Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 10 (search)
Aeschines, then, was the first man in Athens, as he claimed at the time in a
speech, to perceive that Philip had designs against Greece, and was corrupting some of the magnates of Arcadia. It was he who, with Ischander, son of
Neoptolemus, as his understudy, addressed the Council, and addressed the
Assembly, on this subject, and persuaded them to send ambassadors to all the
Greek states to convene a conference at Athens for the consideration of war with Philip.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 100 (search)
Your deliverance of the island was a
generous act, but still more generously, when you had their lives and their
cities at your mercy, you restored them honestly to men who had sinned against
you, forgetting your wrongs where you found yourselves trusted. I pass over ten
thousand instances I could cite,—battles by sea, expeditions by land,
campaigns of ancient date and of our own times, in all of which Athens engaged herself for the freedom and
salvation of Greece
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 109 (search)
You will find that I maintained the same character both in domestic and in
Hellenic policy. At home I never preferred the gratitude of the rich to the
claims of the poor; in foreign affairs I never coveted the gifts and the
friendship of Philip rather than the common interests of all Greece.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 11 (search)
It was he who afterwards, on his return from
Arcadia, gave a report of the fine
long orations which he said he had delivered as your spokesman before the Ten
Thousand at Megalopolis in
reply to Philip's champion Hieronymus, and he made a long story of the enormous
harm which corrupt statesmen in the pay of Philip were doing not only to their
own countries but to the whole of Greece.
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
direction, would not let me speak, and the rest were merely astonished and
imagined that I was laying an idle charge in private spi
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 156 (search)
Now hand me
the letter which Philip dispatched to his Peloponnesian allies, when the Thebans
disobeyed him. Even that letter will give you a clear proof that he was
concealing the true reasons of his enterprise, namely his designs against
Greece, and especially against
Thebes and Athens, and was only pretending zeal for
the national interests as defined by the Amphictyonic Council. But the man who
provided him with that basis of action and those pretexts was Aeschines. Read.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 158 (search)
You see how he
avoids personal excuses, and takes shelter in Amphictyonic reasons. Who gave him
his equipment of deceit? Who supplied him with these pretexts ? Who above all
others is to blame for all the ensuing mischief? Who but Aeschines? Then do not
go about saying, men of Athens, that
these disasters were brought upon Greece by Philip alone. I solemnly aver that it was not one
man, but a gang of traitors in every state.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 184 (search)
therefore be it
resolved by the Council and People of Athens, after offering prayers and sacrifices to the gods
and heroes who guard the city and country of the Athenians, and after taking
into consideration their ancestors' merits, in that they ranked the
preservation of the liberties of Greece above the claims of their own state, that two
hundred ships be launched, and that the Admiral sail into the Straits of
Thermopylae, and that
the General and commander of the cavalry march out with the infantry and
cavalry to Eleusis; also that
ambassadors be sent to the other Greeks, but first of all to the Thebans,
because Philip is nearest to their territory,
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 198 (search)
And yet he who built his
reputation on the accumulated misfortunes of Greece deserves rather to perish himself than to prosecute his
neighbor; and the man who has found his profit in the same emergencies as his
country's foes can make no claim to patriotism. You stand revealed in your life
and conduct, in your public performances and also in your public abstinences. A
project approved by the people is going forward. Aeschines is speechless. A
regrettable incident is reported. Aeschines is in evidence. He reminds one of an
old sprain or fracture: the moment you are out of health it begins to be active.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 200 (search)
All that can be
said now is, that we have failed and that is the common lot of humanity, if God
so wills. But then, if Athens, after
claiming the primacy of the nations, had run away from her claims, she would
have been held guilty of betraying Greece to Philip. If, without striking a blow, she had
abandoned the cause for which our forefathers flinched from no peril, is there a
man who would not have spat in your face? In your face, Aeschines: not at
Athens, not at me!
