Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 11 (search)
For take the case of the Olynthians; when he was five
miles from their city, he told them there must be one of two things, either they
must cease to reside in Olynthus,
or he in Macedonia, though on all
previous occasions, when accused of hostile intentions, he indignantly sent
ambassadors to justify his conduct. Again, when he was marching against the
Phocians, he still pretended that they were his allies, and Phocian ambassadors
accompanied him on his march, and most people here at Athens contended that his passage through

Thermopylae against

though intercourse between the two
nations was more frequent then than now. For Macedonia was under our sway and tributary to us,The speaker is improving on the claim made by
Demosthenes in Dem. 3.24. Macedonia was never really subject or
tributary to Athens. and

then, as now, settled strictly every month, making a formal compact between such
distant parties unnecessary.
Demosthenes, On the Halonnesus, section 13 (search)
However, there
was no such compact, and it would not have paid to make one which would entail a
voyage from Macedonia to Athens or from Athens to Macedonia in order to obtain satisfaction. Instead, we sought
redress in Macedonia under their laws
and theMacedonia in order to obtain satisfaction. Instead, we sought
redress in Macedonia under their laws
and they at Athens under ours. So do
not forget that the real object of this proposed compact is to get your

and if he gave up Amphipolis and Potidaea, even Macedonia would be no safe place for him. He knows, then, these
two facts—that he is intriguing against you and that you are aware of
it. Assuming that you are intelligent, he concludes that you hate him. Besides
these weighty considerations, he knows for certain that even if he masters all
else, his power will be precarious as long as you remain a democracy, but if
ever he meets with some mischance (and there are many to which mankind
is liable), all the forces that are now under restraint will be
attracted to your
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 14 (search)
Yes, the power and sovereignty of Macedonia is indeed, as an adjunct, no slight
contribution, as you found it when on your side against Olynthus in the days of Timotheus.In 364 an Athenian force under Timotheus joined
Perdiccas, king of Macedonia, in an
attack on tMacedonia, in an
attack on the Olynthian confederacy. On another occasion, in dealing
with Potidaea, the Olynthians found its
cooperation of some value; and lately it came to the help of the Thessalians in
their factions and feuds against the ruling house. The accession, I suppose,
cooperation of some value; and lately it came to the help of the Thessalians in
their factions and feuds against the ruling house. The accession, I suppose,
even of a small force is in every way helpful; but by itself Macedonia is weak and full of defects.
Demosthenes, On the Chersonese, section 14 (search)
He is now
established in Thrace with a large
force, and is sending for considerable reinforcements from Macedonia and Thessaly, according to the statements of those on the spot.
Now, if he waits for the Etesian winds to blow and marches to the siege of
Byzantium, do you think that
the Byzantines will remain in their present state of infatuation and will not
call upon you and demand your help?
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 15 (search)
For indeed Philip by all that might be
deemed to constitute his greatness, by his wars and his campaigns, has only
reduced his country below its natural level of insecurity. You must not imagine,
men of Athens, that his subjects
share his tastes. No: glory is his sole object and ambition; in action and in
danger he has elected to suffer whatever may befall him putting before a life of
safety the distinction of achieving what no other king of Macedonia ever achieved.
Demosthenes, On the Halonnesus, section 15 (search)
and furthermore that he should have a free
hand to cruise about and anchor off the different islands and, under pretence of
protecting them from pirates, bribe the islanders to revolt from you. Not
content with getting your commanders to carry refugees from Macedonia to Thasos, he claims the right to appropriate the other islands
also, and sends agents to accompany your commanders, as if to share with you the
task of policing the seas.
Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 17 (search)
All this is a necessary provision against Philip's
sudden raids from Macedonia against
Thermopylae, the Chersonese, Olynthus, or where he will. You must present to his mind the
consideration that you may possibly shake off your excessive apathy and strike
out as you did at Euboea, and before
that, as we are told, at Haliartus, and quite recently at Thermopylae.The Athenians sent a force to Euboea in 357 (cf. Dem.
1.8). They helped the Thebans to defeat Lysander at
Haliartus in Boeotia in 395. In
352, when Philip tried to march from Thessaly against Phocis, he was checked by the dispatch of an Athenian fleet
to Thermopylae.
