Amphipolis (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 27
But indeed I think you want no speech to
prove how vast is the difference between a war here and a war yonder. Why, if
you were obliged to take the field yourselves for a bare month, drawing from
Attica the necessary
supplies—I am assuming that there is no enemy in this
country—I suppose your farmers would lose more than the sum spent upon
the whole of the previous war.The war about
Amphipolis. Demosthenes
reckons its cost at 1500 talents (Dem. 2.28). But if war comes within
our borders, at what figure must we assess our losses? And you must add the
insolence of the enemy and the ignominy of our position, greater than any loss
in a wise man's esti
Amphipolis (Greece) (search for this): speech 7, section 27
Moreover he remembers the decree of
Philocrates, but he has quite forgotten the letter sent to you when he was
besieging Amphipolis, in which
he admitted that Amphipolis was
yours; for he said that when he had taken it he would
“restore” it to you, implying that it was your property, and
not that of the holders. Moreover he remembers the decree of

Amphipolis (Greece) (search for this): speech 2, section 28
Why is it, think
you, men of Athens, that all the generals you dispatch—if I am to tell
you something of the truth about them—leave this war to itself and
pursue little wars of their own? It is because in this war the prizes for which
you contend are your own—(if, for instance, Amphipolis is captured, the immediate
gain will be yours)—while the officers have all the dangers
to themselves and no remuneration; but in the other case the risks are smaller
and the prizes fall to the officers and the soldiers—Lampsacus, for example, and Sigeum, and the
plunder of the merchant-ships. So they turn aside each to what pays him best.
Amphipolis (Greece) (search for this): speech 7, section 28
Apparently those who
inhabited Amphipolis, before
Philip took it, were holding Athenian territory; but when he has taken it, it is
no longer our territory, but his own, that he holds; and in the same way at
Olynthus and Apollonia and Pallene he is in possession of his own
property, not that of others.
Amphipolis (Greece) (search for this): speech 6, section 30
the men,Aeschines and, in particular, Philocrates (Dem. 19.46). I say, who told you
that I, being a water-drinker, was naturally a disagreeable, cross-grained
fellow, and that Philip, if he got through the Pass, would do just what you
would pray for, would fortify Thespiae
and Plataea, and humble the Theban
pride, and dig a trench across the ChersoneseTo protect the Greek
cities from the raids of the Thracians. at his own charges, and
restore to you Euboea and Oropus in
lieu of Amphipolis. All this was
said from this very platform, as I am sure you recollect, although you are not
remarkable for keeping in mind those who injure y

But at Athens, though Philip has not only robbed
you of Amphipolis and the
Cardian territory, but is also turning Euboea into a fortress to overawe you, and is even now on his
way to attack Byzantium, it is
safe to speak on Philip's behalf. Indeed, of these politicians, some who were
beggars are suddenly growing rich, some unknown to name and fame are now men of
honor and distinction; while you, on the contrary, have passed from honor to
dishonor, from affluence to destitution. For a city's wealth I hold to be
allies, credit, goodwill, and of all these you are destitute.

Apollonia (Libya) (search for this): speech 9, section 26
[And this is easily proved by a short
calculation.] I pass over Olynthus and Methone and Apollonia and the two and thirty cities in or near Thrace, all of which Philip has destroyed so
ruthlessly that a traveler would find it hard to say whether they had ever been
inhabited. I say nothing of the destruction of the important nation of the
Phocians. But how stands the case of the Thessalians? Has he not robbed them of
their free constitutions and of their very cities, setting up tetrarchies in
order to enslave them, not city by city, but tribe by tribe?
