[g] Despite Demosthenes' strong advocacy, the Athenians would not manage to prevent the falling of the city to the Macedonians. [34] Aeschines taunted him and referred to him in his speeches by the nickname "Batalus",[d] apparently invented by Demosthenes' pedagogues or by the little boys with whom he was playing[35]—which corresponded to how someone with that variety of rhotacism would pronounce "Battaros," the name of a legendary Libyan king who spoke quickly and in a disordered fashion. [77] After these Macedonian victories, Athens sued for peace with Macedon. E. M. Burke, "The Early Political Speeches of Demosthenes", 177–178. He was a master at "self-fashioning" by referring to his previous accomplishments, and renewing his credibility. Editeur : Armand Colin. He did not attack Athens, but demanded the exile of all anti-Macedonian politicians, Demosthenes first of all. Instead of electioneering, Athenian politicians used litigation and defamation to remove rivals from government processes. ^ According to Tsatsos, the trials against the guardians lasted until Demosthenes was twenty four. He then sent a dispatch to Athens, in which he gave a list of the persons who had taken a bribe from Harpalus. Il doit se résoudre à accepter une alliance avec la cité de Thèbes, alliance qui est scellée par l'envoi de son jeune frère comme otage. L'équipement et la tactique de l'armée macédonienne connaissent par ailleurs des améliorations décisives qui servent la domination militaire mais aussi de levier social pour les couches « moyennes ». Bel et rare ouvrage de référence sur l'art de la rhétorique de deux grands personnages de l'histoire - M. L'Abbé D'Olivet - Philippiques de Démosthène et Catilinaires de Ciceron - 1765 Bon état de la reliure, ouvrage dans son plein cuir marron d'origine, bon état des plats et du dos, petits frottements, coiffe [154] French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau was among those who idealised Demosthenes and wrote a book about him. In this he towers above the greatest of his predecessors. In 347 BC, an Athenian delegation, comprising Demosthenes, Aeschines and Philocrates, was officially sent to Pella to negotiate a peace treaty. This speech gives valuable information about Athenian law at the time and especially about the Greek concept of hybris (aggravated assault), which was regarded as a crime not only against the city but against society as a whole. Editorial team. Dover's arguments were refuted by Edward M. Harris, who concluded that, although we cannot be sure about the outcome of the trial, the speech was delivered in court, and that Aeschines' story was a lie. [26], It has also been said that Demosthenes paid Isaeus 10,000 drachmae (somewhat over 1½ talents) on the condition that Isaeus withdraw from a school of rhetoric he had opened and instead devote himself wholly to Demosthenes, his new pupil. [139] According to the Roman statesman, Demosthenes regarded "delivery" (gestures, voice, etc.) [85] Demosthenes was among those who adopted a pragmatic approach, and recommended this stance in his oration On the Peace. Les historiens et archéologues estiment que le corps de Philippe a été placé dans la nécropole royale de Vergina, site grec correspondant à celui de l'antique Aigai, première capitale du royaume de Macédoine, la tombe exacte faisant encore l'objet de discussions entre spécialistes[8]. [8], Demosthenes started to learn rhetoric because he wished to take his guardians to court and because he was of "delicate physique" and could not receive gymnastic education, which was customary. [160] Modern editions of these speeches are based on four manuscripts of the tenth and eleventh centuries AD. [76] There is no consensus among scholars either on whether Demosthenes finally delivered Against Meidias or on the veracity of Aeschines' accusation that Demosthenes was bribed to drop the charges. During a meeting of the Council, Philip accused the Amfissian Locrians of intruding on consecrated ground. [51], In Demosthenes' time, different political goals developed around personalities. E. M. Harris, "Demosthenes' Speech against Meidias", 117–118; J. H. Vince. La puissance de charge est alors accrue, d'autant plus que les masses de tous les soldats se cumulent tant la formation est serrée. Intervention dans les affaires de Thessalie et de Phocide, Hégémonie macédonienne et la Ligue de Corinthe, « J'ai fait le bornage de la terre de Pélops », « A-t-on retrouvé les restes de Philippe II de Macédoine, le père d'Alexandre le Grand ? C. Wooten, "Cicero's Reactions to Demosthenes", 37. Sous la direction de Démosthène, la ville de Athènes, à laquelle on ajoute ensuite Thèbes, Il se révolta contre l'hégémonie macédonienne, mais les Athéniens et Thébains ont été défaits en Bataille de Chéronée en 338. [184] His contempt for Philip is forcefully expressed in the Third Philippic 31 in these terms: "...he is not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honour, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia, whence it was never yet possible to buy a decent slave." ", "Just think. [13], According to Pseudo-Plutarch, Demosthenes was married once. Synopsis. [93] Demosthenes now dominated Athenian politics and was able to considerably weaken the pro-Macedonian faction of Aeschines. In 335 BC Alexander felt free to engage the Thracians and the Illyrians, but, while he was campaigning in the north, Demosthenes spread a rumour—even producing a bloodstained messenger—that Alexander and all of his expeditionary force had been slaughtered by the Triballians. », Les causes de l’assassinat de Philippe et ses conséquences, Chronologie des campagnes d'Alexandre le Grand, Tactique militaire utilisée par Alexandre le Grand, https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philippe_II_(roi_de_Macédoine)&oldid=177440593, Article contenant un appel à traduction en anglais, Article de Wikipédia avec notice d'autorité, Portail:Biographie/Articles liés/Politique, licence Creative Commons attribution, partage dans les mêmes conditions, comment citer les auteurs et mentionner la licence, Arnaldo Momigliano, Antoine Malamoud et Giampiera Arrigoni. En Haute-Macédoine, Philippe impose son autorité en éliminant les dynastes et en les obligeant à s’installer à Pella[3]. [132] From his part, George A. Kennedy believes that his political speeches in the ekklesia were to become "the artistic exposition of reasoned views". Sparte, la Crète et les cités de Grande-Grèce, restées neutres, n'entrent pas dans cette ligue. Philippe II (en grec ancien : Φίλιππος / Phílippos), né en 382 av. Aeschines and Dinarchus also maintained that when the Arcadians offered their services for ten talents, Demosthenes refused to furnish the money to the Thebans, who were conducting the negotiations, and so the Arcadians sold out to the Macedonians. In 339 BC Philip made his last and most effective bid to conquer southern Greece, assisted by Aeschines' stance in the Amphictyonic Council. [j] Alexander reacted immediately and razed Thebes to the ground. Also in 342 BC, he delivered the Third Philippic, which is considered to be the best of his political orations. Had you for Greece been strong, as wise you were, the Macedonian would not have conquered her. In the Illiterate Book-Fancier, Lucian mentions eight beautiful copies of Thucydides made by Demosthenes, all in Demosthenes' own handwriting. Démosthène : ne prononçait pas de discours sans avoir un galet dans la bouche ", écrit Flaubert dans son Dictionnaire des idées reçues. Cette volonté d'implantation macédonienne en Grèce du Nord-Est provoque des révoltes, notamment celle de Byzance, soutenue par Athènes. Aeschines agreed with this proposition and maintained that the Athenians should participate in the Congress. [174] Tsatsos and the philologist Henri Weil believe that there is no indication that Demosthenes was a pupil of Plato or Isocrates. L'assassin est un jeune noble et garde du corps (sômatophylaque), Pausanias d'Orestide, qui garde une rancune envers le roi après avoir subi un viol[6]. Demosthenes was admitted to his δῆμος (dêmos) as a citizen with full rights probably in 366 BC, and he soon demonstrated an interest in politics. "[192] On the other hand, Plutarch believes that Harpalus sent Demosthenes a cup with twenty talents and that "Demosthenes could not resist the temptation, but admitting the present, ... he surrendered himself up to the interest of Harpalus. J.-C., mort assassiné en 336, est un roi de Macédoine de la dynastie des Argéades qui règne entre 359 et 336.Il est le père d'Alexandre le Grand. And why? [80] Despite his suggestions, the Athenian envoys, including himself and Aeschines, remained in Pella, until Philip successfully concluded his campaign in Thrace. Philippe commence par éliminer ses rivaux potentiels, dont le prétendant Argaios III de Macédoine, soutenu par Athènes, en 360. [68] Among other things, the plan called for the creation of a rapid-response force, to be created cheaply with each ὁπλῑ́της (hoplī́tēs) to be paid only ten drachmas per month (two obols per day), which was less than the average pay for unskilled labourers in Athens—implying that the hoplite was expected to make up the deficiency in pay by looting. Hence, his style harmonises with his fervent commitment. [69], From this moment until 341 BC, all of Demosthenes' speeches referred to the same issue, the struggle against Philip. Grand adversaire de Philippe II de Macédoine, il est l'un des plus grands orateurs attiques. ^ According to Plutarch, Demosthenes deserted his colours and "did nothing honorable, nor was his performance answerable to his speeches". Throughout his career "we trace the same combination of earnest patriotism with wise and long-sighted policy." "[2] Quintilian extolled him as lex orandi ("the standard of oratory"). J.-C. : il épouse la veuve de celui-ci, conformément à la coutume, et au cours de l'été 360, il est désigné comme tuteur de son neveu, le fils mineur de Perdiccas, Amyntas IV, qu'il écarte un peu plus tard en se faisant proclamer lui-même roi par l'assemblée du peuple macédonien. Demosthenes undertook a disciplined programme to overcome his weaknesses and improve his delivery, including diction, voice and gestures. Demosthenes delivered On the Chersonese and convinced the Athenians not to recall Diopeithes. Il s'empare au passage de cités qui sont des colonies ou des alliées d'Athènes, comme Amphipolis qu'il assiège en 357, Pydna ou Potidée. Read reviews from world’s largest community for readers. Dès lors, l'affrontement direct entre Philippe et Athènes apparaît inévitable. [45] He was among the first ever volunteer trierarchs in 357 BC, sharing the expenses of a ship called Dawn, for which the public inscription still survives. La vie et la personnalité de Démosthène (384-322 av. Par sa politique d'expansion, Philippe est parvenu à tripler la surface du royaume de Macédoine en annexant la Haute-Macédoine (dont la Lyncestide et Orestide), les territoires situés à l'est de l'Axios (dont la Thrace) et la Chalcidique. The orator asked the Athenians to choose that which is just and honourable, before their own safety and preservation. On citera également pour mémoire le compte rendu par Eschine du discours avorté de Démosthène devant Philippe de Macédoine lors de la seconde ambassade (Sur l'ambassade infidèle, 34-35). [188], i. Demosthenes escaped to a sanctuary on the island of Kalaureia (modern-day Poros), where he was later discovered by Archias, a confidant of Antipater. [140] Although he lacked Aeschines' charming voice and Demades' skill at improvisation, he made efficient use of his body to accentuate his words. [10] Demosthenes asserted his guardians had left nothing "except the house, and fourteen slaves and thirty silver minae" (30 minae = ½ talent). Il est considéré par le philosophe péripatéticien Théophraste comme le plus grand des rois de Macédoine, non seulement par sa fortune, mais encore par sa sagesse et sa modération. Often they indicted each other for breaches of the statute laws (graphē paranómōn), but accusations of bribery and corruption were ubiquitous in all cases, being part of the political dialogue. According to Jebb, Demosthenes was a true artist who could make his art obey him. Au printemps 358 av. [c] According to Plutarch, Demosthenes employed Isaeus as his master in rhetoric, even though Isocrates was then teaching this subject, either because he could not pay Isocrates the prescribed fee or because Demosthenes believed Isaeus' style better suited a vigorous and astute orator such as himself. Demosthenes learned rhetoric by studying the speeches of previous great orators. Il arrache également aux Athéniens la cité de Méthone sur le golfe Thermaïque, malgré l'envoi d'une flotte par Athènes. En 337, Philippe réunit les cités grecques lors du congrès de Corinthe et fonde la Ligue de Corinthe ou Ligue des Hellènes. [47], Between 355 and 351 BC, Demosthenes continued practising law privately while he was becoming increasingly interested in public affairs. [138], Besides his style, Cicero also admired other aspects of Demosthenes' works, such as the good prose rhythm, and the way he structured and arranged the material in his orations. However, the Athenian orator and statesman Demades is said to have remarked: "O King, when Fortune has cast you in the role of Agamemnon, are you not ashamed to act the part of Thersites [an obscene soldier of the Greek army during the Trojan War]?" En 342, Philippe fait de la Thrace une province de la Macédoine et y fonde plusieurs cités. [183] According to Konstantinos Tsatsos and Douglas M. MacDowell, Demosthenes regarded as Greeks only those who had reached the cultural standards of south Greece and he did not take into consideration ethnological criteria. [111] In 336 BC, the orator Ctesiphon proposed that Athens honour Demosthenes for his services to the city by presenting him, according to custom, with a golden crown. Cet assassinat a peut-être été commis à l’instigation des Perses, voire d’Olympias afin d'assurer l'accession au trône d'Alexandre. [167] There is an agreement among scholars that Cleoboule was a Crimean and not an Athenian citizen. La vie et la personnalité de Démosthène ont toujours fasciné les historiens. [196] Of Demosthenes's corpus political speeches, J. H. Vince singles out five as spurious: On Halonnesus, Fourth Philippic, Answer to Philip's Letter, On Organization and On the Treaty with Alexander. During this period, he wrote Against Androtion and Against Leptines, two fierce attacks on individuals who attempted to repeal certain tax exemptions.

Because of this turbulence, the Athenian Assembly convened. [ Carlier, Pierre; ]. " [116] Unable to pay this huge amount, Demosthenes escaped and only returned to Athens nine months later, after the death of Alexander. Thanks to Demosthenes' diplomatic manoeuvres, Abydos also entered into an alliance with Athens. The wording is even more telling in Greek, ending with an accumulation of plosive pi sounds: οὐ μόνον οὐχ Ἕλληνος ὄντος οὐδὲ προσήκοντος οὐδὲν τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ βαρβάρου ἐντεῦθεν ὅθεν καλὸν εἰπεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὀλέθρου Μακεδόνος, ὅθεν οὐδ᾽ ἀνδράποδον σπουδαῖον οὐδὲν ἦν πρότερον πρίασθαι. [15], In his speeches, Aeschines uses pederastic relations of Demosthenes as a means to attack him. [84] Despite some reluctance on the part of the Athenian leaders, Athens finally accepted Philip's entry into the Council of the League. George Grote[111] notes that already thirty years before his death, Demosthenes "took a sagacious and provident measure of the danger which threatened Grecian liberty from the energy and encroachments of Philip." In 341 BC Demosthenes was sent to Byzantium, where he sought to renew its alliance with Athens. In the case of Aristion, a youth from Plataea who lived for a long time in Demosthenes' house, Aeschines mocks the "scandalous" and "improper" relation. "Demosthenes, however, he never mentioned at all, although Alexander held him in bitter hatred, and he himself had a private quarrel with him. E. Badian, "The Road to Prominence", 29–30. [169] According to Aeschines, Gylon received as a gift from the Bosporan rulers a place called "the Gardens" in the colony of Kepoi in present-day Russia (located within two miles (3 km) of Phanagoria). Philip decided to act at once; in the winter of 339–338 BC, he passed through Thermopylae, entered Amfissa and defeated the Locrians. Since Athenian politicians were often indicted by their opponents, there was not always a clear distinction between "private" and "public" cases, and thus a career as a logographer opened the way for Demosthenes to embark on his political career. [26] Peck believes that Demosthenes continued to study under Isaeus for the space of four years after he had reached his majority. ", The sentiments to which Demosthenes appeals throughout his numerous orations, are those of the noblest and largest patriotism; trying to inflame the ancient Grecian sentiment of an autonomous Hellenic world, as the indispensable condition of a dignified and desirable existence. According to Plutarch, this name was given him either for his savage and spiteful behaviour or for his disagreeable way of speaking. [48] In Against Timocrates and Against Aristocrates, he advocated eliminating corruption. For a time, Demosthenes made his living as a professional speech-writer (logographer) and a lawyer, writing speeches for use in private legal suits. Il est tout de même fait mention d'une lettre adressée par Alexandre à Darius III dans laquelle il blâme le grand roi pour le meurtre de son père[A 2]. J.-C., le Conseil amphictyonique, à l'initiative d'Eschine, décide une quatrième guerre sacrée contre une cité de Locride, Amphissa, accusée d'avoir cultivé une terre sacrée.
