Aeschines, On the Embassy, section 17 (search)
Finally Democrates of Aphidna went before the senate and persuaded them to summon Aristodemus. One of the senators was Demosthenes, my accuser! Aristodemus appeared before them, reported Philip's great friendliness toward the city, and added this besides, that Philip even wished to become an ally of our state. This he said not only before the senate, but also at an assembly of the people. Here again Demosthenes spoke no word in opposition, but even moved that a crown be conferred on Aristodemus.
Aeschines, On the Embassy, section 124 (search)
How he has deceived you—deceit is ever the mark of the charlatan—see from his own words. He says that I went down the Loedias river to Philip in a canoe by night, and that I wrote for Philip the letter which came to you. For Leosthenes, who had been exiled from Athens through the work of blackmailers, was not competent to write a clever letter—a man whom some do not hesitate to rank next to Callistratus of Aphidna as an able o

Any person disobeying
this decree shall be liable to the statutory penalty for treason, unless he
can prove inability to obey in his own case, such plea of inability to be
judged by the General of the Infantry, the Paymaster-General, and the
Secretary of the Council. All property in the country shall be immediately
removed, if within a radius of 120 furlongs, to the City and Peiraeus; if
outside this radius, to Eleusis, Phyle,
Aphidna, Rhamnus, or
Sunium. Proposed by Callisthenes of Phalerum.]Was it with such expectation that you made the peace?
Were these the promises of this hireling?
Demosthenes, Against Midias, section 107 (search)
However, to prove
that my statements are true and that these things have actually been perpetrated
by this shameless ruffian, please call the witnesses.Witnesses[We,
Dionysius of Aphidna and
Antiphilus of Paeania, when our kinsman Nicodemus had met with a violent
death at the hands of Aristarchus, the son of Moschus, prosecuted
Aristarchus for murder. Learning this, Meidias, who is now being brought to
trial by Demosthenes, for whom we appear, offered us small sums of money to
let Aristarchus go unharmed, and to substitute the name of Demosthenes in
the indictment for murder.]Now let me have the law concerning bribery.
Dinarchus, Against Demosthenes, section 23 (search)
You are the people who, for crimes far smaller than those
Demosthenes has committed, have inflicted on men severe and irrevocable
penalties. It was you who killed Menon the miller, because he kept a free boy
from Pellene in his mill. You
punished with death Themistius of Aphidna, because he assaulted the Rhodian lyre-player at the
Eleusinian festival, and Euthymachus, because he put the Olynthian girl in a
brothel.

And when the power recently shifted from them to Philip they then chose to flatter him and Democrates of AphidnaDemocrates of Aphidna was a politician whom Aeschines mentions (Aeschin. 2. 17;cf. Isaeus 6. 22). He had quite a reputation for wit and some of his sayings are preserved.

He had quite a reputation for wit and some of his sayings are preserved. As a descendant of one of the tyrant-slayers, probably of Aristogiton, who appears to have been a member of the tribe Aphidna, he enjoyed free meals in the Prytaneum, a privilege to which apparently only the eldest of each line was entitled (CIA1.8; 2. 240). who never leaves their sides . . . makes jokes on the city's misfortunes, abusing you in the market place by day and then Aphidna, he enjoyed free meals in the Prytaneum, a privilege to which apparently only the eldest of each line was entitled (CIA1.8; 2. 240). who never leaves their sides . . . makes jokes on the city's misfortunes, abusing you in the market place by day and then coming at evening to dine at your table.

Isaeus, Philoctemon, section 22 (search)
When, however, his son Philoctemon refused to agree to this, and the members of the ward would not admit the boy, and the victim for the sacrifice of admission was removed from the altar,Apparently the effect of this action would be to defer the question of admission till a later meeting of the wardsmen. Euctemon, being enraged against his son and wishing to pay him out, announced his intention of marrying a sister of Democrates of Aphidna and recognizing any children who should be born to her and bringing them into the family, unless he consented to allow Alce's son to be introduced.
And when he was unable to obtain her from her guardians—for they were awaiting her maturity and the fulfilment of the oracle which the Pythian priestess had given—scorning the royal power of TyndareusFather of Helen., disdaining the might of Castor and PolluxBrothers of Helen., and belittling all the hazards in Lacedaemon, he seized her by force and established her at Aphidna in Atti
