Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 155 (search)
So I got them
away from Athens, but quite against
their will, as you will easily learn from their subsequent behavior. When we had
arrived at Oreus and joined Proxenus, instead of obeying their instructions and
proceeding by sea, they started on a roundabout tour. We had wasted
three-and-twenty days before we reached Macedonia; and all the rest of the time, making, with the time
consumed by the journey, fifty days in all, until the arrival of Philip, we were
dawdling at Pella.

It would
therefore have been too bad to break my word and abandon fellow-creatures and
fellow-citizens in misfortune. Had I declined on oath, a private excursion to
Macedonia would have been neither
decent nor safe. Except for my strong desire to liberate those men, may I die
miserably before my timeThe Greek phrase, which
occurs also at the end of the De corona, suggests by its
jingle the formula of some curse, but cannot be well reproduced in
English. if any reward would have induced me to accept an embassy
with these men as my colleagues. I proved that by twice excusing myself when you
twice appointed me to the third embassy, and also by my constant opposition to
them on this journey.

Now let us compare the banquet of Satyrus
with another entertainment which these men attended in Macedonia; and you shall see whether there is
any sort of resemblance. These men had been invited to the house of Xenophron, a
son of Phaedimus, who was one of the Thirty Tyrants, and off they went; but I
declined to go. When the drinking began, Xenophron introduced an Olynthian
woman,—a handsome, but a freeborn and, as the event proved, a modest
girl

Aeschines, on the other hand, gave
away and sold Amphipolis, a city
which the King of Persia and all
Greece recognized as yours,
speaking in support of the resolution moved by Philocrates. It was highly
becoming in him, was it not to remind us of Solon? Not content with this
performance at home, he went to Macedonia, and never mentioned the place with which his mission
was concerned. So he stated in his own report, for no doubt you remember how he
said “I, too, had something to say about Amphipolis, but I left it out to give
Demosthenes a chance of dealing with that subject.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 255 (search)
What we require, Aeschines, is not oratory
with enfolded hands, but diplomacy with enfolded hands. But in Macedonia you held out your hands, turned them
palm upwards, and brought shame upon your countrymen, and then here at home you
talk magniloquently; you practise and declaim some miserable fustian, and think
to escape the due penalty of your heinous crimes, if you only don your little
skull-cap,skull-cap: a soft cap commonly
worn by invalids; also, according to Plutarch, by Solon, when he recited his
verses on Salamis. Demosthenes
ironically pretends that the defendant is still suffering from his sham
illness [Dem. 19.124].

Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 265 (search)
But when some of them began to accept bribes,
when the populace was so stupid, or, let us say, so unlucky, as to give more
credence to those persons than to patriotic speakers, when Lasthenes had roofed
his house with timber sent as a present from Macedonia, and Euthycrates was keeping a large herd of cattle
for which he had paid nothing to anybody, when one man returned home with a
flock of sheep and another with a stud of horses, when the masses, whose
interests were endangered, instead of being angry and demanding the punishment
of the traitors, stared at them, envied them, honored them, and thought them
fine fellows,

He did it because Timarchus had moved in
the Council a decree making the conveyance of arms or ships' tackle to Philip a
capital offence. As evidence of that, let me ask how long Timarchus had been a
public speaker? A very long time; and during all that time Aeschines was in
Athens; yet he never took
offence, he never began to think it a shame that a man of such character should
make speeches, until he had visited Macedonia and sold himself. Please take and read the actual
decree of Timarchus.
Decree
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 307 (search)
Such was his speech on
that occasion; a noble speech, worthy of our Athenian traditions. But after he
had visited Macedonia, and beheld his
own enemy and the enemy of all Greece,
did his language bear the slightest resemblance to those utterances? Not in the
least: he bade you not to remember your forefathers, not to talk about trophies,
not to carry succor to anybody. As for the people who recommended you to consult
the Greeks on the terms of peace with Philip, he was amazed at the suggestion
that it was necessary that any foreigner should be convinced when the questions
were purely domestic.
