Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 8 (search)
This man Eubulides, men of Athens, as many of you know, indicted the sister of
Lacedaemonius for impiety, but did not receive a fifth part of the votes.See note a on Dem. 27.67 It is because in that trial I gave testimony
that was true but unfavorable to him that he hates me and makes me the object of
his attacks. Being a member of the senate, men of the jury, with power to
administer the oath and being custodian of the documents on the basis of which
he convened the demesmen, what does he do?
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 18 (search)
They
have maliciously asserted that my father spoke with a foreign accent. But that
he was taken prisoner by the enemy in the course of the Decelean warThe latter period of the Peloponnesian war,
413-404 B.C., is often
called the Decelean war, because the Lacedaemonians, who had again invaded
Attica, occupied the town of
Decelea, not far from Athens,
and maintained a garrison there. and was sold into slavery and taken
to Leucas, and that he there fell in
with Cleander,The modern Leukas, or Santa Maura, off the west coast of Acarnania. the actor, and was
brought back here to his kinsfolk after a long lapse of time—all this
they have omitted to state; but just as though it were right that I should be
brought to ruin on accou
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 22 (search)
You have heard,
men of Athens, the relatives of my
father on the male side both deposing and swearing that my father was an
Athenian and their own kinsman. And surely not one of them would commit perjury
with imprecations on his own head in the presence of those who would know that
he was forswearing himself.Now take also the
depositions of those related to my father on the female side.
Depositions

Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 32 (search)
Now take also the law of Aristophon; for, men
of Athens, Solon was thought to have
enacted in this instance so wise and democratic a law that you voted to re-enact
it.
Law
It is fitting that you, then, acting in
defence of the laws, should hold, not that those who ply a trade are aliens, but
that those who bring malicious and baseless suits are scoundrels. For,
Eubulides, there is another law too regarding idleness to which you, who
denounce us who are traders, are amenable.
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 35 (search)
He has said this too about my
mother, that she served as a nurse. We, on our part, do not deny that this was
the case in the time of the city's misfortune, when all people were badly off;
but in what manner and for what reasons she became a nurse I will tell you
plainly. And let no one of you, men of Athens, be prejudiced against us because of this; for you will
find today many Athenian women who are serving as nurses; I will mention them by
name, if you wish. If we were rich we should not be selling ribbons nor be in
want in any way. But what has this to do with our descent? Nothing whatever, in
my opinion.
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 36 (search)
Pray, men of Athens, do not scorn the needy
（their poverty is misfortune enough）, and scorn still less
those who choose to engage in trade and get their living by honest means. No;
listen to my words, and if I prove to you that my mother's relatives are such as
free-born people ought to be; that they deny upon oath the calumnious charges
which this man makes regarding her, and testify that they know her to be of
civic birth—they on their part being witnesses whom you yourselves
will acknowledge to be worthy of credence—, then, as you are bound to
do, cast your votes in my
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 37 (search)
My grandfather, men of Athens, the father of my mother, was Damostratus of
Melitê.Melitê, a deme
of the tribe Cecropis. To him were born four children; by his first
wife a daughter and a son Amytheon, and by his second wife
Chaerestratê my mother and Timocrates. These also had children.
Amytheon had a son Damostratus, who bore the same name as his grandfather, and
two others, Callistratus and Dexitheus. Amytheon, my mother's brother, was one
of those who served in the campaign in SicilyThe disastrous
expedition to Sicily was sent out
in 415 B.C. and were killed there, and he
lies buried in the public tomb.A cenotaph, of
course. These facts will be proved to you by testimon
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 43 (search)
Now it is plain, men of
Athens, that it was not my
father who first received my mother in marriage. No; it was Protomachus,and he
had by her a son, and a daughter whom he gave in marriage. And he, even though
dead, bears testimony by what he did that my mother was an Athenian and of civic
birth.To prove that these statements of mine
are true, call first, please, the sons of Protomachus, and next the witnesses
who were present when my mother was betrothed to my father, and from the members
of the clan the kinsfolk to whom my father gave the marriage-feast in honor of
my mother. After them call Eunicus of Cholargus,Cholargus, a deme of the tribe Acamantis. who received my sister in
marriage from Protomachus, and then my sister's son. Call them.
Witnesses
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 44 (search)
Would not my
lot, men of Athens, be more piteous
than that of any other, if, when all this host of witnesses deposes and swears
that they are of my kin, and when no one disputes the citizenship of any one of
these, you should vote that I am an alien?Take,
please, also the deposition of Cleinias and that of his relatives; for they, I
presume, know who my mother was who once served as his nurse. Their oath
requires them to bear witness, not to what I say today, but to what they have
always known regarding her who was reputed to be my mother and the nurse of
Cleinias.
