Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 19, section 1
Citizens of Athens, I do not doubt that you are all pretty well aware that
this trial has been the center of keen partisanship and active canvassing, for
you saw the people who were accosting and annoying you just now at the casting
of lots.For the selection of jurors. But
I have to make a request which ought to be granted without asking, that you will
all give less weight to private entreaty or personal influence than to the
spirit of justice and to the oath which you severally swore when you entered
that box. You will reflect that justice and the oath concern yourselves and the
commonwealth, whereas the importunity and party spirit of advocates serve the
end of those private ambitions which you are convened by the laws to thwart, not
to encourage for the advantage of evil-doers.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 20, section 1
Gentlemen of the
jury, it is chiefly because I consider that the State will benefit by the repeal
of this law, but partly also out of sympathy with the young son of Chabrias,
that I have consented to support the plaintiffs to the best of my ability. It is
clear, men of Athens, that Leptines
and anyone else who defends the law will have nothing fair to say in its favor,
but will urge the unworthiness of certain persons who have used their exemption
as a means of shirking the public services, and he will take his stand chiefly
on that ground.

However, if I may mention two instances to the
exclusion of the rest, you gave your citizenship to EvagorasIf this is the younger Evagoras, Philip's history is inaccurate.
He was expelled from Cyprus, and
helped Artaxerxes to recover the island after the revolt, but he was never
reinstated. His grandfather, of the same name, the friend and helper of
Conon, was made an Athenian
citizen. of Cyprus and to
DionysiusThe younger, expelled by
Dion in 356 and by Timoleon in
343. of Syracuse, to
them and their descendants. Now, if you can persuade either of these peoples to
restore their exiled tyrants, then you may apply to me for as much of Thrace as was ruled by Teres and Cersobleptes.

In the one case, you will show yourselves ready to
help the Arcadians and eager to confirm the peace for which you faced danger on
the field of battle. In the other case, everyone will see clearly that you wish
to preserve Messene less for the
sake of justice than for fear of the Lacedaemonians. But the proper course is in
all things to find out what is right and then do it, though at the same time we
must take care that what we do is expedient as well.
Peloponnesus (Greece) (search for this): speech 17, section 10
I come to another claim sanctioned by the compact. For
the actual words are, “If any of the parties shall overthrow the
constitution established in the several states at the date when they took the
oaths to observe the peace, they shall be treated as enemies by all the parties
to the peace.” But just reflect, men of Athens, that the Achaeans in the Peloponnese enjoyed democratic government, and
one of their democracies, that of Pellene, has now been overthrown by the Macedonian king, who
has expelled the majority of the citizens, given their property to their slaves,
and set up Chaeron, the wrestler, as their tyra
