On many
occasions, men of Athens, one may, I
think, recognize the manifest favor of heaven towards our city, and not least at
the present crisis. That Philip has found men willing to fight him, situated on
his frontiers and possessed of considerable power, above all so determined that
they regard any accommodation with him as both delusive and fatal to their own
country—this has all the appearance of a super-human, a divine
beneficence.
