with this, you have shown your contempt for right and your hostility to me by
actually sending an embassy to urge the king of Persia to declare war on me. This is the most amazing exploit
of all; for, before the king reduced Egypt and Phoenicia,These two provinces,
together with Cyprus, revolted in
346 and were recovered by Artaxerxes Ochus. Greek mercenaries formed the
backbone of the armies on both sides. See Grote, chap. 90. Nothing is known
of any such Athenian decree. you passed a decree calling on me to
make common cause with the rest of the Greeks against him, in case he attempted
to interfere with us;
Demosthenes, Against Callippus, section 20 (search)
Now, men of the
jury, I shall show you that Lycon had no dealings with Callippus; for I think
this will be something to confound the impudent assurance of this man, who
asserts that this money was given to him by Lycon as a present. Lycon had lent
to Megacleides of Eleusis and his
brother Thrasyllus the sum of forty minae for a voyage to AcêAcê, a town on the coast of Phoenicia. but, when they changed
their minds and decided not to risk the voyage to that point, Lycon, after
making some complaints against Megacleides regarding the interest, and believing
that he had been deceived, quarrelled with him and went to law for the purpose
of recovering his loan
Xerxes, vying with the zeal displayed by the Carthaginians,
surpassed them in all his preparations to the degree that he excelled the Carthaginians in the
multitude of peoples at his command. And he began to have ships built throughout all the
territory along the sea that was subject to him, both Egypt and Phoenicia and Cyprus, Cilicia and
Pamphylia and Pisidia, and also Lycia, Caria, Mysia, the
Troad, and the cities on the Hellespont, and Bithynia, and Pontus. Spending a period
of three years, as did the Carthaginians, on his preparations, he made ready more than twelve
hundred warships. He was aided in this by his father Darius,
who before his death had made preparations of great armaments; for Darius, after Datis, his
general, had been defeated by the Athenians at Marathon, had continued to be angry with the
Athenians for having won that battle. But Darius, when already about to cross overi.e. from Asia into
Europe via the

Albinus. During this year, in Asia Artabazus and Megabyzus, who had been dispatched to the war
against the Egyptians, set out from Persia with more
than three hundred thousand soldiers, counting both cavalry and infantry. When they arrived in Cilicia
and Phoenicia, they rested their land forces after the
journey and commanded the Cyprians and Phoenicians and Cilicians to supply ships. And when
three hundred triremes had been made ready, they fitted them out with the ablest marines and
arms and missiles and everything else that is useful in naval warfare. So these leaders were busy with their preparations and with giving their
soldiers training and accustoming every man to the practice of warfare, and they spent almost
this entire year in this way. Meanwhile the Athenians in
Egypt were besieging the troops which had taken
