Again, your general,
Callias,Of Chalcis in Euboea.
Originally an ally of Philip, he changed sides and helped Phocion's
expedition in 341, which cleared Oreus and Eretria of tyrants. The captured cities, as allies of
Philip, were included in the Peace of Philocrates
(346). captured the cities on the Pagasaean Gulf,
every one of them, though they were protected by treaty with you and were in
alliance with me all merchants sailing to Macedonia he regarded as enemies and sold them into slavery.
And for this you passed him a vote of thanks! So I am at a loss to say what
difference it will make if you admit that you are at war with me, for when we
were openly at variance, then too you used to send out privateers, enslave
merchants trading with us, help my

Then there
is another argument that astonishes me; that if we make an alliance with the
Arcadians and act upon it, our city will seem to be changing its policy and
breaking faith. For to me, men of Athens, the exact opposite seems to be the case. How so?
Because I do not think any one man would deny that Athens has saved the Lacedaemonians, and
the Thebans before them, and the Euboeans recently,The references are to the battle of Mantinea (362), the
alliance with Thebes against
Sparta in 378, and the
deliverance of Euboea from the
Thebans in 357. and has afterwards made alliance with them, having
always one and the same object in vi

Even now I
will not discuss them. But here was a man annexing Euboea and making it a basis of operations against Attica, attacking Megara, occupying Oreus, demolishing
Porthmus, establishing the tyranny of Philistides at Oreus and of Cleitarchus at
Eretria, subjugating the
Hellespont, besieging Byzantium, destroying some of the Greek
cities, reinstating exiled traitors in others: by these acts was he, or was he
not, committing injustice, breaking treaty, and violating the terms of peace?
Was it, or was it not, right that some man of Grecian race should stand forward
to stop those aggressions?

When Philip was driven out of Euboea by your arms, and
also,—though these men choke themselves with their
denials,—by my policy and my decrees, he cast about for a second plan
of attack against Athens; and
observing that we consume more imported corn than any other nation, he proposed
to get control of the carrying trade in corn. He advanced towards Thrace, and the first thing he did was to
claim the help of the Byzantines as his allies in the war against you. When they
refused, declaring with entire truth that the terms of alliance included no such
obligation, he set up a stockade against their city, planted artillery, and
began a sie

When the Lacedaemonians, men of Athens, had the supremacy of land and sea, and were holding
with governors and garrisons all the frontiers of Attica, Euboea,
Tanagra, all Boeotia, Megara, Aegina,
Ceos, and the other islands, for at
that time Athens had no ships and no
walls, you marched out to Haliartus,Haliartus,
395 B.C.; Corinth, 394 B.C.; Decelean war,
the last period, 4l3-404, of the Peloponnesian war, when the Spartans held
the fortified position of Decelea in Attica. and again a few days later to Corinth. The Athenians of those days had
good reason to bear malice against the Corinthians and the Thebans for their
conduct during the Decelean War; but they bore no malice whatever.

And so you taught to all
Greece the lesson that, however
gravely a nation may have offended against you, you keep your resentment for
proper occasions, but if ever their life or their liberty is endangered, you
will not indulge your rancor or take your wrongs into account. Not only towards the Lacedaemonians have you so demeaned
yourselves; but when the Thebans were trying to annex Euboea, you were not indifferent; you did not
call to mind the injuries you had suffered from Themiso and Theodorus in the
matter of Oropus; you carried aid even to them. That was in the early days of
the volunteer trierarchs, of whom I was one; but I say nothing of that now.

that, instead of the seat of war being in Attica, it was seven hundred furlongs away on
the far side of Boeotia; that, instead
of privateers from Euboea harrying us,
Attica was at peace on the
sea-frontier throughout the war; and that, instead of Philip taking Byzantium and holding the Hellespont, the Byzantines fought on our side
against him.

If I am accused today for what was actually done, suppose that, while I was
haggling over nice calculations, these cities had marched off and joined
Philip—suppose he had become suzerain o f Euboea, Thebes, and
Byzantium— what do
you think these unprincipled men would have done or said th
