When, Athenians, will you take the necessary action? What are you waiting for? Until you are compelled, I presume. But what are we to think of what is happening now? For my own part I think that for a free people there can be no greater compulsion than shame for their position. Or tell me, are you content to run round and ask one another, Is there any news today? Could there be any news more startling than that a Macedonian is triumphing over Athenians and settling the destiny of Hellas?
