Plot on a Map
Olynthus (in text as “Olynthian”).
Macedonia (in text as “Macedonian”).
The Athenians received the Olynthian embassy and decided to help them, but they have not yet set out to do so. Coming forward to address the people at a time when they are afraid of Philip as <being> hard to fight, Demosthenes tries to encourage them by showing that the Macedonian’s position is weak. For Philip (he says) is under suspicion by his allies and is not that strong when his forces are considered in isolation, because the Macedonians by themselves are weak.
