[299]
What do you think, men of Athens? Will Philip be gratified by the
deliverance or by the punishment of the man who has done all this mischief? By
his deliverance surely; but the oracle bids you strive that the enemy shall not
rejoice. Therefore, you are all exhorted by Zeus, by Dione, by all the gods, to
punish with one mind those who have made themselves the servants of your
enemies. There are foes without; there are traitors within. It is the business
of foes to give bribes, of traitors to take bribes, and to rescue those who have
taken them.
