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.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 8, section 15
I think
not. Nay, even if there are others whom they distrust more than us, I think they
will rather admit such within their walls than surrender their city to
Philip—if indeed he does not forestall them by capturing it.
Therefore, if we cannot sail from Athens, and if there is no force ready to help them on the
spot, their doom is sealed
Chersonese (Ukraine) (search for this): speech 9, section 15
But, in heaven's name, is there any
intelligent man who would let words rather than deeds decide the question who is
at peace and who is at war with him? Surely no one. Now it was Philip who at the
very start, as soon as peace was concluded, before Diopithes was appointed
general, before the force now in the Chersonese had been dispatched, proceeded to occupy Serrium and
Doriscus and expelled from the Fort Serreum and the Sacred Mount the garrison
which your own general had posted there.
Cabyle (Bulgaria) (search for this): speech 10, section 15
This, then, is the first thing
needful, to recognize in Philip the inveterate enemy of constitutional
government and democracy; and your second need is to convince yourselves that
all his activity and all his organization is preparing the way for an attack on
our city. For none of you is so simple as to believe that though Philip covets
these wretched objects in Thrace—for what else can one call Drongilus
and Cabyle and Mastira and the other
places he is said to be now holding ?—and though he endures toil and
winter storms and deadly peril for the privilege of taking th
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 16
Now someone may tell
me that to find fault is easy and in any one's power, but that it needs a
statesman to expound the policy demanded by our circumstances. But I am not
unaware, men of Athens, that if
anything goes wrong, you often vent your disappointment, not on the responsible
agents, but on those who happen to have addressed you last. I shall not,
however, consult my own safety by keeping back what I believe to be for your
true interests.
Chalkidike (Greece) (search for this): speech 3, section 16
Why, what better time
or occasion could you find than the present, men of Athens? When will you do your duty, if not
now? Has not your enemy already captured all our strongholds, and if he becomes
master of Chalcidice, shall we not be
overwhelmed with dishonor? Are not those states actually at war which we so
readily engaged in that event to protect? Is not Philip our enemy? And in
possession of our property? And a barbarian? Is any description too bad for him?

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 4, section 16
First
then, men of Athens, I propose to
equip fifty war-galleys; next you must make up your minds to embark and sail in
them yourselves, if necessary. Further I recommend the provision of transports
and other vessels, sufficient for the conveyance of half our cavalry.
Attica (Greece) (search for this): speech 5, section 16
If we went to war again with the Thebans about
OropusOropus was in Attica, close to the Boeotian frontier. A
war for its possession would therefore be confined to the Thebans and the
Athenians, and Demosthenes has no fear of the result. or for some
other private reason, I do not think we should suffer, for both their allies and
ours would, of course, offer support, if their own territory were invaded, but
would not join either side in aggression. That is the way with every alliance
worth considering, and such is the natural result.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 6, section 16
For my part I do not believe that Philip, if he acted
in the first place reluctantly and under compulsion, or if he were now inclined
to throw the Thebans over, would be persistently opposing their enemies. But if
we may judge from his present conduct, it is plain that on that occasion also he
acted from deliberate choice, and everything, if correctly observed, points to
the fact that all his intrigues are directed against Athens.
