Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 71 (search)
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 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,

good reason to bear malice against the Corinthians and the Thebans for their
conduct during the Decelean War; but they bore no malice whatever.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 139 (search)
Though it was a scandalous shame enough, God knows,
openly to take Philip's side against his own country even before the war, make
him a present, if you choose, make him a present of that. But when our
merchantmen had been openly plundered, when the Chersonese was being ravaged, when the man was advancing upon
Attica, when there could no longer
be any doubt about the position, but war had already begun—even after
that this malignant mumbler of blank verse can point to no patriotic act. No
profitable proposition, great or small, stands to the credit of Aeschines. If he
claims any, let him cite it now, while my hour-glasshour-glass, the clepsydra or water-clock, used to measure the
time allowed by the court to each speaker. runs. But there is none.
Now one of two things: either he ma

In your presence, men of Athens, I now invoke all the gods and
goddesses whose domain is the land of Attica. I invoke also Pythian Apollo, the ancestral divinity of
this city, and I solemnly beseech them all that, if I shall speak the truth now,
and if I spoke truth to my countrymen when first I saw this miscreant putting
his hand to that transaction—for I knew it, I knew it
instantly—they may grant to me prosperity and salvation. But if with
malice or in the spirit of personal rivalry I lay against him any false charge,
I pray that they may dispossess me of everything that is go

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

At that time he had no supremacy at sea, nor could he reach
Attica by land unless the
Thessalians followed his banner and the Thebans gave him free passage. In spite
of his successes against the commanders you sent out, such as they
were—I have nothing to say of their failure—he found himself
in trouble by reason of conditions of locality and of the comparative resources
of the two combatan

Decree[In the archonship of Heropythus, on the twenty-fifth day of the
month Elaphebolion, the tribe Erechtheis then holding the presidency, on the
advice of the Council and the Generals: whereas Philip has captured so me of
the cities of our neighbors and is besieging others, and finally is
preparing to advance against Attica, ignoring our agreement with him, and is meditating a
breach of his oaths and of the peace, violating all mutual pledges, be it
resolved by the Council and People to send ambassadors to confer with him
and to summon him to preserve in particular his agreement and compact with
us, and, failing that, to give the City time for decision and to conclude an
armistice until the month of Thargelion. The following members of Council

Decree[In the archonship
of Heropythus, on the thirtieth of the month Munychion, on the advice of the
Commander-in-chief: whereas Philip aims at setting the Thebans at variance
with us, and has prepared to march with all his forces to the parts nearest
to Attica, violating his existing
arrangements with us, be it resolved by the Council and People to send a
herald and ambassadors to request and exhort him to conclude an armistice,
in order that the People may decide according to circumstances; for even now
the People have not decided to send a force if they can obtain reasonable
terms. The following were chosen from the Council: Nearchus, son of
Sosinomus, Polycrates, son of Epiphron; and as herald from the People,

If,” I added, “at this crisis we
are determined to remember all the provocative dealings of the Thebans with us
in past time, and to distrust them still on the score of enmity, in the first
place, we shall be acting exactly as Philip would beg us to act; and secondly, I
am afraid that, if his present opponents give him a favorable reception, and
unanimously become Philip's men, both parties will join in an invasion of
Attica. If, however, you will
listen to my advice, and apply your minds to consideration, but not to captious
criticism, of what I lay before you, I believe that you will find my proposals
acceptable, and that I shall disperse the perils that overhang our city.
