Pellene (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
Arcadia (Greece) (search for this): speech 19, section 10
Aeschines, then, was the first man in Athens, as he claimed at the time in a
speech, to perceive that Philip had designs against Greece, and was corrupting some of the magnates of Arcadia. It was he who, with Ischander, son of
Neoptolemus, as his understudy, addressed the Council, and addressed the
Assembly, on this subject, and persuaded them to send ambassadors to all the
Greek states to convene a conference at Athens for the consideration of war with Philip.

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 18, section 100
Your deliverance of the island was a
generous act, but still more generously, when you had their lives and their
cities at your mercy, you restored them honestly to men who had sinned against
you, forgetting your wrongs where you found yourselves trusted. I pass over ten
thousand instances I could cite,—battles by sea, expeditions by land,
campaigns of ancient date and of our own times, in all of which Athens engaged herself for the freedom and
salvation of Greece

Thespiae (Greece) (search for this): speech 19, section 102
Assuming that, when
Aeschines made those speeches about the Phocians and Thespiae and Euboea, he had not sold himself, and was not wilfully deceiving
you, we are reduced to one of two suppositions. Either he had taken an explicit
promise from Philip that he would do and perform certain acts, or else, being
spellbound and deluded by Philip's habitual courtesy, he honestly expected him
to do them. There is no third alternative.

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 18, section 103
Being indicted for this measure, I
stood my trial before this court and was acquitted, the prosecutor not getting
the fifth part of the votes. Now how much money do you think the first, second,
and third classes of contributors on the Naval Boards offered me not to propose
the measure, or, failing that, to put it on the list and then drop it on
demurrerU(PWMOSI/A, in general an affidavit to arrest proceedings;
here the oath taken in the Assembly by the party engaging to prosecute the
author of a law or a decree for violation of the constitution. Its effect
was to keep the law in abeyance, at whatever stage it had arrived, until the
suit was decided.?\b It was so large a sum, men of Athens, that I hardly like to name it.
