Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 5 (search)
though at present many of
us,—inexpert speakers, perhaps, and yet better men than the
experts—so dread this ordeal that they never think even of examining
any public question. You may be sure that I for one, as Heaven is my witness,
would never have dared to lay this indictment, if I had not thought it entirely
dishonorable that at this time, when I see people engaged in a project to the
disadvantage of our commonwealth, I should hold my peace, and close my
lips,—I who, on a former occasion, when I sailed for the Hellespont in command of a war-galley, spoke
out and denounced certain men who, in my judgement, were doing you wrong.

Now there
were two men in Lampsacus, one named
Thersagoras and the other Execestus, who had formed views about tyranny very
much like those that prevail here. These men put Philiscus to death, as he
deserved, because they felt it their duty to liberate their own fatherland. Now
suppose that one of those orators who spoke on behalf of Philiscus, at a time
when he was paymaster of the mercenaries at Perinthus, when he held all the
Hellespont, and was the most
powerful of viceroys, had then, like Aristocrates today, moved a resolution that
whosoever killed Philiscus should be liable to seizure in allied territory. I
entreat you to reflect upon the depth of ignominy to which our city would have
fallen.

Since that time, so long as you had forces
in the Hellespont, he has continually
flattered you and cozened you; but as soon as he found the Hellespont denuded of your forces, he tried to
break and to dethrone the two kings, and to bring the whole kingdom under his
own thumb, knowing by experience that, until he had ejected them, he could not
possibly revoke any part of his agreement with you. Since that time, so long as you had forces
