Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 230 (search)
that, instead of the seat of war being in Attica, it was seven hundred furlongs away on
the far side of Boeotia; that, instead
of privateers from Euboea harrying us,
Attica was at peace on the
sea-frontier throughout the war; and that, instead of Philip taking Byzantium and holding the Hellespont, the Byzantines fought on our side
against him.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 240 (search)
If I am accused today for what was actually done, suppose that, while I was
haggling over nice calculations, these cities had marched off and joined
Philip—suppose he had become suzerain o f Euboea, Thebes, and
Byzantium— what do
you think these unprincipled men would have done or said th
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 241 (search)
Would they not have told you that we had made Philip
a present of our allies? That they had been driven away when they wanted to join
us? That through the Byzantines he had gained the mastery of the Hellespont, and control of the corn-supply of
all Greece? That by means of the
Thebans Attica had become the scene of a distressing war with her own neighbors?
That the sea had become useless for ships because of privateers with Euboea for their base? Would they not have
made all those complaints, and plenty more?
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 301 (search)
What course of action
was proper for a patriotic citizen who was trying to serve his country with all
possible prudence and energy and loyalty? Surely it was to protect Attica on the sea-board by Euboea, on the inland frontier by Boeotia, and on the side towards Peloponnesus by our neighbors in that
direction; to make provision for the passage of our corn-supply along friendly
coasts all the way to Peiraeus;
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 302 (search)
to preserve
places already at our disposal, such as Proconnesus, Chersonesus, Tenedos, by sending succor to them and by suitable speeches and
resolutions; to secure the friendship and alliance of such places as Byzantium, Abydos, and Euboea; to
destroy the most important of the existing resources of the enemy, and to make
good the deficiencies of our own city. All these purposes were accomplished by
my decrees and my administrative acts.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 22 (search)
He had even heard some Euboeans, who
were thoroughly frightened by the friendship that had been cemented between
Philip and Athens, utter these very
words: “Gentlemen of the Embassy, we know all about the terms on which
you have concluded peace with Philip, and we are aware that you have given up
Amphipolis to him, and that
he has agreed to hand over Euboea to
you.” He had also, he said, settled another matter, but he thought it
better not to mention it just yet—some of his colleagues were already
so jealous of him. This was a veiled allusion to Or
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 83 (search)
Moreover, apart from the discredit and infamy attached
to these transactions, it is easy to show that they have involved the
commonwealth in very serious perils. You all know that the prowess of the
Phocians, and their control of the pass of Thermopylae, gave us security against the Thebans, and ensured
that neither Philip nor the Thebans would invade either the Peloponnesus, or Euboea, or Attica.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 102 (search)
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.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 204 (search)
He cannot claim as
advantages the destruction of the Phocians, or Philip's occupation of Thermopylae, or the aggrandizement of
Thebes, or the invasion of
Euboea, or the designs against
Megara, or the unratified peace;
for he reported himself that exactly the opposite was going to happen and would
be to your advantage. Neither can he convince you, against the evidence of your
own eyes and your own knowledge, that these disasters are fabulous.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 219 (search)
and with foreknowledge on the assurance of your ambassadors that your allies
would be ruined, that the Thebans would gain strength, that Philip would occupy
the northern positions, that a basis of attack would be established against you
in Euboea, and that everything that has
in fact resulted would befall you, you thereupon cheerfully made the peace, by
all means acquit Aeschines, and do not crown your other dishonors with the sin
of perjury. He has done you no wrong, and I am a madman and a fool to accuse
him.
