Coronea (Greece) (search for this): speech 6, section 13
But it may be
urged, by someone who claims to know all about it, that he acted on that
occasion, not from ambition or from any of those motives with which I find
fault, but because the claims of the Thebans were more just than ours. Now that
is precisely the one argument that he cannot use now. What! The man who orders
the Lacedaemonians to give up their claims to Messene, how could he pretend that he handed over Orchomenus and Coronea to Thebes
because he thought it an act of justice?
Coronea (Greece) (search for this): speech 5, section 21
Hence today the Thebans have been partially successful in recovering
territory, but have failed lamentably to win honor and glory; for they would
presumably have gained nothing if Philip had not passed Thermopylae. That was not what they
wanted, but they put up with it all because they had the will, though not the
power, to grasp Orchomenus and
Coronea.
Coronea (Greece) (search for this): speech 5, section 22
Now some people actually go so far as to say that Philip was
compelled, against his real wishes, to hand over Orchomenus and Coronea
to the Thebans. For my part I wish them joy of their opinion. I only know this,
that Philip was less interested in those towns than desirous to secure the pass,
to win for himself the credit of finishing off the Sacred War, and to preside at
the Pythian games. That was the summit of his ambition.
Naupactus (Greece) (search for this): speech 9, section 34
And it is not only his outrages on Greece that go unavenged, but even the wrongs
which each suffers separately. For nothing can go beyond that. Are not the
Corinthians hit by his invasion of Ambracia and Leucas?
The Achaeans by his vow to transfer Naupactus to the Aetolians? The Thebans by his theft of
Echinus? And is he not marching

justified by Dem. 18.87. Others “their
allies,” since the Byzantines are known to have helped the Thebans
with money in the Sacred War. (Cauer, Del. Inscr.

Lemnos (Greece) (search for this): speech 4, section 32
Bearing this in mind, we must rely not on occasional
levies, or we shall be too late for everything, but on a regular standing army.
You have the advantage of winter bases for your troops in Lemnos, Thasos, Sciathos, and the neighboring islands, where are to be
found harbors, provisions, and everything that an army needs; and during that
season of the year when it is easy to stand close in to shore and the winds are
steady, your force will easily lie off his coast and at the mouth of his
seaports.
Lemnos (Greece) (search for this): speech 4, section 34
More
than that, Athenians, you will be depriving Philip of his principal source of
revenue. And what is that? For the war against you he makes your allies pay by
raiding their sea-borne commerce. Is there any further advantage? Yes, you will
be out of reach of injury yourselves. Your past experience will not be repeated,
when he threw a force into Lemnos and
Imbros and carried your citizens away captive, when he seized the shipping at
Geraestus and levied untold sums, or, to crown all, when he landed at Marathon
and bore away from our land the sacred trireme,The “Paralus,” conveying the qewri/aor state-embassy to Delos in May, touched at Marathon to offer sacrifice in the
*dh/lion or sanctuary of Apollo. Readers
of the Phaedo will remember why the execution of Socrates was
Lemnos (Greece) (search for this): speech 7, section 4
For, that plea once granted, if some
pirates seize a strip of Attic territory, or a part of Lemnos or Imbros or Scyros, and if someone
dislodges these pirates, what is to prevent this place, where the pirates are
established and which is really ours, from becoming the property of those who
chastised them?
Thasos (Greece) (search for this): speech 7, section 15
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.
Thasos (Greece) (search for this): speech 4, section 32
