Aeschines, On the Embassy, section 175 (search)
But again we were persuaded to go to war, now because of the Megarians.The beginning of the Peloponnesian war, 431 b.c. Having given up our land to be ravaged, and suffering great privations, we longed for peace, and finally concluded it through Nicias, the son of Niceratus.The “Peace of Nicias” was negotiated in 421, but its terms were only partially fulfilled from the beginning, and very soon the war was in full operation again. Andocides places in this period, which he falsely assumes to be one of peace, events that belong to the Periclean period. In the period that followed we again deposited treasure in the Acropolis, seven thousand talents, thanks to this peace, and we acquired triremes, seaworthy and fully equipped, no fewer than three hundred in number; a yearly tribute of more than twelve hundred talents came in to us; we held the Chersonese, Naxos, and Euboea, and in these years we sent out a host of colon

Aeschines, Against Ctesiphon, section 243 (search)
Or is the man whom you have moved to crown so obscure a man as not to be known by those whom he has served, unless some one shall help you to describe him? Pray ask the jury whether they knew Chabrias and Iphicrates and Timotheus, and inquire why they gave them those rewards and set up their statues. All will answer with one voice, that they honored Chabrias for the battle of Naxos, and Iphicrates because he destroyed a regiment of the Lacedaemonians, and Timotheus because of his voyage to Corcyra, and other men, each because of many a glorious deed in war.
Chorus
The sea-washed islands, also, off the projecting armof the sea, lying close to this land of ours, such as Lesbos, and olive-planted Samos, Chios and Paros, Naxos, Mykonos,and Andros which lies adjacent to Tenos.

She asked if she was prepared to follow her instructions, and, I imagine, received a ready assent. Later, Philoneos happened to have a sacrifice to perform to Zeus CtesiusZeus as a god of the household. Hence the sacrifice takes place at Philoneus' private residence. in Peiraeus, while my father was on the point of leaving for Naxos. So Philoneos thought that it would be an excellent idea to make one journey of it by seeing my father as far as Peiraeus, offering the sacrifice, and entertaining his friend.

Demosthenes, On Organization, section 22 (search)
For truly, men of Athens, they never robbed themselves of any of their
achievements, nor would anyone dream of speaking of Themistocles' fight at
Salamis, but of the Athenians'
fight, nor of Miltiades' battle at Marathon, but of the Athenians' battle. But
now we often hear it said that Timotheus took Corcyra, that Iphicrates cut up the Spartan detachment, or that
Chabrias won the sea-fight off Naxos.In 376, 390,and 376
respectively. For you seem to waive your own right to these successes
by the extravagant honors which you have bestowed on each of these officers.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 197 (search)
In respect of the business of which I am
speaking— and at present I discuss nothing else—I am a
better citizen than you, in so far as I devoted myself to a course of action
that was unanimously approved, neither shirking nor even counting any personal
danger. You made no more acceptable suggestion, otherwise mine would not have
been adopted; and in carrying out mine you were not of the slightest use. You
are proved after the event to have behaved throughout like a worthless and most
unpatriotic citizen; and now, by a strange coincidence, those thorough-going
enemies of Athens, Aristratus at
Naxos and Aristolaus at Thasos, are bringing the friends of Athens to trial, while at Athens itself Aeschines is accusing
