Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 48 (search)
Look at these instances,
because, though the right time for action is past, for wise men it is always the
right time to understand history. Lasthenes was hailed as friend—until
he betrayed Olynthus; Timolaus,
until he brought Thebes to ruin;
Eudicus and Simus of Larissa, until they put Thessaly under Philip's heel. Since then the whole world has
become crowded with men exiled, insulted, punished in every conceivable way.
What of Aristratus at Sicyon? or
PerilausPerilaus: so MSS. here, and, with
variations, in 295; according to Greek lexicographers the name was
Perillus. at Megara? Are
they not outcasts
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 71 (search)
Even now I
will not discuss them. But here was a man annexing Euboea and making it a basis of operations against Attica, attacking Megara, occupying Oreus, demolishing
Porthmus, establishing the tyranny of Philistides at Oreus and of Cleitarchus at
Eretria, subjugating the
Hellespont, besieging Byzantium, destroying some of the Greek
cities, reinstating exiled traitors in others: by these acts was he, or was he
not, committing injustice, breaking treaty, and violating the terms of peace?
Was it, or was it not, right that some man of Grecian race should stand forward
to stop those aggressions?
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 96 (search)
When the Lacedaemonians, men of Athens, had the supremacy of land and sea, and were holding
with governors and garrisons all the frontiers of Attica, Euboea,
Tanagra, all Boeotia, Megara, Aegina,
Ceos, and the other islands, for at
that time Athens had no ships and no
walls, you marched out to Haliartus,Haliartus,
395 B.C.; Corinth, 394 B.C.; Decelean war,
the last period, 4l3-404, of the Peloponnesian war, when the Spartans held
the fortified position of Decelea in Attica. and again a few days later to Corinth. The Athenians of those days had
good reason to bear malice against the Corinthians and the Thebans for their
conduct during the Decelean War; but they bore no malice whatever.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 87 (search)
That is the
decree you then made; and you owe it to these men. It was not with such
expectations that you either made the first draft of the peace and alliance, or
subsequently consented to add the words, and to his posterity, but in the hope
of marvellous benefits through their agency. Yes, and since then you all
remember how many times you have been agitated by news of Philip's army and
auxiliaries at Porthmus or at Megara. True, he has not yet set foot in Attica; but you must not look only at that and
abate your vigilance,—you must bear in mind that, thanks to these men,
he has it in his power to do so whenever he chooses. You must keep that danger
before your eyes, and abhor and punish the author and purveyor of that power.
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 326 (search)
Instead of the
surrender to you of Euboea in exchange
for Amphipolis, Philip is
establishing positions in Euboea as a
base of attack upon you, and is constantly plotting against Geraestus and
Megara. Instead of recovering
Oropus, we are making an armed expedition to secure DrymusDrymus, Panactus: frontier-towns on the edge of Boeotia. and the district of
Panactus,Drymus, Panactus: frontier-towns
on the edge of Boeotia. an
operation in which we never engaged so long as the Phocians were safe.
Demosthenes, On the False Embassy, section 334 (search)
These are my accusations. Do
not forget them. For a just and equitable peace I would be grateful; I would
have commended and advised you to decorate negotiators who had not first sold
themselves and then deceived you with falsehoods. Granted that you were wronged
by any commander,—he is not concerned in the present inquiry. Did any
commander bring Halus to destruction? or the Phocians? or Doriscus? or
Cersobleptes? or the Sacred Mount? or Thermopylae? Was it a commander who gave Philip an open road to
Attica through the territory of
friends and allies? Who has made Coronea and Orchomenus
and Euboea alien ground for us? Who
nearly did the same with Megara only
yesterday? Who has made the Thebans strong
