Demosthenes, Olynthiac 2, section 28 (search)
Why is it, think
you, men of Athens, that all the generals you dispatch—if I am to tell
you something of the truth about them—leave this war to itself and
pursue little wars of their own? It is because in this war the prizes for which
you contend are your own—（if, for instance, Amphipolis is captured, the immediate
gain will be yours）—while the officers have all the dangers
to themselves and no remuneration; but in the other case the risks are smaller
and the prizes fall to the officers and the soldiers—Lampsacus, for example, and Sigeum, and the
plunder of the merchant-ships. So they turn aside each to what pays him best.

at that time there were some who assured us that Thespiae and Plataea would be rebuilt, that Philip, if he gained the
mastery, would protect the Phocians and break up Thebes into villages, and that you would retain Oropus and
receive Euboea in exchange for
Amphipolis. Led on by these
false hopes and cajoleries, you abandoned the Phocians against your own
interests and against justice and honor. But you will find that I neither took
part in this deception, nor passed it over in silence, but spoke out boldly, as
I am sure you remember, saying that I had neither knowledge nor expectation of
such results and that all such talk was nonsense.

The second precaution, men of Athens, is to avoid giving the
self-styled Amphictyons now assembled any call or excuse for a crusade against
us. For if we should hereafter come to blows with Philip, about Amphipolis or in any private quarrel
not shared by the Thessalians or the Argives or the Thebans, I do not believe
for a moment that any of the latter would be dragged into the war, least of

In the same way by agreement

that the respite which the peace affords is more productive of advantages than
wrangling and coming to blows over these points. Therefore it is sheer folly and

And today at any rate this policy is in a measure forced upon him. For
observe! He wants to rule, and he has made up his mind that you, and you only,
are his rivals. He has long injured you; of nothing is he more conscious than of
that. For it is by holding the cities which are really yours that he retains
safe possession of all the rest, and he feels that if he gave up Amphipolis and Potidaea, his own country would not be safe
for him.

the men,Aeschines and, in particular, Philocrates （Dem. 19.46）. I say, who told you
that I, being a water-drinker, was naturally a disagreeable, cross-grained
fellow, and that Philip, if he got through the Pass, would do just what you
would pray for, would fortify Thespiae
and Plataea, and humble the Theban
pride, and dig a trench across the ChersoneseTo protect the Greek
cities from the raids of the Thracians. at his own charges, and
restore to you Euboea and Oropus in
lieu of Amphipolis. All this was
said from this very platform, as I am sure you recollect, although you are not

And you
approved these arguments and said that Pytho was right, as indeed he was. He
made these statements, however, not in order that all those advantages that
Philip had paid so much money to secure might be struck out of the treaty, but
because he had been so instructed by his schoolmasters here in Athens, who did not imagine that anyone
would propose to annul the decree of Philocrates, which lost us Amphipolis.
Demosthenes, On the Halonnesus, section 24 (search)
As for me, men of Athens, I did not venture to propose
anything that was unconstitutional, but it was not so to propose the direct
contrary of Philocrates' decree, as I can prove to you. For the decree of
Philocrates, through which you lost Amphipolis, was itself contrary to the earlier decrees by which
you claimed possession of that territory.
