Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Orations of Demosthenes, Vol. 2 of 2: Pronounced to Excite the Athenians Against Philip, King of Macedon The contests between the Macedonians and Athenians (to which we owe the most valuable remains of Demosthenes) have been explained in the former volume of the Philippic orations. The reader is not now to be informed, at what time, and with what success, King Philip attempted to reduce Perinthus and Byzantium. When he found himself obliged to raise the siege of Byzantium, he is said to have turned his arms against Scythia. The Athenians, who were elated by the least appearance of good fortune, considered this as a flight. They were fired with the imagination of an enemy. that had so long proved formidable and successful, defeated in his designs; and this, principally, by the counsels and arms of Athens, retiring before their general, Phocion, and forced from all attempts on Greece, to retrieve the honour of his arms, in parts remote and barbarous. This they considered as the happy moment for pursuing their advantages, and for reducing that ambition to just and equitable bounds, which was now, for the first time, severely mortified and disappointed.
