The orator's instances of Philip's encroachments are remarkable (l) for
their admirable selection :--Philip has with impunity robbed Athenians (at
Lemnos and Imbros) of their freedom; of their supplies, by capturing
the corn-ships; of their honour, by carrying off the sacred trireme; (2)
for the order in which they are stated :--he has robbed them first at the
distant island of Lemnos, next off the southern promontory of Euboea,
and lastly at Marathon, on the very coast of Attica; with increasing
anxiety and excitement, the listener feels that the next step must bring
Philip to Athens itself. ' Lastly, he landed at Marathon. ' The slightest
stress on that historic name would at once recall a similar landing when a
far different doom awaited the invader. Like a flash of lightning this last
instance would reveal to the Athenians the preci ice on the brink of which
they were standing, would reuse them to a vivir apprehension of the im-
mediate crisis, and would prompt them to give effect to the orator's
demand (Rehdantz). The effect is still further enhanced by the striking
rhythm of the closing sentence, in which two anapaestic lines, suggestive
of measured advance, are followed by a swift dactylic and trochaic move-
