgress in any way the principles of
religion. Therefore meet under arms at Phocis with forty days' provisions in
the next month, styled Lous by us, Boedromion by the Athenians, and Panemus
by the Corinthians. Those who, being pledged to us, do not join us in full
force, we shall treat as punishable. Farewell.]

I say that, when
Aeschines had provoked the war in Amphissa, and when his associates had helped him to aggravate
our enmity towards Thebes, the
result was that Philip marched against us, in pursuance of the purpose for which
they had embroiled the states, and that, if we had not roused ourselves a little
just in time, we could never have retrieved our position; so far had these men
carried the quarrel. You will better understand the state of feeling between the
two cities, when you have heard the decrees and the answers sent thereto. Please
take and read these papers.
