Dinarchus, Against Demosthenes, section 1 (search)
This popular
leader of yours, Athenians, who has imposed on himself a sentence of death
should he be proved to have taken even the smallest sum from Harpalus, has been
clearly convicted of taking bribes from those very men whom he formerly
professed to oppose. Much has already been said by StratoclesStratocles the orator, who proposed that special honors
should be paid to Lycurgus after his death (Plut. Vit. Lyc. 852 A), may possibly
be the same man as the general of that name who served at Chaeronea. and most of the charges
have now been made; as regards the report itself the Areopagus has expressed
opinions which are both just and true, while with events succeeding this
Stratocles has already dealt and read the decrees relating to th

to show in fact that, after
impeaching one rogue and traitor who, like you, had maligned the council and
myself, I proved before two thousand five hundred citizens that he had hired
himself to PythoclesPythocles was an Athenian
orator who, in company with Aeschines, attacked Demosthenes unsuccessfully
after Chaeronea. Cf. Dem. 18.285. in making this attack upon
me, and so avenged myself with the help of those then serving on the jury.
Clerk, please take the deposition. I laid it before the jury previously as
evidence and no one questioned its veracity. So I will produce it now. Read the
deposition.

led the Sacred BandThe
Sacred Band was a company of 300 picked soldiers maintained by the state.
They first attracted attention by defeating a Spartan force in 375 B.C. and played a large part in the victory of
Leuctra. At Chaeronea they fought
to the last man and were buried by the highway from Phocis to Thebes with the figure of a lion
over their tomb. and Epaminondas and their compeers were in command.
It was then that Thebes won the battle of Leuctra, then that they invaded the
Spartans' country which, it was thought, could not be ravaged. During that
period they accomplished many fine achievements: founded Messene in the four hundredthMessenia
was first conquered about the year 700 B.C., so
that the figure 400th is a very rough estimate; 300th would be nea

On the other hand when was their
achievement despicable and unworthy of their spirit? When Timolaus,The three men mentioned in this sentence were
Theban generals at the battle of Chaeronea. the friend of Demosthenes, was corrupted
and took bribes from Philip, when the traitor Proxenus commanded the mercenaries
enlisted at Amphissa and Theagenes
was placed in command of the phalanx, a man of ill luck and, like the defendant
here, open to bribes. Then, because of the three men whom I have mentioned, the
whole city was destroyed and blotted from the face of Greece. Far from being false it is only too
true that leaders are responsible for all the citizens' good fortunes and for
the reverse.

I want you
also, Athenians, to hear that other decree moved by Demosthenes,One of the several decrees relating to defence
proposed by Demosthenes after Chaeronea; the oracle is mentioned in the speech on the
False Embassy (Dem. 19.297
sq.). the decree which this democratic statesman proposed
when the city was in disorder after the battle of Chaeronea, and also the oracle sent from Dod on the
False Embassy (Dem. 19.297
sq.). the decree which this democratic statesman proposed
when the city was in disorder after the battle of Chaeronea, and also the oracle sent from Dodona from Dodonian Zeus; for it has long
been warning you clearly to beware of your leaders and advisers. Read the oracle
first.

Listen to that, gentlemen of the jury. The
decree says that the chosen embassies shall set out. When, after the battle of
Chaeronea, he heard that Philip
intended to invade our country he appointed himself an envoy, so as to escape
from the city, and went off,Dinarchus is
perhaps referring to the fact that after Chaeronea Demosthenes was appointed
a commissioner for corn (sitw/nhs) and went abroad to procure it (cf.
Dem. 18.248). Alternatively when
appeals for help were made by Athens to some of the islands (cf. Lyc. 1.42) Demosthenes may have served as
an envoy. after scraping together eight talents from the treasury,
without a thought about the plight we were in, at a time when everyone else was
contributing from his own money to ensu

Where are the triremes

confidence inspired by Eubulus, son of Spintharus, who controlled Athenian
finances from 354 to 350 B.C., and perhaps for a
further period also, compare Aeschin.
3.25. in his time, has supplied to the city? Where are the
dockyards built under his administration? When did he improve the cavalry either
by decree or law? Despite such opportunities as were offered after the battle of
Chaeronea, did he raise a single
force either for land or sea? What ornament for the goddess has he carried up to
the Acropolis? What building has Demosthenes put up, either in your exchange, or
in the city, or anywhere else in the country? Not a man could point to one
anywhere.

The Phoenicians subdued all the cities in the Chersonese except Cardia. Miltiades son of Cimon son of Stesagoras was tyrant there. Miltiades son of Cypselus had gained the rule earlier in the following manner: the Thracian Dolonci held possession of this Chersonese. They were crushed in war by the Apsinthians, so they sent their kings to Delphi to inquire about the war.
The Pythia answered that they should bring to their land as founder the first man who offered them hospitality after they left the sacred precinct. But as the Dolonci passed through Phocis and Boeotia, going along the Sacred Way,“The Sacred Way seems to have led E. by Daulis, Panopeus, and Chaeronea, then S.E. by Coronea, Haliartus, and Thebes, then S. over Cithaeron to Eleusis, whence it was continued to Athens by the best-known o(do\s i(era/.” (How and Wells.) no one invited them, so they turned toward Athen
