"Blessed are the poor-minded, for they will inherit the kingdom of heaven". Demosthenes was an ATHENIAN retor (=polititian) that was trying to persuade the Athenians to march against Phillipe (Alexander's father) in order to save an Athenian city named Olynthos which was invaded by Phillip How 's THAT for history knowledge???

@Colovion: I ve read all three Dimosthene's speaches written against Phillipe. His argument about the barbaric, non-greek nature of the Macedonians is so feeble even Dimosthenes is not bothering to back it up. He is just throwing insults on Phillipe.
But, you preffer to ignore things as the language of the macedonians (not their trading language, but the language CARVED ON THEIR GRAVES), their gods and culture. Did you know ARISTOTLE WAS ALSO MACEDONIAN, from a village named Stageira? Mabe he wasn't Greek too, ha!!
Mabe you should pay a visit to Phillip's the barbarian grave, and read the scripts carved on it. It is GREEK. Ask a Greek to translate it for you. It is his native language.
