But since I
believe that neither would Artemisia now oppose this action on our part, if our
State were once committed to it, give me your attention for a little and
consider whether my reasoning is sound or not. I think that if the King's
designs in Egypt were meeting with any
success, Artemisia would make a big effort to secure Rhodes for him, not from any goodwill towards
him, but because, while he is in her neighborhood, she would like to put him
under a great obligation, so that he may give her as cordial a recognitionAcknowledging her as the successor of
Mausolus. as possible.
Demosthenes, On the Liberty of the Rhodians, section 13 (search)
while as to the King, I should not like to
say that I know what he is actually going to do, but that it is to our advantage
that he should at once make it clear whether he is going to claim Rhodes or not—that I should maintain
positively. For when he does claim it, you will have to take counsel, not for
the Rhodians only, but for yourselves and all the Greeks
Demosthenes, On the Liberty of the Rhodians, section 14 (search)
And yet, even if the
party at present in possession held Rhodes by their own strength, I should not have advised you to
take their side, even if they promised to do everything you wished. For I notice
that at the start, in order to overthrow the democracy, they enlisted some of
the citizens on their side, and when they had succeeded, sent them into
banishment again. Now men who have been faithful to neither side could never, I
am sure, become steadfast allies to you.
Demosthenes, On the Liberty of the Rhodians, section 19 (search)
Seeing that Chios and Mytilene are ruled by oligarchs, and that
Rhodes and, I might almost say, all
the world are now being seduced into this form of slavery, I am surprised that
none of you conceives that our constitution too is in danger, nor draws the
conclusion that if all other states are organized on oligarchical principles, it
is impossible that they should leave your democracy alone. For they know that
none but you will bring freedom back again, and of course they want to destroy
the source from which they are expecting ruin to themselves.
Demosthenes, On the Liberty of the Rhodians, section 27 (search)
No one has come forward to dissuade Mausolus when he
was alive, or Artemisia since his death, from seizing Cos and Rhodes and various other Greek states, which
the King, their overlord, ceded by treaty to the Greeks, and for which the
Greeks of those days faced many dangers and won much honor in the field. At any
rate, if there is anyone to give advice to either of these powers, there are
none, it seems, to profit by his advice.
Demosthenes, On the Crown, section 234 (search)
For resources, the
city possessed the islanders—but not all, only the weakest, for
neither Chios, nor Rhodes, nor Corcyra was on our side; a subsidy of forty-five talents, all
collected in advance; and not a single private or trooper apart from our own
army. But what was most alarming to us, and advantageous to the enemy, Aeschines
and his party had made all our neighbors, Megarians, Thebans, and Euboeans, more
disposed to enmity than to friendship
