One circumstance did much to reinforce their purpose as champions of Greece: the fact that the earlier battle was fought in Boeotia.[*] They saw that the city of Thebes had been tragically annihilated from the face of the earth, that its citadel was garrisoned by the Macedonians, and that the persons of its inhabitants were in slavery, while others parcelled out the land among themselves. And so these threats, revealed before their eyes, gave them an undaunted courage to meet danger gladly.
