Why, what better time or occasion could you find than the present, men of Athens ? When will you do your duty, if not now? Has not your enemy already captured all our strongholds, and if he becomes master of Chalcidice , shall we not be overwhelmed with dishonor? Are not those states actually at war which we so readily engaged in that event to protect? Is not Philip our enemy? And in possession of our property? And a barbarian? Is any description too bad for him?
