[37]
Let me remind you, gentlemen, of the conduct of your
forbears, who, at a time when many grave perils beset the city, faced danger in
the interests of the people, in a manner worthy of their country and their
well-earned reputation, as befitted free men. Time does not permit me to deal
with those figures of the past, Aristides and Themistocles: the men who built
the city's walls and carried up to the Acropolis the tribute paid by the willing
and even eager Greeks.
