Ian Worthington has written: 'DEMOSTHENES' 'Greek Orators II'
Demosthenes warned the Athenians about Philip of Macedon because he saw him as a threat to Greek independence and feared that Philip's expansionist ambitions would lead to the subjugation of Athens and other Greek city-states. Demosthenes urged his fellow citizens to take action to resist Philip's influence to protect their freedom and democracy.
