And Philip from his base in Macedonia was no longer contending with us for Amphipolis, but already for Lemnos, Imbros, and Scyros, our own possessions, while our citizens were abandoning the Chersonese, the undisputed property of Athens.

You hear that the decree was passed on the third of Munichion. How many days before I set out was it that Cersobleptes lost his kingdom? According to Chares the general it occurred the month before—that is, if Elaphebolion is the month next before Munichion! Was it, then, in my power to save Cersobleptes, who was lost before I set out from home? And now do you imagine that there is one word of truth in his account of what was done in Macedonia or of what was done in Thessaly, when he gives the lie to the senate-house and the public archives, and falsifies the date and the meetings of the assembl
and if Philip was willing to refer our differences to some state as an equal and impartial arbiter, he said that between Philip and us there was no impartial arbiter. Philip offered to give us Halonnesus; Demosthenes forbade us to accept it if he “gave it,” instead of “giving it back,” quarrelling over syllables.The anti-Macedonian party refused to accept the island unless Philip would admit that he had been holding it wrongfully, and so was “giving it back,” not giving it” （a)podi/dwsi—di/dwsin）. And finally, by bestowing crowns of honor on the embassy which Aristodemus led to Thessaly and Magnesia contrary to the provisions of the peace, he violated the peace and prepared the final d
I wish, further, to remind you of what I have done. I have been sent on missions to Thessaly, to Macedonia, to Molossia, to Thesprotia, to Italy, and to Sicily. In the course of them I have reconciled such as had quarrelled with you, others I have won over to friendship, others I have detached from your enemies. If every representative of yours had done the same, you would have few foes, and you would have gained many an ally.

Herakles killed Cycnus. This combat, which, according to Apollodorus, ended
indecisively, was supposed to have been fought in Macedonia, for the Echedorus was a Macedonian river （Hdt. 7.124, Hdt. 7.127）.
Accordingly we must distinguish this contest from another and more famous fight which
Herakles fought with another son of Ares, also called Cycnus, near Pagasae in Thessaly. See Apollod. 2.7.7, with the
note. Apparently Hyginus confused the two combats. And going on foot

advance of the Dorians, they dispersed and settled, some in Thessaly, some in Euboea, some
in Peloponnese, and some even in Cyprus. Down to the second century of our era the
descendants of the Dryopians maintained with these gory trophies to build a temple to his father Ares. This we learn
from the Scholiasts on Pind. O. 2.82. The scene of his exploits was

Apollodorus followed Pherecydes. According to Staphylus, in the third book of his work
on Thessaly, the wife of Peleus and mother of
Polydora was Eurydice, daughter of Actor （Scholiast on Hom. Il.

Apollodorus says that Peleus himself married Polydora, daughter of Periers, their mutability reflecting as
it were the instability of the fickle, inconstant element of which they were born. The
place where Peleus caught and mastered his sea-bride was believed to be the southeastern
headland of Thessaly, which hence bore the name
of Sepia or the Cuttlefish. The whole coast of the Cape was sacred to Thetis and the
other Nereids; and after their fleet had been wrecked on the headland, the Persians
