ASCENT OF CYRUS.
BOOK II.
CHAPTER I.
1. How indeed then the Grecian farce was assembled by
Cyrus, when he moved with an army against his brother
Artaxerxes, and what things were done in the up-way, and
howr the battle took place, and how Cyrus died, and how
the Greeks coming to the camp, went to rest, thinking to
conquer all things, and Cyrus to be alive all these have
been shown in the former discourse.
2. But along with the day, the generals having come
together, wondered that Cyrus may not send any one about
to signify, whatever it behoves them to do, nor does he
himself appear. Therefore it seemed proper to them, having
packed up what they had, and having armed themselves, to
proceed in advance, until they might join with Cyrus.
3. But now they being in motion, along with the rising
sun came Procles, the commander of Teuthrania, being
descended from Damaratus the Lacedaemonian, and Glus,
the son of Tamos. These said, that Cyrus indeed has died;
but Ariseus having fled, was with the other barbarians in
the station whence they were moved on the former day
and that he said, that indeed he might wait for them that day,
if they are about to come : but on the next, he said, he should
depart for Ionia, whence he came.

4. Having heard these words, the generals and the other
Greeks learning, bore them heavily. But Clearchus spoke
these words: " But indeed Cyrus ought to be alive; [i. e. y
I wish Cyrus were alive ;] but since he has died, report
to Ariseus, that we at least conquer the king, and, as you
see, no one yet fights us ; and if you had not come, we
would have gone against the king. But we announce to
Ariseus, if he come hither, that we will seat him on the royal
throne : for it is of those conquering in battle also to rule."
5. Having said these words, he sends away the mes-
sengers, and with them Cherisophus, the Laconian, and
Menon, the Thessalian : for even Menon himself desired $,
for he was a friend and a guest of Ariaeus.
6. They indeed went away, but Clearchus waited there;
and the army procured food how they were able, from the
beasts of burden, cutting up the oxen and asses: and pro-
ceeding a little way from the phalanx, where the battle was,
they used for wood both the arrows, being many, (which the
Greeks compelled those deserting from the king to throw
down,) and the wicker shields, and the wooden shields of
the Egyptians, but also many targets, and waggons were
deserted to be drawn ; all which they using, in cooking, ate
flesh oft that day.
7. And now it was both about filling markeWiwe, and
heralds come from the king and Tissaphernes ; the others
indeed were barbarians, but one of them, Phalynus, was a
Greek, who happened to be with Tissaphernes, and being in
honor : for also he assumed to be of the skilful both about
the ranks and exercise of arms.
8. But these both having approached, and having called
the commanders of the Greeks, say that the king orders the
Greeks, since he happens to be victorious, and has killed
Cyrus, giving up the arms, and going to the doors of the
king, to find, if they can obtain any thing favorable,

9. The heralds of the king spoke indeed these words; but
the Greeks indeed heard grievously, but nevertheless
Clearchus spoke this much, that it is not of those conquering
to give up the arms: but you, indeed, said he, O men, gene-
rals, answer these words, whatever you have, fairest and
best, but I will come immediately: for stime one of the
servants called him, in order that he might see the sacred
things, having been taken out : for he happened to be sacri-
ficing.
10. And there Cleanor indeed, the Arcadian, being the
eldest, answered that he would die, sooner than he would
give up the arms, and Proxenus the Theban said, but I, O
Phalynus wonder, whether as conquering, the king asks the
arms, or as gifts through friendship. For if indeed as con-
quering, why does it behove him, having come to ask, and
not to take. But if having persuaded, he wishes to take, let
him say, what shall be to the soldiers, if they should grant
these to him.
11. To these words Phalynus said, the king thinks to
conquer, since he has killed Cyrus. For who is there who
contends against him, on account of power? But he even
thinks you to be his own, having you in the mid-region of
himself, and within impassable rivers : and being able to lead
against you a multitude of men, so great as you could not
kill, though he may give them to you.
12. After him Theopompus an Athenian said : " O
Phalynus, now no other thing good is to us, as thou seest,
if not arms and valor. And therefore, having indeed arms,
we think also to use valor : but giving up these that we
should also be deprived of our bodies. Think not then
that we will deliver up to you, the only good things existing
to us: but with these, even about your goods, we will fight.
13. But Phalynus hearing these words, laughed, and
said : " But indeed thou art like a philosopher, O young
man, and thou speakest not ungrateful things ; know,

however, being rash, if thou thinkest your valor would be
above the power of the king.
14. But they said that some others spoke, being rather
softened, as also they were faithful to Cyrus, and at least
would be worthy of much to the king, if he may wish to
become a friend : and whether in any other service, he may
wish to employ them whether to make war upon Egypt, they
would conquer it with him.
15. In this time also Clearchus came and asked, if now
they were answered. And Phalynus replying, said : These
indeed, O Clearchus [say,] one says one thing, (and
another says another,) but tell thou to us, what sayest thou.
16. And he said : I gladly have seen thee, O Phalynus,
[or, I am glad to see thee,] and also all these others ; for
thou art both a Greek, and we being so many as thou seest;
and being in such affairs, [we] consult thee, what it behoves
to do about what thou sayest.
17. Then, by the gods, do thou counsel us, whatever
appears to be fairest and best, and which related will bring
honor to thee in the time hereafter, that Phalynus, once
being sent from the king, about to order the Greeks to give
up their arms, advised them consulting these matters. And
thou knowest that there is a necessity for it to be told in
Greece what thou advisest.
18. And Clearchus suggested these things, wishing also
the one being ambassabor himself from the king, to advise
not to give up their arms, in order that the Greeks might be
more hopeful. And Phalynus turning back, spoke thus con-
trary to his expectation.
19. " If indeed, there is to you any one of the ten thousand
hopes, I advise you to be saved warring against the king, not
to give up the arms : but if there is no hope of safety, the
king being unwilling, I advise you to be saved whichever
way it is possible to you."

20. Bui Clearchus to these words said : " But on one
hand indeed, thou speakest these words: but, on the other,
report these from us, that we think, (if indeed it behoves us to
be friends to the king,) we hope lo be friends worthy of
more value having our arms, than having given them to
another ; but if it be necessary to war, that we shall war better,
having our arms, than having given them up to another."
21. And Phalynus said, Even these words indeed we
will report; but the king also ordered [us] to say these things
to you, that there may indeed be a truce to you remaining
there, but war [to you] advancing, and departing. Tell us
then also about this, whether you will remain, and a truce
exists, or as [from] war existing, I shall report from you.
22. But Clearchus said, Therefore report also about
these, that also the same seems proper to us which also
[seems proper] to the king. What then is that? said Phaly-
nus. Clearchus answered, If indeed we remain, treaties;
but [to its] departing and advancing, war.
23. And he again asked, Shall I report treaties or war?
And Clearchus again answered, Treaties indeed [to us]
remaining, but [to us] departing, or advancing war ! But
he did not signify what he would do.
CHAPTER II.
1. Phalynus indeed now went away, and those with him.
And those from Aria3us, Procles and Cherisophus, came :
(but Menon remained there with Ariseus:) and these re-
ported, that Ariseus says there are many Persians better
than himself that these would not bear him reigning : but
if you wish to go away together, he orders you to come now
[through] the night : but if not, he says that he will go away
early.
2. And Clearchus said, But it behoves us so to do, if

OR, THE ASCENT OP CYRUS. J2J
indeed we come, just as you say ; but if not, do whatever
thing you think mostly to benefit you. But he did not say
to them whatever he should do afterwards.
3. But after this, the sun now setting, having called to-
gether the generals and captains, he spoke such words:
To me, O men, sacrificing to go against the king, the victims
were not favorable. And with good cause, therefore, they
were not. For, as I now learn, between us and the king, is
the river Tigres, passable by ships, which we cannot go
through without ships : and we have Dot vessels. Not
indeed even here at least is it possible also to remain ; for it
is not possible to get provisions: but the sacrifices were
entirely fair for us to go to the friends of Cyrus.
4. Thus then it behoves us to do: it behoves us, de-
parting, to sup on whatever any one has; but when one may
signify with the horn, as if to rest, do you pack up: and
when the second horn sounds, put your baggage upon the
beasts of burden : and at the third, follow the one leading,
keeping indeed the beasts of burden close to the river, but
the arms outside.
5. The generals and the captains having heard these
words, went away, and did so: and thenceforth he indeed
commanded, and they obeyed, though not having elected him,
but seeing that he alone possessed mind, such as it behoves
the commander to have, but the others were inexperienced.
6. And the distance of the road which they came out
of Ephesus, of Ionia, until the battle, was three and ninety
stations parasangs, five and thirty and five hundred stadii.
fifty and six thousand and ten thousand ; and the stadii, from
the battle to Babylon, were said to be sixty and three
hundred.
7. From hence, at length, when darkness came on,
Miltocythes indeed, the Thracian, both having the horse-
men with himself to forty in number, and about three
hundred of the Thracians, infantry, deserted to the king,

8. And Clearchus led the others according to what had
been ordered and they followed : and they come to the first
station near Ariseus and his army about midnight : and
having placed their arms in order, the generals and the
captains of the Greeks came on together near Ariteus : and
both the Greeks, and Ariaeus, and the best of those with
him, swore not to betray each other, and to be allies : and
the barbarians swore in addition, and to lead on ua-
deceitfully.
9. And they swore these things, having slain a boar, and
a bull, and a wolf, and a ram, the Greeks indeed dipping
a sword into the shield, and the barbarians a lance.
10. And when these pledges were given, Clearchus said :
"Lead on, then, O Ariaeus, since there is the same expedi-
tion to us and to you ; say what opinion thou hast about
the march whether we depart the road by which we came,
or dost thou seem to have thought any other road
superior?"
11. And he said "If departing indeed by the way
which we came, we might all perish from hunger, for now
there is to us nothing of provision. For during the last
seventeen stations, coming hither, we had neither anything
to take out of the country: and if there was anything there,
we passing through consumed it. And we now intend,
indeed, to go a longer road, but one in which we shall not
want provisions.
12. " But we must go the first longest stations as we
may be able, so that we may be greatly removed from the
royal army: for if once we hold on the road two or three
days, not any more will the king be able to seize us, for
indeed he will not dare to follow after us, with a small
army; and having a large armament, he will not be able to
go on quickly; and perhaps he will also have a scarcity of
provisions ; I at least have this opinion," said he.
13. And this generalship was nothing else than being

able either to run away or to escape : but fortune led ws on
better. For when day came, they went on, having the sun
on the right, reckoning to come along with the setting sun
into some villages of the Babylonian region : and in this
indeed they were not deceived.
14. And yet about the afternoon, they seemed to sec
hostile horsemen; and both tfiose of the Greeks who hap-
pened not to be in their ranks, ran into the ranks, and
Aria?us, (for he happened to be going upon a waggon, be-
cause he had been wounded,) descending, armed himself
with a breast-plate, and those with him.
15. And while they were arming themselves, the scouts
sent forward, came saying, that they are not horsemen, but
beasts of burden were grazing. And immediately all knew,
that somewhere near, the king was encamped ; for also
smoke appeared in the villages not far off.
16. But Clearchus did not indeed lead against the enemy,
(for he knew the soldiers being both tired and fasting, and
now also it was late;) not, however, did he turn away,
guarding, lest he might seem to flee; but leading straight on,
along with the setting sun, at the first villages, having them
very near, he pitched his tent, from which even the very
wood itself out of the houses had been plundered by the
royal army.
17. Those first indeed then in some like manner en-
camped; and the last in the dark approaching, as every one
happened were quartered, and they made a great shout,
calling on one another; so that even the enemy heard; so
that those indeed of the enemy nearest also fled from their
encampments.
18. And this was evident on the following day, for
neither did any beast of burden more appear, nor camp, nor
smoke, anywhere nigh. And the king also was struck, as
it seemed, by the approach of the army ; and he showed this,
by what he did on the following day.

19. This night, however, passing on, fear also falls upon
the Greeks, and there was bustle and noise, such as is likely
to be from fear falling upon men.
20. But Clearchus ordered Tolmides, aq Elian, whom
he happened having with himself, the best herald of those at
that time him he ordered to proclaim silence, having com-
manded that the generals declare, whoever may discover the
one having let loose the ass among the arms, that he shall
receive as pay a talent of silver.
21. And when these things were proclaimed, the soldiers
knew that their fear was vain, and the commanders safe.
And together with dawn, Clearchus ordered the Greeks to
put their arms into rank, in which way they had them when
the battle was.
CHAPTER III.
1. And even from what I wrote, it was evident that the
king was struck with this approach ; for indeed on the day
before, sending, he ordered them to give up their arms ; but
then with the rising sun, he sent heralds about a treaty.
2. And when they came to the outguards, they sought
the commanders. And when the outguards reported Cle-
archus happening then to be inspecting the ranks, bade the
outguards order the heralds to wait until he should be at
leisure.
3. And when he had placed the army so as to have the
phalanx to be seen fairly close on every side, and that none
of the unarmed were visible, he called the messengers, and
he himself also came forward, having both the best armed,
and handsomest of his own soldiers, and he told the other
generals to do the same.

4. And when he was near the messengers, he asked
what they might want? And they said that they came as
men about a treaty, who shall be sufficient both to report
affairs to the Greeks from the king, and affairs from the
Greeks to the king.
5. And he (Clearchus) replied: "Report therefore to
him, that there is need of a battle first, for we are in want
of a dinner ; nor is there one about to dare to speak about a
truce to the Greeks, not having supplied a dinner."
6. The messengers having heard this, went away, and
came quickly back; (from which also it was evident that
the king, or some other one, was somewhere near, to whom
it had been ordered to do this ;) and they said, that they
seem reasonable things to speak to the king, and they may
come, having leaders, who shall lead them, if the truce take
place, whence they will have provisions.
7. And he (Clearchus) asked: "Whether he would
make a treaty for those men going and departing, or would
a treaty be also for the others?" And they said, " For all,
until affairs from you be announced to the king."
8. And when they said this, Clearchus having removed
them, deliberated ; and it seemed proper to make the treaty,
and quickly, and in silence, to go both for provisions, and to
take them.
9. And Clearchus said, ' This also indeed seems
proper to me : not, however, quickly at least will I report ;
but I will wait until the messengers may be uneasy, lest it
may not seem proper to us to make a treaty ; however, I
think at least," said he, ''that the same fear will also be
present to our own soldiers." But when it seemed to be
time, he announced, that he would make a treaty, and im-
mediately ordered them to lead on to provisions.
10. And they indeed led on; Clearchus, however, went,
being indeed about to make the truce, but having the army
in rank, and he himself also brought up the rear. And

they met with ditches and canals, full of water, so that they
were not able to go through without bridges ; but they made
passages out of the palm trees, which were fallen down,
and some also they cut down.
11. And there it was easy to observe Clearchus, as he
commanded, having indeed the spear in the left hand, and
a stick in the right: and if any one seemed to him, of those
appointed, to loiter, selecting the fit one, he would strike
him, and, at the same time, he himself plunging into the
mud, would lay hold ; so that it was a shame to all not to
act zealously with others.
12. And those indeed having become thirty years of age,
were ordered by him to thf. work ; but when they also saw
Clearchus acting with zeal, the older men also laid hold.
13. And Clearchus made haste much more, suspecting
the ditches to be not always so full of water, (for it was not
the season suitable to water the plain;) but, that now many
things might appear terrible to the Greeks in the march, on
account of this, he suspected the lung to have let out the
water upon the plain.
14. And proceeding, they came into some villages,
whence the leaders declared they should obtain provisions.
And much corn was there, and wine of palm-trees, and
vinegar cooked from the same.
15. And the very acorns of the palm trees, such indeed
it is possible to see among the Greeks, were laid by for the
domestics ; but those laid by for the masters, were chosen,
wonderful in beauty and in magnitude, and their appearance
differed nothing from amber; and some drying these, laid
them by as sweetmeats, and the liquor also from them was
sweet indeed, but causing headach.
16. There also the soldiers first ate the pith of the palm
tree, and most admired both its appearance, and the pecu-
liarity of its flavor; but this also was exceedingly apt to
give headach. And the palm tree whence the pith was
taken out, withered entirely. v

17. And there they remained three days; and Tissa-
phernes came from the great king, and the brother of the
wife of the king, and three other Persians; and many
servants followed. And when the generals of the Greeks
met them, Tissaphernes first spoke such words through an
interpreter :
18. " I, oh ! Grecian men, live a neighbor to Greece ;
and when I saw you having fallen into many evils, and
without resource, I contrived an invention if somehow I
might be able to beg from the king to grant me to conduct
you safely into Greece. For I think to have it not ungrate-
fully to rne, neither from you nor from all Greece ;" (i. e.,
I think that I shall receive thanks not only from you, but
from all Greece.)
19. "And knowing this, I begged the king, saying to
him, that he would justly gratify me, because I first an-
nounced Cyrus both making war against him, and at the
same time, having help, I came with the intelligence : and I
alone of those arranged against the Greeks did not flee, but
I drove through, and joined with the king in your camp,
whither the king came when he killed Cyrus. And I pur-
sued those barbarians with Cyrus with those now present
with me, who are most faithful to him.
20. "And he indeed promised me to deliberate about
this ; and he desired me, having come, to ask you on what
account you moved with an army against him. And I ad-
vise you to answer moderately, that it may be more feasible
to me, if I may be able to accomplish any good to you
from him."
21. At this, the Greeks having withdrawn, did delibe-
rate, and answered, and Clearchus said : " We neither
came together, as about to make war upon the king, nor
did we go against the king; but Cyrus found many pretences,
(as thou also hast known well,) that he might both take you
unprepared, and might lead us hither.

22. " When, however, we now saw him being in an
awful state, we were ashamed, before both gods and men, to
betray him, affording ourselves on a former period to be
well treated by him.
28. " But since Cyrus hath perished, we neither contend
against the king for the sovereignty, nor is there any reason,
on account of which we may wish to treat badly the country
of the king; nor would we wish to kill him; but we would
go home, if any one do not molest us; however, we will try,
with the gods, to ward off one injuring its: if, however, any
one also begin treating us well, even for this, we treating
him well, shall not be overcome, at least, for our ability."
He indeed thus spoke.
24. And Tissaphernes having heard, said " I will report
these words to the king, and again report to you those from
him ; but let the truce remain, until I come, and we will
afford a market.."
25. And indeed on the next day he did not come, so
that the Greeks took care; but on the third coming, he said,
that he comes, having accomplished with the king, that it
be granted to him to save the Greeks, although many op-
posing it, that it would not be becoming the king to let go
those warring against him.
26. And in the end, he said "And now it is permitted
you to receive pledges from us, that we indeed will afford a
friendly country to you ; and affording a market, will lead
you away without treachery into Greece. And wherever
we do not provide a market, we will permit you to take pro-
vision out of the place.
27. "And again it will behove you to swear to us, that
you will indeed go harmlessly as through a friendly country,
taking food and drink, whenever we do not afford a market,
but, if we afford a market, that you buying, shall have pro-

28. These conditions seemed proper ; and they swore,
and Tissaphernes, and the brother of the wife f the king,
gave right hands to the generals of the Greeks and to the
captains, and they received from the Greeks right hands in
return.
29. And after this, Tissaphernes, said " Even now
indeed I depart to the king, and after I shall have accom-
plished what I desire, having packed up, I will come as
about to lead you away into Greece, and I myself departing
to my own principality.
CHAPTER IV.
1. After this, both the Greeks and Ariseus waited for
Tissaphernes, having encamped near each other more than
twenty days; and in those days, both the brothers and other
relations come to Ariseus, and some of the Persians to those
with him ; both encouraging, and some bringing right hands
(i. e., pledges) from the king, [saying,] that the king will
not remember to them the injuries of their expedition with
Cyrus, nor any other one of those passing by.
2. And these things taking place, those about Arisus
were less manifest applying their mind to the Greeks ; so
that this also did not indeed please most of the Greeks,
but approaching, they said to Clearchus and the other
generals:
3. " Why do we remain ? Do we not really know that
the king would endeavor, beyond everything, to destroy us?
that fear also may be to the other Greeks to make war
against the king ? And now indeed he induces us to remain,
through this, that his army has been dispersed : but when
an army shall be collected for him again, it is not possible
how he will not set upon us.

4. " And perhaps somewhere he either digs some ditch.,
or fortifies some place, that the road may be impassable. For
he will never at least willingly desire us, having come into
Greece, to report that we being thus many, conquered the
army of the king at his own door; and deriding him, came
away.
5. And Clearchus answered those speaking these things:
" I indeed also think on all these things ; but I consider that
if we now depart, we shall seem to depart for war, and to
act contrary to the truce. Moreover first indeed no one
will afford us a market, nor whence we shall get provisions ;
and again there will be no one about to lead us; and at the
same time, we doing these things, Araeus will immediately
keep away from us; so that no friend shall be left to us;
but even those being so, formerly will be enemies to us.
6. " But if indeed any other river therefore is also to be
crossed by us, I know not; but then we know the Euphrates
that it is impossible to go through it, the enemy hindering
us. Not indeed even, if it be necessary to fight, are horses
as allies to us; but the horsemen of the enemy are the most
numerous, and worthy of much praise ; so that conquering,
indeed, whom could we kill? And indeed I think that
no one of us being conquered, even able to be saved."
7. Then indeed as to the king, to whom the allies are so
many, if he is eager to destroy us, I do not know whatever
it behoves him to swear, and to give his right hand, and to
call the gods to witness a falsehood, and to make to the
Greeks and barbarians the pledges of himself, not to be
trusted." He said many such things.
8. And at this time Tissaphernes came, having his own
force, as departing to his home ; and Orontas, having his
" force, and he also led a daughter of the king to marriage.
9. And from thence, Tissaphernes now leading on, and
affording a market, they went on : and Ariseus also went on,
having the barbaric army of Cyrus, together with Tissa-
phernes and Orontas, and encamped together with, them.

10. But the Greeks suspecting them, went on themselves,
by themselves, having their leaders. And they encamped
always holding away a parasang and less from each other,
and they both guarded against each other as enemies, and
immediately this afforded a suspicion.
11. And sometimes also gathering wood out of the same
place, and collecting grass and other such things, they gave
blows to each other, so that this also afforded enmity.
12. And having gone through three stations, they came
to the wall, called "the wall of Media," and they passed
withio it ; and it was built with baked bricks, lying in bitu-
men, of twenty feet in breadth, and in height a hundred,
and the length was said to be that of twenty parasangs, and
it was distant not far from Babylon.
13. And thence they went on two stations, eight para-
sangs, and they went through two canals, the one indeed
upon a bridge, and the other having been joined with seven
vessels ; (and these were from the river Tigris, and from
them ditches also had been cut in the place, the first
indeed large, and afterwards less : and at last even little
channels, as in Greece, upon the panic fields ;) and they
come to the river Tigris, near to which was a large and
populous city, the name to which was Sitace, distant from
the river fifteen stadii.
14. Then indeed the Greeks encamped near it, near a
park beautiful and large, and thick with various trees ; but
the barbarians having gone through the Tigris, were not,
however, visible.
15. And after supper, Proxenus and Xenophon hap-
pened being in a walk before the arms, and a certain man
approaching, asked the outguards, where he might see Prox-
enus or Clearchus ; but he did not ask for Menon ; and this,
too, though being from Ariseus, the guest of Menon.

16. And when Proxenus said that, "I am he whom thou
seekest," the man spoke these words : " Ariseus sent me
and Arta^zas, being faithful to Cyrus, and kindly disposed
to you ; and they order you to guard, lest the barbarians
may set upon you during the night ; and there is a large
army in the park, near.
17. "And upon the bridge of the river Tigris they order
you to send a guard, as Tissaphernes designs to break it
down by night, if he can, that you may not go through, but
be taken between the river and the canal."
18. Having heard this, they lead him to Clearchus, and
they tell what he says ; and Clearchus having heard, was
disturbed and feared vehemently.
19. And a certain young man of those present having
considered, said : " That to make an attack, and to break
down the bridge, would not be a consequent; for it is evi-
dent, that it will behove them making an attack, either to
conquer, or to be conquered. If indeed then they conquer,
why does it behove them to break down the bridge? for
neither if there be many bridges, may we have whither
fleeing we can be saved.
20. " And if again we conquer, the bridge having been
broken, they will not have whither they may flee; nor
indeed will one be able of the many being beyond, to assist
them, the bridge having been broken down."
21. And Clearchus having heard this, asked the mes-
senger, how great may be the region, that is between the
Tigris and the canal. And the man said that it is great,
and there are many and large villages and cities.
22. And even then it was known, that the barbarians,
being reluctant, secretly sent the man, lest the Greeks, not
having gone over the bridge, may remain in the island,
having fortifications, on one side indeed, the river, and on
the other, the canal ; and may have provisions from the

region, in the middle, being extensive and good, and those
residing in it being about to work it; and then also it
would be a refuge, if any may wish to annoy the king.
23. And after this, they went to rest: upon the bridge,
however, they nevertheless sent a guard : and neither did
any one from any place set on them, nor did any one of the
enemy come to the bridge, as those guarding reported.
24. And when morning came, they went over the bridge,
being joined with thirty and seven vessels, and most guard-
edly as it was possible : for some of the Greeks from Tissa-
phernes reported, that they may be about to attack them,
passing over ; but this indeed was false ; they passing over,
however, Glus. with others, appeared to them, looking on,
if they may pass over the river ; and when he saw them
passed over, he went away driving on.
25. And from the Tigrcs then went on four stations,
twenty parasangs, to the river Physcus, the breadth of a
plethrum ; and a bridge was over it. And there was in-
habited a large city, to which was the name Opis : near
which the bastard brother of Cyrus and of Artaxerxes met
the Greeks, leading a great army from Susa and Ecbatana,
as about to help the king ; and having halted the army of
himself, he viewed the Greeks passing by.
26. And Clearchus led on indeed in two abreast, and
at one time he went on, and at another standing. And as
long a time as the leading of the army halted, so long a
time was there a necessity for a halt to be made through the
whole army; so that the army seemed also to the Greeks
themselves to be very large, and that the Persian had been
astonished viewing it.
27. And thence they proceeded through Media six
desert stations, thirty parasangs, to the villages of Parysa-
tis, the mother of Cyrus and of the king. Tissaphernes,

scoffing Cyrus, permitted the Greeks to plunder these,
except the slaves. And there was in them much corn, and
many sheep, and other things.
28. And thence they went on five desert stations, twenty
parasangs, having the river Tigres on the left. And in the
first station, beyond the river was inhabited, a city large and
prosperous, CfEiiae, as to name, from which the barbarians
brought on leathern rafts, bread, cheeses, wine.
CHAPTER V.
1. After this, they come to the river Zabatus, the breadth
of four plethra. And there they remained three days: and
in these days tlvere were suspicions indeed, bnt no plot ap-
pear d visible.
2. It seemed proper then to Clearchus to meet with
Tissaphernes, and if somehow he may be able, to stop the
suspicions before war arise from them : and he sent one
about to say, that he may want to meet with him, and he
readily ordered him to come.
3. And when they came together, Clearchus speaks
these ivords : " I know O Tissaphernes, that oaths indeed
have been taken Hby us, and right hands given, not to injure
each other : but I see thee watching us as enemies.
4. But when looking closely, I am able neither to per-
ceive thee trying to treat us badly in anything, and I clearly
know that we at least neither intend anything such, it
seemed proper to me to come to conversation with, thee, how,
ii we may be able, we might remove the distrust of each
other.
5. " For I also now know men, some indeed out of
calumny, and also some from suspicion, who fearing each
other, wishing to be beforehand, before they suffered, did
incurable evils to those neither being about, nor wishing to
do any such thing.

6. " Thinking, therefore, such misunderstandings would
best cease by conversation, I come and I wish to inform
thee, that thou dost not rightly distrust us.
7. " For the first indeed and greatest thing is, the oaths
of the gods hinder us to be hostile to each other, and who-
ever is conscious to himself, as having disregarded these,
that man t never would deem happy. For as to a war with the
gods, I know not, neither with what speed, nor whither any
one fleeing, could escape, nor into what darkness he might
run, nor how he might withdraw into a secure place; for all
things in every way are subject to the gods, and on every
side the gods govern all equally.
8. " Even indeed about the gods, and also the oaths, I
thus know, with whom we establishing a friendship, have
deposited it, and of human affairs, I at least think thee in the
present affair, to be the greatest good to us.
9. " For indeed with thee, all the road indeed to us is
easy, and every river passable, and there is not a want of
provisions: but without thee, all the road indeed is through
darkness, (for we know nothing of it,) and every river diffi-
cult to pass; and every multitude is terrible, and solitude
most terrible, for it is full of much difficulty.
10. "And even if we also being mad, might kill thee,
what other thing will it be, than, having slain our benefactor,
we may contend against the king, the great avenger? and
even I will mention this, of how great hopes also I should
deprive myself, if I should attempt to do any evil to thee.
11. " For I desired Cyrus to be a friend to me, thinking
him of those then in life to be most efficient to benefit any,
whom he might wish. But now I see thee having both the
power of Cyrus, and territory, and retaining thy own prin-
cipality, and the power of the king, this being au ally to
thee, which power Cyrus experienced hostile.
12. "And these things being such, who is so mad, who
wishes not to be a friend to thee ] But indeed, for I also

will say this, (from which I have hopes, that thou also wilt
wish to be a friend to us.)
13. " For indeed I know of the Mysians being trouble-
some to you, whom I may hope with my present force to
render submissive to you : and I also know of the Pisidians:
and I also hear that there are many other such nations,
which I think to make to cease always troubling your hap-
piness. And as to the Egyptians, against whom especially
I know you now to be enraged, I do not see what power as
ally you using would better chastise with, than the one being
now with me.
14. " But indeed among those at least inhabiting around,
if thou indeed wish to be a friend to some one, thou mayest
be a very great one : and if any one may molest thee as a
master, thou mayest subdue, having us thy servants, who
would not only serve thee on account of pay, but even for
the favor which we being saved under thee would justly have
for thee.
15. " To me indeed thinking upon all these things, it
appears to be so wonderful far thee to distrust us, so that
also I might pleasantly hear the name of him who is so
powerful to speak, so as in speaking, to persuade thee that
we plot against thee." Clearchus indeed then spoke such
things, and thus Tissaphernes answered .
16. " But I am indeed delighted, O Clearchus, hearing
intelligent words from thee: for knowing this, if thou wish
any evil to me, thou seemest to me to be also evil-minded to
thyself. But as thou shouldst learn that you neither justly
would distrust the king nor me, hear in thy turn.
17. " For if we wished to destroy you, whether do we
seem to thee to be in want of a multitude of horsemen, or of
infantry, or of armor, in which we may be able indeed to
injure you, but no danger to suffer in return ?
18. " But do we appear to thee to be in want of suitable
places to attack you 1 Do you not with much labor indeed

pass through so many plains being friendly to us, and you see
so many mountains being to be passed by you, which it is
permitted us, seizing them previously, to render impassable
to you ? but there are so many rivers, at which it is per-
mitted us to parcel out however many of you we may wish
to fight ? And there are of them, which you could not
cross at all, unless we may convey you over.
19. " But if in all these we are conquered, but at least
the fire is greater than the fruit: which we, having burnt
down, may be able tq> oppose famine to you, which you,
neither if you may be very brave, may be able to fight.
20. " How then can it be, having so many ways to
make war against you, and that no one of these [is] dangerous
to us, moreover out of all these, we may choose the mode,
which only indeed is impious before gods, and alone base
before men.
21. "But it is altogether of those destitute, and without
resource, and held by necessity, and of those wretched,
whoever are willing to do anything by perjury, both towards
gods, and infidelity towards men. Not so are we, O
Clearchus, nor are we silly, nor inconsiderate.
22. "But why even, it being in our power to destroy
you, did we not come upon this? Know well, that my love
is the cause of this, that for this I shall be faithful to the
Greeks, and to which foreign force Cyrus trusting through
pay-giving, went up, that I came down strong in this through
beneficence.
23. " And as to what you will be useful to me, these
thou indeed also hast mentioned, but I know the greatest :
for indeed it is permitted to the king alone to have the turban
upright upon the head, but perhaps, you being present, even
another easily may have it upon the heart."
24. Having spoken these words, he seemed to Clearchus
to speak truth; and he said "Such things being neces-
sary to us for friendship, are not then tJiose worthy

to suffer the utmost severity, who traducing, try to make us
enemies.
25. "And I indeed," said. Tissaphernes, " if you wish,
both the generals, and the captains, to come to me in a
public manner, I will tell of those saying to me, that thou
plottest against both me, and the army with me."
26. "And I," said Clearchus, "will bring all, and, in
turn, I will show to thee whence I hear about thee."
27. After these words, Tissaphernes even then indeed
showing kindness, both desired him to remain, and made
him a supper-companion, and on the next day, Clearchus
having come to the camp, was both entirely apparent think-
ing to be situated in a friendly manner with Tissaphernes,
and told what he reported : he said also that it behoved those
to go to Tissaphernes whom he ordered, and -whoever of the
Greeks should be convicted traducing, that it behoves them
as being traitors and evil-minded to the Greeks, to be
punished.
28. And he suspected Menon to be the one traducing,
knowing him also having been with Tissaphernes along with
Ariseus, and opposing him, and plotting against him, how,
getting all the army to himself, he may be a friend to Tissa-
phernes.
29. And Clearchus also wished all the army to have
their attention for himself, and those vexing him to be out of
the way. And some of the soldiers opposed him that all the
captains and generals should not go, nor trust to Tissa-
phernes.
30. But Clearchus contended strongly, until indeed he
prevailed on five generals and twenty captains to go, and
also about two hundred of the other soldiers followed to-
gether, as if to market.
31. And when they were at the door of Tissaphernes, the
generals indeed were invited in, Proxenus, a Boeotian, Menon,

Thessalian, Agias, an Arcadian, Clearchus, a Laconian,
Socrates, an Achaean ; but the captains remained at the
door.
32. And in not much time after from the same signal,
both those within were seized, and those without were cut
down. And after this, some of the barbarian horsemen
scouring through the plain, killed all, whatever Greek they
met, either slave or free.
33. And the Greeks looking out from the camp, won-
dered at both the riding of them, and doubted, what they
were doing, before Nicarchus, an Arcadian, came fleeing,
having been wounded in the belly, and holding the entrails
in the hands, and related all that had occurred.
34. After this, therefor, the Greeks ran to their arms,
all having been struck, and thinking they would come im-
mediately to the camp.
35. But they came not indeed all, but Ariaeus, and Ar-
taozus, and Mithridates, who were most faithful to Cyrus:
and the interpreter of the Greeks said also that he saw the
brother of Tissaphernes with them, and that he knew him :
and also others of the Persians, armed with cuirasses, to
three hundred, followed them.
36. When these were near, if there may be any of the
Greeks, either general or captain, they desired him to
approach, that they should report affairs from the king.
37. With this there came forth of the Greeks, watchful
indeed, the Generals Cleanor, an Orchomenian, and Sopha?-
netus, a Stymphalian, and with them Xenophon, an Athe-
nian, that he might learn affairs about Proxenus, (And
Cheirisophus happened being absent in some village with
others getting provision.)
38. And when they stood within hearing, Ariseus
says : " Clearchus indeed, O Greeks, since he has appeared
both swearing falsely and breaking the treaty, has been
punished and has died : but Proxenus and Menon, because

OR, THE ASCENT OF CYRUS. J5Q
they denounced his plot, are in great honor : but the king
demands of you the arms : for he says that they are his,
since they were those of Cyrus his servant.
39. To this the Greeks answered, (and Cleanor, the Orcho-
menian, said,) O Ariaeus, worst of men, and the others, as
many as were friends of Cyrus, respect you neither gods nor
men, who having sworn to think the same friends and ene-
mies to us, betraying us, with Tissaphernes helping you, both
the most godless, and most crafty, have thus destroyed both the
very men, to whom you swore, and having betrayed us the
others, you come upon us with our enemies.
40. And Ariseus said : for Clearchus was visible before
plotting against both Tissaphernes and Orontas, and all us
who are with them.
41. And upon this, Xenophon said these words : Clear-
chus indeed therefor, if, contrary to the oaths, he has
broken the treaty, suffers punishment : (for it is just that
those swearing falsely, perish.) But since Proxenus and
Menon are your benefactors indeed, but our generals, send
them hither : for it is evident, that, at least being friends to
both, they will try to advise the best things, both to you and
to us."
42. In regard to these tilings, the barbarians, having
conversed a long time with each other, went away, having
answered nothing.
CHAPTER VI.
1. Even the generals indeed being thus taken, were led
up to the king, and being cut off [as to their] heads,
perished ? one of them indeed, Clearchus, by the consent of
all those having any experience of him, appearing to have
been a man both extremely warlike and fond of war.

2. For even also, whilst indeed iliere was war to the
Lacedaemonians with the Athenians, he remained near: but
when peace came, having persuaded his own qity that the
Thracians injure the Greeks, and having accomplished as
he was able with the Ephori, he sailed away as about to make
war on the Thracians above the Chersonese, and Perinthus.
3. But when the Ephori somehow having changed their
mind, he now being away, tried to bring him back from the
Isthmus, there no more is he persuaded, but he went away
sailing to the Hellespont.
4. And from this he was condemned to die by the digni-
ties [i.e., chief magistrates] in Sparta, as being disobedient.
But now being a fugitive, he comes to Cyrus, and it has been
said elsewhere with what words indeed he persuaded Cyrus.
But Cyrus gives to him ten thousand dories.
5. And he having taken it, turned not to indolencej but
with this money having collected an army, he made war
upon the Thracians, and both conquered them in battle, and
from that time plundered and wasted them ; and he con-
tinued making war till what time Cyrus had need of his
army: and then he went away, as with him again about to
make war.
6. These then seem to be the actions of a man fond of
war, who, it being permitted indeed to lead peace (i. e., to
live in peace) without shame and harm, chooses to make
war : and it being permitted to have wealth without danger,
chooses, by making war, to make it less. And he was
willing to spend on war, just as on amours, or on any other
pleasure : to such a degree indeed therefor was he fond of
war.
7. And again he seemed to be warlike in this way, that
he was both fond of danger, and by day and night leading
on against the enemy, and prudent in terrible affairs^ as all
being present, everywhere agreed.

8. And he was said also to be fit to rule, as it was pos-
sible from such a manner as he also had. For indeed he
\\.-is sufficient to take care as even any other, how his army
shall have provisions, and to prepare them : and also com-
petent to impress those present, that obedience must be given
to Clearchus.
9. And he effected this from being severe. For also
he was stern to behold: and rough in the voice: and
always chastised rigorously, and sometimes in anger, so that
it even repented him, it is when \i. e., occasionally.] And
he also chastised from principle: for he thought the utility
of an army unpunished to be nothing.
10. But they also reported him to say, that it behoves
the soldier to fear the commander more than the enemy, if
he is about either to keep guard, or to hold off from friends,
or promptly to go against the enemy.
11. Therefore in awful affairs indeed the soldiers were
very willing to obey him, and did not seek another. For
they also declared his sternness in the face then to appear
cheerful, and his surliness seemed to be powerful against the
enemy : so that it appeared salutary, and no more surly.
12. But when they were without danger, and it was
permitted to go to other chiefs, many left him : for he
had not an agreeable manner , but was always harsh and
severe: so that the soldiers were towards him, just as boys
towards a teacher.
13. And therefore he never indeed had them following
him from friendship, and good will : but whoever having
been ordered either by the state, or being held by some need,
or some other necessity, obeyed him, whom he experienced
very submissive.
14. And also when they began to conquer the enemy

with him, there were now some things great, causing the
soldiers with him to be useful ; for both the having themselves
boldly against the enemy was present, and the dreading of
punishment from him made them orderly.
15. Even such indeed was he as a commander ; but he
was said not to be very willing to be commanded by others.
And he was, when he died, about fifty years of age.
16. And Proxenus, the Boeotian, being indeed a youth,
forthwith desired to be a man competent to do great things;
and through this desire, he gave money to Gorgias, the
Leontian.
17. And when he was with him, thinking now to be
competent also to command, and being a friend to chief men,
not to be conquered conferring benefits, he came into those
actions with Cyrus: and he expected to acquire from these
a great name, and great power, and much wealth.
18. And desiring these, he had it also again very evident,
that he wished to acquire none of these with injustice, but
with justice and honor he thought he ought to obtain these,
but not, without them.
19. And he was able indeed to command honorable and
good men ; not however sufficient to impress upon the soldiers
a respect of himself nor fear, but he even stood more in awe
of the soldiers, than those commanded stood in awe of him ;
and more afraid was he evident to incur the hatred of the
soldiers, than the soldiers the distrusting of him.
20. And he thought to be, and to seem to suffice for
capability in ruling, to praise the one indeed doing well, but
not to praise the one injuring. Wherefor the honorable
indeed and good of those with him, were well disposed to
him, but the unjust plotted against him, as being easy to be
managed. And when he died, he was almost of thirty
years.

21. And Menon, the Thessalian, was apparent desiring
indeed greatly to be rich, but desiring to rule, that he may
acquire more: and desiring to be honored, that he may gain
more : he wished also to be a friend to those being able to do
the most, that injuring, he might not suffer punishment.
'22. And for the effecting of what he desired, he thought
the shortest road to be both through false swearing, and de-
ceiving and imposing, but thought both integrity and truth
to be the same with folly.
23. And he was visible indeed loving no one, but to
whomsover he professed to be a friend, he was manifest
plotting against him. And he derided no enemy indeed, but
always talked as deriding all those being with him.
24. And he did not indeed plot against the possessions
of the enemy; (for he thought & to be difficult to take the
property of those guarding ;) but he alone thought he
knew that it is easy to take the property of friends as un-
guarded.
25. And those whom indeed he perceived perjured and
unjust, he feared as well armed ; but he tried to use the holy,
and tiwse exercising truth, as unmanly.
26. And just as any one delights in_piety, and in truth
and justice, so Menon delighted in being able to deceive, in
framing lies, in mocking friends ; and he thought the man
not crafty, to be of the uninstructed. And with whom indeed
he attempted to be first in friendship, he thought that he
ought to acquire these by traducing the first.
27. And he contrived to render the soldiers obedient
from injuring along with them. And he expected to be
honored and to be attended, showing, that he may be able and
may be willing to injure the most. And he reckoned it a
good deed, when any one withdrew from him, that having
made use of him he had not destroyed him.

28. And indeed even as to things invisible, it is permitted to
be deceived about him ; but these are things which all know.
With Aristippus indeed being yet in the prime of life, he
obtained to command the foreigners ; and being yet in his
prime, he was most intimate with Ariseus, being a barbarian,
because he delighted in beautiful youths ; and he himself
being beardless, had Tharypas, a full-grown man, in
amours.
.
29. And his fellow-officers dying, because with Cyrus
they made war against the king, though having done the
same, he did not die then; but after the death of the other
generals, being punished by the king, he died ; not as
Clearchus and the other, being cut off as to their heads,
(which seems to be the speediest death,) but living a year
being treated indignantly, as wretched, he is said to have
met his end.
30. But Agias, the Arcadian, and Socrates, th3 Achaean,
these two also died; but not did any one deride these as
cowardly in battle, nor blamed them with regard to friend-
ship ; and they were both about forty years of age from their
birth.

OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS.
ORATION I.
1. O ! Athenians, I think you would prefer instead of
much wealth, if this, about which you deliberate now, about
to be useful to the city, were made evident.
2. Since then this is so, it behoves you to be willing to
hear eagerly those wishing to counsel you. For, if any one
come, having thought on any thing useful, having heard it,
not only would you receive this ; but even I regard as an
effect of your fortune, many of these things necessary would
come immediately to some to say, so that the choice of the
useful would become easy to you out of all counsels.
3. Then, O Athenians, the present time indeed putting
forth a voice, almost says, that there is to yourselves a
seizing of those things, (i. e., you must lay hold of these
affairs yourselves,) if at all you are concerned for the safety
of yourselves. But I do not know what disposition we
appear to me to have with regard to them. Now these are
the things appearing proper to me, on one hand to decree
immediately assistance, and to prepare, (in the way) the most
speedy, that you may help from this city, and that you may
not suffer the same which you suffered also before : but that
you send an embassy which will declare these things, and
shall attend to these affairs : as this fear is especially that hf

being an enterprising man, and powerful to make use of
affairs, yielding indeed in some things when he may meet
them, and threatening [in] some things, (but he would ap-
pear justly faith-worthy in his threats,) but in some things
accusing us and our absence, lest he turn away, and draw
to himself something of all the affairs of Greece.
4. But opportunely, Athenians, that, which is the most
formidable of the affairs of Philip, is also the best for you.
For that he being one is master of all, both of things spoken,
and not spoken, and, at the same time, general, and sove-
reign, and umpire, and is present himself everywhere with
the army, contributes much indeed to executing promptly, and
in time, the affairs of the war, but he is in opposition to the
reconciliation which he being pleased would make with the
Olynthians: for it is evident to the Olynthiant. that now they
war not for glory, nor for a portion of country, but about
the ruin and enslavement of the country; and they know
what he did to those of the Amphipolitans. giving up the
city to him, and to those of the Pydnians having received
him : and royalty is a [thing], I think, generally suspicious
to republics, and especially if also they have a neighboring
country.
5. Then I say that it behoves you, O Athenians, know-
ing this, and thinking on all the other matters- which it be-
comes you, to be willing, and to be stirred up, and to apply to
the war, and now, if ever, contributing money eagerly, and
going out to jight yourselves, and omitting nothing. For
neither reason nor pretence of not wishing to do the things
necessary is any longer left to you.
6. For what you all would say, that it is necessary to
incite to war the Olynthians against Philip, has happened of
itself, and these things have happened that they may especially

aid you. For indeed if being persuaded by you they had
undertaken the war, they would perhaps be allies unsafe,
and having thought of these things until a certain \time\;
but since they hate him on account of his criminations
against them, it is likely that they have a steadfast hatred
for what they dread, and have suffered.
7. Surely, oh ! Athenians, it does not behove you to let
slip such an occasion happening, nor to suffer the same
thing, which already you have suffered often before. For if
when we came, having assisted the Eubteans, and when
Hierax and Stratocles, deputies of the Amphipolitans, came
to this tribunal, ordering yon to set sail and to take their city
under you, had we displayed also for ourselves the same
ardor, which we displayed for the safety of the Euboeans,
you would then have Amphipolis, and you would be de-
livered from all those affairs after these: and again when
Pydna, Potidse, Methone, and PagasaB, and other places,
(that I may not detain you mentioning them one by one,)
were announced being besieged,, if then we ourselves had
assisted one of these cities, the first attacked eagerly, and as
it became us, we would now find Philip more easy, and
much more humble. But now indeed always abandoning
the present, but thinking things about to be of themselves
favorable, we have both aggrandized Philip, O Athenians,
and we have made him so great, such as never any king of
Macedonia has been.
8. But now an occasion comes : What is it ? This,
that of the Olynthians to the city, of its own accord, which
is less than any one of those before. And any one would
appear to me indeed, being established a just calculator of
things granted to us from the the gods, O! Athenians,
although many things not being as it behoves them
to be, yet that they have great gratitude to them with
reason. For indeed any one will justly attribute from our
negligence the having lost many things during the war :

but I indeed would place as a good deed of benevolence
from them the not having suffered this for a long time, and
the having shown to us a certain alliance capable of repair-
ing those evils, if we wish to make use of them. But I think
that what is also about the possession of riches is similar.
For indeed if any one preserve also what things he has re-
ceived, he has great gratitude for fortune; but if he dissipate
them unknowingly, he dissipates also the remembering of
gratitude to fortune. [It ] thus also about affairs. Some
men not rightly having made use of opportunities, neither re-
member if anything useful has happened from the gods: for
every thing of those preceding is judged for the most part
according to the thing happening last. Wherefore also it
behoves you, O ! Athenians, to think strongly of things re-
maining, that having redressed these affairs, we may efface
the dishonor on those things done.
9. But if, O ! Athenians, we also abandon these men if
he subjects Olynthus let any one tell me what will be the
tfiing still hindering him to march where he wishes? Now
does any one of you, O ! Athenians, reflect and consider the
manner by which Philip being weak at the beginning, be-
came great ? First, having taken Amphipolis, after that,
Pydna, afterwards, Potidea, then, Mythone, then, he in-
vaded Thessaly : after that, having disposed of Pheres, and
Pagasy, and Magnesia, [in] every way which he wished, he
went away into Thrace, then there, on one hand, having
driven away some [of the kings,]and, on the other, having
placed upon the throne others of the kings, he became sick ;
having again become well, he did not incline to idleness, but
immediately attacked the Olynthians ; but I pass over his
expeditions against the Iliyrians and the Peonians, and
against Arymbas, and wherever any one might say.
"Why, then," some one may say, " sayest thou these
things now to us?" It is, that you may know, O Athe-
nians, and perceive both affairs, and how the abandoning

always one by one any one of the affairs [is] injurious, and
the mad ambition which Philip makes use of, and with which
he lives towards all, from which there is not a way how
being content with things done, he shall have rest. But if,
indeed, he shall be thoughtful, as it behoves always, to do
something greater than the present, and i/"we think that we
must perform no one of our affairs with ardor, consider if
any hope is ever to terminate these : by the gods, who is
there of you so simple, who does not know that the war is
about to come from thence hither, if we take not care ? But
yet if this happen, I fear, O ! Athenians, lest in the same
manner as those lending and abounding easily in interest
great for a little while, afterwards are deprived even of
their old property, so also I fear lest we appear idle at much
expense, and seeking all things for pleasure, I fear that at
last we may come to a necessity of doing many things and
troublesome, which we would not wish to do, and I fear that
we would risk danger about property in the country itself.
10. Now then, some one will say, perhaps, that to blame
is more easy, and in the power of every man, but to discover
respecting present affairs, what becomes us to do that this
is Hue part of an adviser. But I, O ! Athenians, am not
ignorant of this, that often you treat in anger those not
guilty, but the latter having spoken about affairs, if anything
happen not according to your expectation. Not, however,
do I think, at least, that it behoves one considering the
private safety, to dissemble about what things I think to be
useful to you. I say then that there is to you a necessity in
two ways to bring help to your affairs, both by saving the
towns to the Olynthians, and sending some soldiers about to
do that ; and by treating his country badly, both by triremes,
and by other soldiers.

11. But if you neglect one of these, I fear lest the expe-
dition may become useless to us, for if you treating his
country badly, he suffering this, will subject Olyn.hus,
having gone to his own country he will easily defend it: if
you having given help only to Olynthus, seeing his affairs
at home being without danger, he will encamp near, and
attend to his affairs, and will reduce, in time, the beseiged.
It behoves then assistance to be great and two-fold.
12. And indeed I think these things, regarding assist-
ance. But about the supply of money ; there is money to
you, O Athenians, there are military funds to you, which
are to no one of other men. But you take this money
thus as you wish. Then in truth if you pay this
money to those warring, there is need to you of no other
supply: but if not, there is need of it, and rather there is
need of every supply. " What then," would any one say,
"dost thou propose this money to be military?" [i. e.,for ^
the war.] By Jupiter, not I, indeed ; for in truth, I think it
becomes soldiers to be raised, and it behoves this money to
be military, (i. e., raised for war) and a single mode to
be the same, both of recovering, and of doing things neces-
sary. But you take it thus for your feasts in some way,
without affairs (i. e., without utility.) Then it is remain-
ing, I think, that all contribute much, if there is need of
much : little, if there is need of little. Surely, there is need
of money, and without this, not one of those things neces-
sary, is to be. But other orators mention also some other
means, of which ye will choose whatever may appear to
you to profit, and undertake affa'rs, whilst there is time.

14. But it is proper to reflect and to reason upon affairs,
in what state those of Philip are now established. For neither
the present affairs are found with him very excellent, (as it
appears, and as any one would say, not considering tliem
exactly,) nor as very illustrious : neither would he have ever
undertaken this war, if he had thought that he would need
to make war. But he hoped to gain all these things then,
when having come: and then he has been deceived. Now
this first affair happening contrary to his expectation,
troubles him, and causes great discouragement to him : then
the affairs of the Thessalians trouble him. For, these
people were indeed faithless, even always to all men cer-
tainly by nature, and they are even now towards him
entirely as they were always. For they are even deter-
mined to ask back from him Pagasae ; and have hindered
him to fortify Magnesia.
15. And I have heard from some that they would
neither grant to him any more to enjoy their ports and
%; for it behoves them to administer the commorOlt fw$
property of the Thessalians from that which it would not
behove Philip to obtain. And if he be deprived of this
money, that money for the matntainance to foreign troops
will be reduced to him quite to a strait. But indeed it be-
hoves us to think the Peeonian and the Illyrian, and, in a
word, all those would be more willingly independent and
free, than slaves: for also they are unaccustomed to obey
any one, and the man Philip is insolent, as they say. And,
by Jupiter, nothing perhaps in that is incredible : for to do
well against merit becomes to senseless people an occasion
for thinking badly: wherefore often to guard property seems
to be more difficult than to acquire it.
16. Then it behoves you, O! Athenians, thinking upon

the unfavorable time of this man, to be your opportunity to
push forward promptly your affairs, and sending deputies to
those places to which it behove* you, and making war your-
selves, and inciting all others, reflecting that if Philip take
such an occasion against us, and if the war happen in our
country, how promptly do you think him about to come
against us 1 Then do you not blush, if you dare not, not
having an opportunity, to do those things which you would
suffer if he were able.
17. Therefore, O Athenians, let not this still escape
your notice, that there is a choice to you now whether it be-
hoves you to war there, or him to war with you here. For
indeed if the affairs of the Olynthians resist, you will make
war there, and you will treat badly (i. e., ravage it) the
country being possessed by him, and enjoying fearlessly
this your own country : t but if Philip seize those possessions
of the Olynthians, who will hinder him even to march
hither? The Thebans? I fear lest it may be too disagree-
able to say they will join readily with him. But will the
Phocians ? Those not being capable to defend their own
country, if you do not assist them. Or will any other assist
them ? But O ! my friend, says one. he will not attempt it.
And would it not indeed be of the most unpleasant affairs,
if being able he shall not do those things, which though in-
curring folly, he yet utters now. But truly I think we shall
neither need a discourse to show how great at least is the
difference to make war here or there. For if it behoved
you yourselves to be abroad thirty days only, and to take
of those things from the country, which there is necessity
to obtain, making use of an army, (I speak of no enemy
oeing in the country itself,) I think your cultivators would
experience more than what has been expended for all that
war before. But surely if any war come, how much does it

and lo drive war hence: on one hand, the rich, so that
sacrificing small things for great things which they doing
well possess, and enjoy the rest without fear ; but it behoves
those in age to carry arms, that having acquired the expe-
rience of warring in the country of Philip, they become
formidable guards of the nviolate country : and it behoves
the orators that the accounts of affairs administered become
easy to them : as you shall be also to them such judges of
things done, as shall be the affairs which shall establish you.
And may thpsse he favorable to every citizen.

SUBJECT OF THE DISCOURSE. The request of the Olynthians had been
granted. A decree promised them assistance, the sending of which
was delayed by the fear which the Athenians had of engaging in a
war with an enemy so formidable as Philip. Exordium by insinu-
ation the war which is kindled between Philip and a people so
near his states, is a sensible proof of the good- will of the gods for
the Athenians.

OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS,
ORATION II.
1. SOME one indeed seems to me to have seen, O ! Athe-
nians, the benevolence of the gods become visible to the
state, in many things, but not less in the present affairs.
For that there have arisen those warring against Philip,
possessing also a bordering country, and a certain power, and
(the greatest thing of all) having the purpose for war such;
as to think treaties with him to be, first indeed, faithless,
then, the ruin of their own country, appears by a certain
godlike benevolence and altogether divine. Therefor, O!
Athenians, it behoves ourselves to consider this now, how
we shall not appear worse towards ourselves than our
present circumstances, as it is of shameful things; but
rather of very shameful things to appear not only abandon-
ing cities and places of which we were formerly masters,
but even abandoning both allies and opportunities furnished
by fortune.
2. Then indeed, O ! Athenians, I think to go over the
force of Philip, and to excite you by these discourses to do
the things necessary to be not well (i. e., useless.) Why?
Because all things which any one may say about these
forces, appear to me indeed to have a certain glory for
him, and to have been done not well for us. For indeed

this man is thought by all so much more astonish-
ing as he has done more things above the merit of
himself: but you have incurred shame by so much
greater as ye have served affairs worse than it behoved. I
shall indeed pass by then these. For also, O Athenians, if
any one would consider with truthfulness, he would see him
having become great thence (i. e. by your means) not
by himself. Then I do not see now the time to speak of
those things of which indeed he owes the favor to those
citizens governed for him (i. e. in his interest), but for which
it behoves you to inflict punishment : but I shall endeavor to
mention those things which are still apart from these, and
which it is important for you all to know, and which, O !
Athenians, would appear against him a great reproach to
those wishing to judge rightly. Then indeed some one
would say justly, that to call Philip perjured and faithless,
without showing the things done, is a vain defamation.
But also it is meet that the going over all those which he
has ever done, to convict him upon them all, need a short
discourse ; and I think those to have been mentioned, will
profit on account of two reasons ; and for this, that he ap-
pear base, (which even is found true,) and for this, that those
admiring Philip with fear, as one invincible, should see that
he has passed by all those by which having previously de-
ceived, he has now become great, and that his affairs come
to the same end.
3. For indeed, O ! Athenians, I would also myself think
Philip to be very formidable and wonderful, if seeing him
become great doing things just : but now contemplating and
considering, I find him having deceived, on one hand, our
simplicity, in the beginning, when some citizens drove the
Olynthians hence, wishing to speak with us, by this,

in professing to deliver up Amphipolis, and preparing
secretly that affair, formerly noised abroad, and having
surprised the friendship of the Olynthians after this, in
seizing Potidnea, being ours, and indeed to have injured us
previously his allies, and to deliver it to them, and as to the
last affairs, the Thessalians, by promising to give up Mug-
nesia, and to profess to make war for them, viz., the Phocian
war. And, upon the whole, there is no one of those having
served him whom he has not deceived, for deceiving and
attracting to himself always the ignorance of all those not
knowing him he has become great thus. Then as he has
been raised great through these means, when all thought
him to do something useful for them : so it also behoves
to be reversed again by those same means, since he has
been convicted doing all things for himself. Now indeed,
O! Athenians, affairs are with Philip at this point of time,
either let some one advancing, show to me, (but rather to
you,) either that I do not speak these things true, or that they
having been deceived at first will believe him as to the rest,
or as the Thessalians having been subjected contrary to
their merit, would not become willingly free.
4. And indeed if any one of you really thinks these to be so,
but supposes him to retain by force his affairs, by possessing
himself beforehand of fortresses and ports, and such like places,
he does not think wisely. For indeed when affairs are
regulated by benevolence, and when the same things con-
tribute to all those participating in the war, men wish also to
labor together, and to support reverses, and to remain
faithful; but when any one is strong, as this man, by
covetousness and wickedness, the first occasion,' and a slight
shock, reverses and discomfits all affairs. For it is not
possible it is not possible, O ! Athenians that a man
acting unjustly, and being perjured, and telling falsehoods,

shall possess a durable force : but such things endure indeed
for a time, and for a short time, and flourish very much
according to hopes, if it happen, but with time they are
surprised, and fall into ruin of themselves. For I think, as
it behoves these things -in the lower part of a house, and of a
ship, and of other such things, to be very strong, so it is
proper also for the principles and foundations of actions to
be true and just. But now this is not in those things done
by Philip.
Now I say that it behoves you at once, indeed, to assist
the Olynthians, and it pleases me thus how any one speaks
illustriously and promptly ! and to send to the Thessalians a
deputation which shall make known these things to them,
and shall animate them. For they too have now resolved to
re-demand Pagasse, and to make speeches about Magnesia.
Nevertheless, observe f O ! Athenians, so that the deputies
from us shall not only utter speeches, but shall even have to
show some action, we having gone out against tlie enemy
in a manner worthy of the city, arid of those being employed
in our affairs : as indeed every speech, if our actions are
wanting, appears something vain and empty, but especially
the message from our city. For all distrust it by how
much more we seem to make use of it most promptly. But
you must show a considerable change, and a great altera-
tion, contributing means, and going out against the enemy,
doing all things promptly, if indeed any one shall apply the
mind to you (i. e., if you wish anyone to give heed to you.)
And if you wish to end these affairs as it is proper, and it
behoves you, not only, O ! Athenians, the allies will appear
being weak and faithless to Philip, but even the affairs of
his own realm, and of his own power shall be found being
in a bad state.

by part of an addition, indeed, is some power, not
small as it was once to you, under Timotheus against the
Ol ynthians : yet, again this, a power united with them,
seemed to be something to the Olynthians against Potidaea:
but now it has assisted the Thessalians, discordant and
agitated by factions and harassed against the tyrannical
family ; and I think all things profit where any one adds
power though small : but this state by itself is weak, and
full of many evils. For even he (Philip) by all these
things by which any one might think him great, by wars,
and expeditions has rendered it for himself yet weaker
than it was by nature.
6. For, do not think, O Athenians, that both Philip and
his subjects rejoice in the same things; but he, indeed,
desires glory, and seeks it, and is determined, agitating
and exposing himself to danger, to suffer, if any thing
reverse happen, preferring the glory of having accomplished
those things which no other king of the Macedonians has
ever done, instead of living securely : but indeed, there is not
to them any of that ambition for these things ; but always
tormented by those expeditions, on this side and on that,
they grieve and are constantly unfortunate, suffered to
remain neither at their toils, nor .at their own affairs ; nor
being able to arrange these which they have acquired, so
as they may be able, the markets in the country having
been closed on account of war.
7. Then, indeed, some one might observe notdifficultly from
these, how the most of the Macedonians are in feeling towards
Philip ; and certainly the foreigners and select infantry being
about him, have indeed a fame that they are admirable and
well exercised in the things of war; but as I have heard

from some one of those men born in that country, a man
capable in no way to falsify, they are not better than any
others. For indeed, if there is any man such among them
experienced in war and battles, he declared to me that
he expels all those indeed from jealousy, wishing all his
works to appear to be his own, for said he to me, again
besides these other affairs that also the jealousy of the man
is excessive, but if any one modest or otherwise just, not
able to bear the intemperance of his life every day and his
drunkenness and buffooneries, that such a man is despised,
and is in the part of nothing ; (i. e., regarded as nothing,)
thus, said he, that robbers and flatterers and such like men
being drunk do perform such dances asl now dread to name
before you, are remaining about him. Now it is evident
that these things are true, for also he loves and has about
himself those whom all have driven hence as being much
more wicked than the doers of wonders that man Callias,
the public slave, and such men, imitators of buffoons and
makers of shameful songs which they make against men,
being with them for the sake of being laughed at.
8. And, indeed, these things if even any one think them
little, are O ! Athenians to men thinking wisely great proofs
of the character and of the evil genius of him, Philip.
But I think his succeeding now indeed obscures these, for
these successes are powerful to conceal, and to obscure such
dishonors ; but if any thing should check, then all these
infamies of him shall be disclosed accurately. And he seems
to me, O ! Athenians, to showitinnolongtime, ifeven the gods
will it, and you resolve it. For as in our bodies indeed, whilst
any one is strong, he perceives nothing of each one of the
parts affected, but when any infirmity happens, all the parts
are moved, even if it is a fracture, and if it is a dislocation,
even if any other thing of the parts existing be affected,

thus these evils both of the cities and of tyrants indeed,
whilst they make war abroad are invisible to the many, but
when a neighbouring war is engaged in, it rendersxall these
things visible.
9. But if any one of you, O ! Athenians ! seeing Philip
prospering by that think it formidable to make war against
him, he, indeed, uses the reasoning of a wise man, for
fortune is a great weight, but rather it is every thing in all
affairs of men. But not indeed I, at least, if any'one should
give me the choice, would choose the fortune of our city
(yourselves being willing to do what things it behoves even
in a small measure) than the fortune of him : for I see very
many occasions for having good will from the gods, existing
to you rather than to him, but I think we sit down doing
nothing : and it is not permitted that the one being idle
shall not again order his friends to do something for him ;
certainly not the gods to do something^/br him. Truly, it is
not astonishing, if he, Philip himself making war and
laboring, and present at all affairs, and passing by no
oceasion nor season, is superior to you, delaying and decree-
ing, and inquiring. Indeed I do not wonder at this: for the
contrary would be astonishing if we doing nothing of what
things it behoves those making war, we would be superior
to him doing the things which it behoves him. But I
wonder at this, if, O ! Athenians, you had indeed declared
war against the Lacedaemonians for the just rigJits of the
Greeks : and the power being given to you several times to
acquire much for yourselves, you did not wish it, but paying
contributions you defrayed your own expenses, and warring,
you endangered yourselves, so that the others might obtain
their rights : but now you hesitate to go forth, and you delay to
contribute for yourown possessions : and indeed you have often

saved all others, and during each year in part [i. e., alter-
nately,] but you have sat down having lost your own. 1
wonder at this, and yet in addition to this, if not one of you
O ! Athenians, is able to calculate how long time you war
against Philip, and you doing what, all that time passed
away ; for certainly you know this, that the whole time has
passed by, you delaying and hoping that some other men
will act, accusing one another, impeaching, hoping again,
doing nearly the same things which you do now.
10. Then you are placed thus unreasonably, O ! Athenians,
so that you hope these affairs to become good from being
bad through these same actions, by which the affairs of the
city have become bad from good. But this at least is
neither reasonable nor having nature \i. e. in nature,] for
it is natural that those having should guard much more
easily, than acquire all things. But now nothing of those
formerly which indeed we preserved, is left by the war, but
it behoves to acquire. Then this work is now of your-
selves.
11. Now I say that it is proper to contribute money, to go
out yourselves eagerly to fight^ to accuse no one before that
you have recovered your affairs : and then that you judging
by the same actions, should honor indeed the men worthy
of praise and punish those acting unjustly, and remove
pretences and faults against yourselves. For it is not proper
to search bitterly what has been done by others, if the things
necessary do not exist at first from yourselves. For
on account of something, O ! Athenians, you think all
the generals whom you have sent, indeed, to shun

this war, but that they find wars in private (if it is necessary
to speak anything of those things existing and about the
generals) that there, on one hand, the rewards for which the
war is, are yours (if Amphipolis be taken, you will obtain
that immediately) and the dangers are the special ones of
the generals, but the reward is not: but there the. dangers
indeed are less, and the emoluments of the chiefs and of the
soldiers are Lampsacus and Sigeum, and the ships which
they take. Thus they severally march towards the profitable
to them, and you, when indeed you look to affairs in a bad
state, criminate the chiefs : but when having given them word,
(i. e., liberty to make their defence) you hear their necessi-
ties, you acquit them. Therefore it remains to us to provoke
one another, and to differ; some, indeed, persuaded of these
and some of those, and the public affairs are in a bad
state.
12. For formerly, indeed, O! Athenians, you contributed
in classes, but now you govern by classes : an orator is a
chief of either, and a general and three hundred are under
him : and you, the others are arranged, some indeed for
these and some for those. Now it behoves you renouncing
these affairs and becoming masters of yourselves, even now
to do what is common and to speak, and to deliberate, and
to act. But if you give to some indeed to command you
as by a tyrant, and others to be forced to equip vessels, to
contribute, to carry arms, and some only to decree against
the latter, but to labor for nothing else : any of these things
being necessary, will not be done for you in time : for
always the party suffering injustice will want, then it will
remain to you to punish these instead of your enemies.

13. I say then, in brief, that all contribute an equal part
according to what each one has, that all go out against the
enemy successively, until you have all served ; that you
give liberty of speech to all presenting themselves, and choose
the best things which you may hear, not those which this
one or that one may say, and if you do these things not
only will you immediately praise the one speaking, but even
afterwards yourselves, all affairs being to you better by
far.

SUBJECT OF TIIE DISCOURSE. The measures proposed by Demosthenes
had been partially adopted, and put in execution. Two thousand
men, under the command of Chares, had made a descent in Mace-
donia, and defeated a body of eight hundred men, attached to the
service of Philip, engaged himself before Olynthus, which he was
pressing closely. An advantage so slight, raised the presumption
natural to the Athenians ; and, in their foolish joy, they thought that
nothing more remained to them than to dictate to the king of Ma-
cedonia conditions of peace. The orator, in reducing to its just value
the success obtained by Chares, from thence undertakes to engage
his fellow-citizens to pursue the war with ardor, and to oppose more
ardently than they had yet done, the abuses which had crept into
several parts of the administration, and especially in the law relative
to the distributions of the theater.

DEMOSTHENES'
OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS,
ORATION III.
An abrupt Exordium. The speeches made by the most of
the orators, are not at all in relation with events ; they speak
as conquerors, when they ought to think of the means of con-
quering.
1. IT is not presented to me to think the somethings O !
Athenians, both when I look to our affairs, and when I look
to the speeches which I hear : for on one hand I see those
speeches made about punishing Philip, and I see affairs
advanced to that point, so that it is necessary to examine
how we shall not ourselves suffer badly first. Then those
men, speaking such things appear to me nothing else than to
miss the subject about which you consult, not presenting to
you the subject being (i. e., as it is.) But I know also very
exactly, that indeed, formerly, it was permitted to the State
both to have possessions of itself securely, and to punish
Philip : for under me, (i. e., in my time,) not long ago, both
these tilings happened. Then I am now persuaded that
this thing is sufficient for us to anticipate, first, how we
shall save the allies : for if this thing is found solidly
then it will be permitted to examine also about that accord-
ing to what manner any one will punish him : but before
establishing correctly the beginning, I regard as useless to
make any discourse whatever about the end.

2. Now, indeed, O ! Athenians, the present time, if ever,
needs also now much reflection and deliberation. But I do
not think it the most difficult what it behoves to consult
about present affairs, but I am perplexed in this, O ! Athen-
ians, as to what manner it behoves me to speak to you about
tliein. For I am persuaded, from tJiese things which I being
present and hearing do know, that the most of affairs have
escaped you in your not wishing to do the tilings necessary,
not from ignorance. And I ask you, if I make a speech
with frankness that you suffer it, considering this, if I speak
the truth, / speak it also because of this that the rest may
become better. For look you how from this that each one
harangues the people for favor, present affairs have advanced
to every point of misfortune. But I think it necessary to
re-call first to you a few of those things having happened.

EXPOSITION. First part. It is necessary to redouble
our efforts to assist Olynthus, and keep up the struggle en*
gaged in against Philip.
3. Remember, O ! Athenians, when Philip was announced
to you in Thrace, this third or fourth year, besieging the
Herean fort ; now then, indeed, it was the month of Decem-
ber. But many speeches and some trouble occurring among
you, you resolved to launch forty triremes, and that the
citizens even to forty and five years should embark in them,
and contribute sixty talents, and after these things, this year
being past, September, October, November passed. In this
month immediately after the mysteries of Ceres, you sent
Charydemus having ten empty vessels and five talents of
silver. For when Philip was announced as sick and dead,
(for both news came) thinking that no time of assisting existed
any more, you gave up, O ! Athenians, the whole arma-
ment. But this was the favorable time itself: for if then we

had assisted there, (*. e., at Herea,) as we had resolved
eagerly, Philip restored to health then, would not trouble
us now. Now indeed, affairs done then would not be
otherwise, but now the occasion of another war comes.
What war! This, on account of which also I made men-
tion about these things, that you might not suffer the same.
Now in what, O !' Athenians, shall we profit by this occa-
sion ? For if you do not assist with all your might,
according to your ability, consider in what manner you
shall have commanded all things for Philip.
4. The OJynthians were found having acquired a certain
power, and their affairs were so established, neither Philip
had courage to attack them nor had they courage to attack
Philip. We and they made peace between ourselves, this
thing was as a certain obstacle and troublesome to Philip,
that a large city reconciled to us should watch his oppor-
tunities. We thought that it behoved to stir up against
Philip men in every way, and this thing which all published
previously, is done now in any way. Then, O ! Athenians,
what thing is remaining to do, but to succor vigorously and
eagerly. I indeed do not see. For apart from the shame
surrounding us, if we cowardly neglect any thing of affairs,
I see, O ! Athenians, the fear of affairs after these things
not a little : the Thebans, indeed, being to us, as they are,
but the Phoecians wanting funds, and nothing being an
obstacle to Philip, having subjected the present affairs, at
Olynthus, to turn towards these affairs respecting ourselves.
But yet, if any one of you put off, in this to do necessary
affairs, and desires to look closely into our misfortunes, it
being in his power to hear things happening elsewhere:
and desires to seek help for himself, it being in his power
now himself to succor others. For indeed we almost all,
certainly know that affairs will be brought to this, if we
abandon Jhe present.

SECOND PART. The way to succeed is to do away certain
laws hurtful to the state, among others, that ichich concerns
tfie distributions of the theater.
5. But some one may say that we all determined that
indeed it certainly behoves to assist, and we will assist: but
say this, the how. Then, O ! Athenians, do not wonder if
I say something contrary in opinion to all. Do ye appoint
Legislators, but do not place any one law in those Legisla-
tures (for the laws are sufficient to you) but abrogate those
injuring you for the present. But I mention, thus openly,
the laws concerning things which have relation to plays,
and some laws about things concerning soldiers, of which
some indeed distribute military rewards to the citizens
remaining at home, and others leave uncondemned those
quitting the ranks, then also they make those the more dis-
couraged willing to do what is necessary.
6. But when you have abolished these laws and shall
have rendered sure the way of speaking the best things,
then seek out the one having proposed what you all know,
that they are useful. But before having done these things,
do not consider that any one having spoken the best things
for you will be willing to be destroyed by you, for you shall
not find one ; and otherwise also this thing alone about to
remain namely, that the citizen having uttered and proposed
these things, suffers unjustly some evil, but that it perfects
affairs in nothing, but even renders for the future the saying
the best things more dangerous, even more than now. And
surely, O ! Athenians, it behoves to ask these same men to
abolish the laws, which they have also established. For it
is not just, indeed, that a favor which has injured all the
city should be to those having established these laws then, but
that the hatred by which we would all act better, become a loss
to the one uttering now the best things. But before that you
prepare these things, by no means, think, O ! Athenians,
that no one is so great among yon as having transgressed

the laws not to suffer punishment, nor so senseless as to cast
himself into an evident evil.
It does not surely become you, O ! Athenians, to be
ignorant of this, that a decree is worthy of nothing, if this,
its becoming us to be willing to do ardently those things
appearing proper, be not added. For if the decrees were
sufficient either to force you to do what it behoves you, or
to perform those about which decrees are made, you would
not, decreeing many things, perform few, but rather none of
these, nor would Philip insult you during so long a time :
for long ago he would have suffered punishment certainly
on account of these decrees. But these affairs are not so.
For the performing being in the order after speaking and
voting, is the first in force, and more powerful. Then it
behoves you to apply this, and the other things are present to
you, (i. e., you possess the rest. For also there are with
you, O ! Athenians, those citizens able to speak things
becoming : and you are the sharpest of all to know things
spoken, and you certainly will be able now to perform
them, if you act rightly.
8. For what time or what occasion better than the present
do you seek, O ! Athenians ? or when will ye do those
things which it behoves you to do, if not now ? Has not
tiiis man already seized, indeed, all your strong places?
and if he become master also of this country, we shall
experience the most shameful things of all. Those whom we
zealously promise to save, if they should fight, are they not
now attacked, is he (Philip) not our enemy 1 not having
your possessions ? not a barbarian ? not whatever any one
may say? But by the gods having left all these things, and
almost having prepared them together with him, we will
seek then all those authors who are the cause of these evils 1

THIRD MOTIVE. It is unworthy a people such as the
Athenians not to consent to endure some sacrifices in order
to procure the money which a war so important and neces-
sary requires.

DEMOSTHENES' OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS. 219
For we will not say that we are ourselves at least authors
of tfiese evils, I know this thing clearly, for neither in dangers
of war does any one of those fleeing accuse himself but he
accuses also the general, and his companions, and rather he
accuses all : but they have been conquered, notwithstanding
indeed., through all these having fled, for it is permitted to the
accuser of others to remain, and if each did this they would
conquer.
9. And now does some one not speak the best things?
let another having risen up, speak, and let him not blame
that man. Does any other speak things better 1 Do these
things with good fortune. But these things are not agreeable ;
the one saying this acts no more unjustly, except if it being
necessary to pray, he omits it. For indeed, O ! Athenians, it
is easy to pray, collecting in a short time in the same dis-
course, all things which any one wishes : but to choose when
it is proposed to examine about affairs is no longer equally
easy, but it behoves to lay hold of the best things instead
of agreeable things,'^ it is not permitted to get both.
But if any one have power to leave to us the theatrical
funds, and to mention other military revenues, would he not
be the better one to attend to 1 would any one say it ? . I
indeed would say it, O ! Athenians, if the thing is possible.
But I wonder if either it has happened or will ever happen to
any one of men to abound in things absent for the things
which it behoves him 10 have, if he have squandered away
present property for what does not behove him to have. But
I think the will of each one is a great matter in such speeches :
therefore, it is the easiest thing of all to deceive oneself: for
each one thinks also this which he desires. But affairs often
happen naturally not so.
10. Then, O! Athenians, look to these things so as

also your affairs permit ; and you will be able to go
forth, and you will have your pay. Not indeed is it a
thing of wise men, nor of noble men, neglecting anything
of war on account of the want of funds, to support easily
such insults, nor to march on the one hand against the
Corinthians and Megareans having taken up arms, and to
suffer Philip to enslave the Grecian cities through the want
of provisions for those engaged in war.
11. And, I have not undertaken to speak lightly that I
may become baleful to some of you, (for I am one not so
insensible nor so unfortunate as to wish to be hated, thinking
to be useful in nothing) but I judge of a just citizen
to prefer the safety of affairs instead of the favor in speaking.
For also I hear equally as you also, that those speaking
under our ancestors, (whom all those present, praise indeed,
but do not imitate at all) use this mode and this custom of
administration ; Aristides himself, JMicias, the one of the
same name with myself, and Pericles. But from what time
those orators have appeared interrogating you, what do you
wish? What shall I propose? in what shall I gratify you?
The affairs of the state have been delivered up for pleasure,
a little while, and for favor, and such things happen : the
affairs of these people are all well, but yours are in a state
of disgrace. Now, consider, O ! Athenians, these tilings which
any one might be able to speak briefly, both of the actions
under our ancestors and those under us. But the speech
will be brief and known to you. For it is permitted you, O !
Athenians, to become prosperous, making use of examples not
foreign, but home ones. Therefore they whom those speaking

did not flatter, loved them not as those now Icme you,
commanded indeed the willing Greeks, during sixty and
five years, but gathered into the Acropolis, more than
ten thousand talents : and the king having that country
Macedonia obeyed them as it is fitting that a barbarian obey
the Greeks : and bearing arms themselves they erected
trophies many and beautiful both on foot and fighting in
vessels; and alone of men left the glory by actions more
powerful than those envying. Now, indeed, they were such
in Greek affairs; and in those in the city itself, consider
what they were both in public and in private affairs. On
one hand, then they have established publicly for us, build-
ings and such beauties of temples, and offerings in them, so
that superiority has been left to no one of men existing : but,
in private, they were so wise and remaining much in the
mode of government, that if any one of you really ever saw
the house of Aristides, and that of Miltiades, and of those
citizens then illustrious what sort it is : he sees it being
more remarkable in nothing than the house of the neighbor,
for the affairs of the city were done by them not for
abundance, but each thought that it behoved to improve the
common stock. But from managing, on one hand, the
Greek affairs faithfully, and the affairs towards the Gods
piously, and those among themselves equally they have
acquired justly great honor.
12. Then, indeed, affairs were in this manner to those
making use of their chiefs whom I mentioned : but now how
are affairs with you under those honorable citizens at present?
Are they similarly affected and nearly so? And, indeed, I pass by
other things in silence,having many to say, but enjoying tran-
quillity so great as you all see, and on one hand the Lacedae-
monians indeed being lost, but the Thebans being engaged, and
no one of the others being so powerful to oppose us about the
pre-eminence, but it being in our power also to have securely

have made an enemy so great against ourselves ; or let some
one having come forward, tell me, whence elsewhere than
from ourselves, has Philip become powerful ? But, O ! my
friend, if these things, are badly, (i. e., in a bad state,)
those at least in the city itself are now better. And what
can any one have to say ? that these are the city walls
which we make common, and the roads which we repair, and
the fountains, and such trifles 1 Now, look to those managing
such affairs, which some have become rich from being
poor, and some have become illustrious from being obscure;
and some have built their private houses more remarkable
than the public edifices. But the possessions of these people
have increased by so much as those of the republic have
become less.
12. Now what is the cause of these evils 1 and why once
were all our affairs so fair, and now do not go on well ?
Because, indeed, formerly even the people daring to make-
war themselves were masters of those governing, and them-
selves the stewards of all good things, and it was agreeable
to each of the other ministers to receive from the people
both honor, and dignity, and some advantage : but now, on
the contrary, indeed, those governing are the masters of
good things, and all affairs are done by them : but you,
the people, having been weakend and deprived of your
wealth, and allies, have come into the place of a slave, and
of an accessory, loving if these may give you some of
the theater funds, or send pieces of beef; and the most
unmanly thing of all, you show gratitude for your own
affairs : but those having shut you up in the city itself,

drag you towards those things, and tame you, making you
tractable to themselves. But it is in no way possible, I think,
that men doing small affairs and despicable, should conceive
a noble and elevated thought : for it is necessary to have
also such a thought, such as the tastes of men are. By
Ceres ! I should not wonder at these things, if there should
O *
come from you to me a greater evil, having spoken these
things, than these prepared to happen, for the liberty about
all affairs is not always with you ; but I wonder that it has
happened even now.
13. But then if at least now, still being delivered from this
condition, you both wish to war, and to act worthily of your-
selves, and if you make use of those resources at home as
means for good abroad, likely, O ! Athenians, likely you
would acquire some perfect and great good,. and you would
be delivered from such presents which resemble aliments
given to the sick by doctors ; for even these neither give
force, nor permit the sick to die : and those things which
now you distribute are neither such as to have any suffi-
cient utility, nor do they permit you renouncing them to do
any other thing; but these are increasing the idleness of
each of you.
14. Then dost thou propose pay ? some one will say ;
and I propose, indeed, immediately the same order of all,
O ! Athenians, that each receiving a portion of the public
funds may promptly present himself useful for this thing of
which the state has need. Is it permitted to enjoy repose ?
remaining at home, thou art better, being delivered from
doing by necessity, any thing shameful through want.
What such thing, as also these, now happens ? being thyself
a soldier for thy country, as it is just, from these same

presents. Who of us is beyond the age 1 Let the one inspect-
ing and judging what it behoves to be done, receive, in
equal order, that which he receiving now out of order, avails
not. And upon the whole, neither having retrenched nor
having added, except small afFairs,expelling disorder, I would
bring back the city into order, having made the same order
for recovering, for making wars, for judging, for doing that
which each one has to do, according to age, and of which
there might be an occasion.
14. It is not any where (i. e., possible), I said, that it behoves
to divide the things of those having acted with those doing
nothing : nor does it behove yourselves, indeed, to be inactive,
and to be idle, and to be irresolute; but to inform yourselves
of this, that the foreign soldiers of a certain general are
victorious. For these things happen now, and I do not
blame the one doing for you any of those things necessary,
but I judge yourselves to do for yourselves those things, for
which you honor others, and not to abandon, O ! Athenians,
the post of valor which your ancestors have left to you,
having acquired it with numerous dangers both beautiful and
grand : I have nearly said what I think will avail; but may
you choose what is about to be useful both to the state and
to you all !
