	Phocion - LoveToKnow 1911
		Though by no means inclined to truckle to the Macedonians, as is shown by his protection of the refugee Harpalus and his spirited campaign in defence of Attica in 322, he won the confidence of the conquerors, and in the restricted democracy which Antipater enforced he became the virtual ruler of Athens.
		To the same influence we may ascribe his reserve and his reluctance to co-operate heartily either with the people or with the Macedonian conquerors who put their trust in him: a greater spirit of energy and enterprise might have made him the saviour of his country.
		Phocion remained famous in antiquity for the pithy sayings with which he used to parry the eloquence of his opponents.

	Phocion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phocion (in Greek Φωκίων, c402 - c318 BC), Athenian statesman and general, was born the son of a small manufacturer.
		Phocion's character and policy were throughout inspired by his philosophic training, which best explains his remarkable purity of character and his prudent councils.

	The Internet Classics Archive \| Phocion by Plutarch
		Phocion now expelled Plutarch from Eretria, and possessed himself of the very important fort of Zaretra, situated where the island is pinched in, as it were, by the seas on each side, and its breadth most reduced to a narrow girth.
		Phocion declined all these invitations but one, and when he came to this entertainment and saw the costly preparations, even the water brought to wash the guests' feet being mingled with wine and spices, he reprimanded his son, asking him why he would so far permit his friend to sully the honour of his victory.
		Phocion, then, and those about him, were seized; those of his friends that were not immediately by him, on seeing this, hid their faces, and saved themselves by flight.

	Phocion the Good
		Phocion treated this as no loss at all, telling his officers it was better that these talkers and cowards were gone, because when the moment of truth came, they would not only be useless but would actually be in the way.
		Phocion's wife was as famous for her good character as Phocion was for his good sense.

	Plutarch: Life of Phocion (1) - translation
		Phocion was an Athenian statesman and general, who was prominent from 348 B.C. onwards, until he was condemned to death in 318 B.C. Demades the orator, by studying in his whole administration to please the Macedonians and Antipater, had great authority in Athens.
		Phocion, whose prudence was equal to his courage, animated him when he was too slow in his operations, and endeavoured to bring him to act coolly when he was unsuitably violent.
		Phocion, after the battle, drove Plutarchus out of Eretria, and made himself master of Zaretra, a fort advantageously situated where the island draws to a point, and the neck of land is defended on each side by the sea.

	Plutarch: Life of Phocion (2)- translation
		Phocion was an Athenian statesman and general, who was prominent from 348 B.C. onwards, until he was condemned to death in 318 B.C. Of his first wife we have no account, except that she was sister to Cephisodotus the statuary.
		Phocion went and reported this preliminary to the Athenians, which they agreed to out of necessity; and then returned to Thebes with other ambassadors, the principal of whom was Xenocrates the philosopher.
		Phocion, however, was not concerned about it; on the contrary, he conversed familiarly with Nicanor, and by his efforts not only rendered him kind and obliging to the Athenians, but inspired him with an ambition to distinguish himself by exhibiting games and shows to the people.

		When, however, Antipater and Phi-loxenus required of the Athenians the surrender of Harpalus, Phocion joined Demosthenes in advising them to resist the demand ; but their efforts were unsuccessful, and the rebel was thrown into prison till Alexander's pleasure should be known [harpalus].
		The garrison, however, was commanded by Me-nyllus, a good and moderate man, and a friend of Phocion's ; and the latter, by his influence with the new rulers of his country, contrived to soften in several respects her hard lot of servitude.
		Many Athenian exiles came with him, as well as a number of strangers and disfranchised citizens, and by the votes of these in the assembly Phocion was deposed from his office.

	Plutarch's Life of Phocion
		Phocion also took some of his ships, and recaptured some of the places he had garrisoned, making besides several inroads into the country, which he plundered and overran, until he received a wound from some of the enemy who came to the defense, and, thereupon, sailed away home.
		Phocion declined all these invitations but one, and when he came to this entertainment and saw the costly preparations, even the water brought to wash the guests' feet being mingled with wine and spices, he reprimanded his son, asking him why he would so far permit his friend to sully the honor of his victory.

		As a veteran general with numerous connections, Phocion certainly possessed the stature to sponsor another in the political arena.
		Plutarch's lives of Phocion and Demosthenes in fact preserve significant rhetorical evidence that demonstrates that far from being an untalented speaker, Phocion's contemporaries ranked him at the top: Demosthenes called him the "cleaver" (Plut.
		Phocion was certainly a major figure in his own right, an able speaker who did not require a "voice." It is also important to note that in the Euboean campaign of 348 BC, a campaign sponsored largely by Eubulus and Meidias to prop up the crumbling tyranny of Plutarchus of Eretria, Phocion deposed Plutarchus.

		Yet, though difficult, it is not, I suppose, impossible for men's tempers, any more than for wines, to be at the same time harsh and agreeable to the taste; just as on the other hand many that are sweet at the first taste are found, on further use, extremely disagreeable and unwholesome.
		He permitted him so to do, in the contest of leaping, not with any view to the victory, but in the hope that the training and discipline for it would make him a better man, the youth being in a general way a lover of drinking, and ill-regulated in his habits.
		So that there is no need to take counsel hastily or before it is safe." When Leosthenes now had embarked the city in the Lamian war, greatly against Phocion's wishes, to raise a laugh against Phocion, he asked him scoffingly, what the state had been benefited by his having now so many years been general.

		He served successfully against the forces of Philip of Macedon—in Euboea (now Évvoia; 348 BC) and at Byzantium (339), when he forced Philip to abandon his siege of that city.
		When the Athenians refused to comply with Alexander's demand for the surrender of Demosthenes, Phocion led a successful embassy of conciliation to Alexander.
		Later, when the Athenian democracy, which had been curtailed by Antipater, was restored, the democrats forced Phocion to drink hemlock; shortly after his death, however, they raised a statue in his honor.

		Phocion was sent thither with a handful of men in comparison, in expectation that the EubÅ“ans themselves would flock in and join him.
		And when to this was added the deaths of Demosthenes at Calauria, and of Hyperides at CleonÃ¦, as we have elsewhere related, the citizens began to think with regret of Philip and Alexander, and almost to wish the return of those times.
		Yet Phocion had interest with him to recall many from banishment by his intercession, and prevailed also for those who were driven out, that they might not, like others, be hurried beyond TÃ¦narus, and the mountains of Ceraunia, but remain in Greece, and plant themselves in Peloponnesus, of which number was Agnonides, the sycophant.

		These principles dictate, that no man shall lose his rights without a hearing and conviction, before the proper tribunal; that previous to his disfranchisement, he shall have the full benefit of the laws to make his defence; and that his innocence shall be presumed till his guilt has been proved.
		These with many other maxims, never to be forgotten in any but tyrannical governments, oppose the aims of those who quarrel with the principles of Phocion.
