Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 244 (search)
You will find that
even our defeat, if this reprobate must needs exult over what he ought to have
deplored, did not fall upon the city through any fault of mine. Make your
reckoning in this way: wherever I was sent as your representative, I came away
undefeated by Philip's ambassador—from Thessaly, from Ambracia, from the Illyrians, from the kings of Thrace, from Byzantium, from every other place, and
finally from Thebes; but wherever
Philip was beaten in diplomacy, he attacked the place with an army and conquered

to preserve
places already at our disposal, such as Proconnesus, Chersonesus, Tenedos, by sending succor to them and by suitable speeches and
resolutions; to secure the friendship and alliance of such places as Byzantium, Abydos, and Euboea; to
destroy the most important of the existing resources of the enemy, and to make
good the deficiencies of our own city. All these purposes were accomplished by
my decrees and my administrative acts.
Demosthenes, Against Leptines, section 60 (search)
In the second place, will you not wrong
Archebius and Heraclides, who by putting Byzantium into the hands of Thrasybulus made you masters of the
Hellespont, so that you farmed out
the toll of ten per cent,Levied by the
Byzantines on the value of the cargo of every ship passing through the
Bosporus. and thus being
well furnished with money forced the Lacedaemonians to conclude a peace
favorable to you?The Athenians gained
Byzantium and Chalcedon in 390 B.C. It is strange to find the notorious peace of Antalcidas
mentioned with approval. When subsequently they were banished, you,
Athenians, passed what I think was a very proper decree in favor of men exiled
through devotion to your interests, conferring on them the title of Friends of

just as Thasos and
Byzantium then were friendly
to the Lacedaemonians and estranged from you—promised to hand them
over to you in return for the same rewards that you gave to Ecphantus of
Thasos and Archebius of Byzantium; and suppose some of these
gentlemen here objected to their proposal on the ground that it would be
monstrous if a select few of the resident aliens Byzantium; and suppose some of these
gentlemen here objected to their proposal on the ground that it would be
monstrous if a select few of the resident aliens were to escape the public
services; how would you deal with their arguments? Is it not certain that you
would refuse to listen to such malignant pettifoggers? If so, then it is
disgraceful that you should consider such an objection malignant when you are
going to receive a benefit, but should lend an ear to it when it is proposed to
revoke your gifts to former benefactors. Now let us pass to anot
Demosthenes, Against Aristocrates, section 189 (search)
But now, when I perceive
that he is contriving a new plan by which, if only he can provide himself with
agents here to mislead you on his behalf, our friends abroad, who are ready to
serve you and to stop him from acting against you,—I mean such men as
Athenodorus, Simon, Archebius of Byzantium, the two kings of Thrace,—will all find it out of their power to oppose
or to thwart him, at such a time I come into court and denounce h
Demosthenes, Against Apatourius, section 5 (search)
As I have visited many places and
spend my time in your exchange, I know most of those who are seafarers, and with
these men from Byzantium I am on
intimate terms through having myself spent much time there. My position, then,
was such as I have described, when this fellow put into our port with a
fellow-countryman of his, named Parmeno, a Byzantine by birth, who was an exile
from his country.
Demosthenes, Against Neaera, section 3 (search)
The Lacedaemonians, having appointed Pausanias, who had held the command at Plataea, admiral of their fleet, instructed him to liberate
the Greek cities which were still held by barbarian garrisons. And taking fifty triremes from the Peloponnesus and
summoning from the Athenians thirty commanded by Aristeides, he first of all sailed to
Cyprus and liberated those cities which still had
Persian garrisons; and after this he sailed to the Hellespont and took Byzantium, which was held by the Persians, and of the other barbarians some he
slew and others he expelled, and thus liberated the city, but many important Persians whom he
captured in the city he turned over to Gongylus of Eretria to guard. Ostensibly Gongylus was to keep these men for punishment, but
actually he was to get them off safe to Xerxes; for Pausanias had secretly made a pact of
friendship with the king and was about to marry the daughter of Xerxes, his purpose being to
betray
470 B.C.When Demotion was archon in Athens, the
Romans elected as consuls Publius Valerius Publicola and Gaius Nautius Rufus. In this year the
Athenians, electing as general Cimon the son of Miltiades and giving him a strong force, sent
him to the coast of Asia to give aid to the cities
which were allied with them and to liberate those which were still held by Persian garrisons.
And Cimon, taking along the fleet which was at Byzantium and putting in at the city which is called
Eion,In
describing the successes of Cimon, Diodorus has compressed the events of some ten years into
one; Eion was taken in 476
B.C. and the battle of the Eurymedon took place in 467 or 466
B.C. took it from the Persians who were holding it and captured by siege Scyros, which
was inhabited by Pelasgians and Dolopes; and setting up an Athenian as the founder of a colony
he portioned out the land in allotments.This was an
Athenian cleruchy, whi
