Demosthenes, Olynthiac 1, section 25 (search)
One point more, men of Athens. Do
not forget that you can today choose whether you must fight there or Philip must
fight here. If Olynthus holds out,
you will fight there, to the detriment of his territory, while you enjoy in
security the land that is your home. But if Philip takes Olynthus, who is to
prevent his marching hither? The Thebans?
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 11 (search)
I urge you strongly to send help to Olynthus, and the best and quickest
method that anyone can suggest will please me most. To the Thessalians you must
send an embassy to inform some of them of our intentions and to stir up the
others; for they have already decided to demand the restoration of Pagasae and to protest against the occupation
of Magnesia.
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 14 (search)
Yes, the power and sovereignty of Macedonia is indeed, as an adjunct, no slight
contribution, as you found it when on your side against Olynthus in the days of Timotheus.In 364 an Athenian force under Timotheus joined
Perdiccas, king of Macedonia, in an
attack on the Olynthian confederacy. On another occasion, in dealing
with Potidaea, the Olynthians found its
cooperation of some value; and lately it came to the help of the Thessalians in
their factions and feuds against the ruling house. The accession, I suppose,
even of a small force is in every way helpful; but by itself Macedonia is weak and full of defects.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 17 (search)
All this is a necessary provision against Philip's
sudden raids from Macedonia against
Thermopylae, the Chersonese, Olynthus, or where he will. You must present to his mind the
consideration that you may possibly shake off your excessive apathy and strike
out as you did at Euboea, and before
that, as we are told, at Haliartus, and quite recently at Thermopylae.The Athenians sent a force to Euboea in 357 (cf. Dem.
1.8). They helped the Thebans to defeat Lysander at
Haliartus in Boeotia in 395. In
352, when Philip tried to march from Thessaly against Phocis, he was checked by the dispatch of an Athenian fleet
to Thermopylae.
Demosthenes, On the Halonnesus, section 28 (search)
Apparently those who
inhabited Amphipolis, before
Philip took it, were holding Athenian territory; but when he has taken it, it is
no longer our territory, but his own, that he holds; and in the same way at
Olynthus and Apollonia and Pallene he is in possession of his own
property, not that of others.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 65 (search)
It would not have been safe in
Olynthus to plead Philip's
cause, unless the Olynthian democracy had shared in the enjoyment of the
revenues of Potidaea. It would not have
been safe in Thessaly to plead Philip's
cause, if the commoners of Thessaly had
not shared in the advantages that Philip conferred when he expelled their
tyrants and restored to them their Amphictyonic privileges. It would not have
been safe at Thebes, until he gave
them back Boeotia and wiped out the
Phocians.
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 11 (search)
For take the case of the Olynthians; when he was five
miles from their city, he told them there must be one of two things, either they
must cease to reside in Olynthus,
or he in Macedonia, though on all
previous occasions, when accused of hostile intentions, he indignantly sent
ambassadors to justify his conduct. Again, when he was marching against the
Phocians, he still pretended that they were his allies, and Phocian ambassadors
accompanied him on his march, and most people here at Athens contended that his passage through
ThermopylaeIn July 346, when the Phocians were holding
Thermopylae against
Philip, the Athenians refused to help them, being misled by Aeschines and
Philocrates, who represented that Philip's real hostility was directed
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 26 (search)
[And this is easily proved by a short
calculation.] I pass over Olynthus and Methone and Apollonia and the two and thirty cities in or near Thrace, all of which Philip has destroyed so
ruthlessly that a traveler would find it hard to say whether they had ever been
inhabited. I say nothing of the destruction of the important nation of the
Phocians. But how stands the case of the Thessalians? Has he not robbed them of
their free constitutions and of their very cities, setting up tetrarchies in
order to enslave them, not city by city, but tribe by tribe?
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 56 (search)
At Olynthus there were two parties in the state: Philip's men,
entirely subservient to him, and the patriots, striving to preserve the freedom
of their countrymen. Which, pray, ruined their country? Which betrayed the
cavalry, whose betrayal sealed the doom of Olynthus? The partisans of Philip; the men who, when the city
was still standing, tried to defame and slander the patriotic statesmen, until
their countrymen. Which, pray, ruined their country? Which betrayed the

was still standing, tried to defame and slander the patriotic statesmen, until
the Olynthian democracy was actually induced to expel Apollonides.The democratic leader, afterwards honored with
the citizenship of Athens.
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 57 (search)
Now it was not
at Olynthus only that this habit
produced every kind of evil result; but at Eretria, when the democrats, ridding themselves of Plutarchus
and his mercenaries, held the city together with Porthmus, some of them were for
handing the government over to you, others to Philip. The latter on most points,
or rather on all, gained the ear of the sorely tried and ill-starred Eretrians,
and at last persuaded them to expel their real champions.
