War.

Another and a more interesting event now excited The Social the attention of Athens. We have already adverted to the oppressive sway which she exercised over her subject allies. This was carried to a much greater height, when the command fell into hands equally weak and profligate. Till now, the Athenians had always, with little distinction of party, placed the most able officers at the head of their armaments. Of these, they still possessed abundance; and Chabrias, Timotheus, and Iphicrates, were well calculated to support the reputation of the Athenian name. Το them, however, the populace now preferred Chares, a partizan of some activity and enterprize, but totally unfit for the management of great affairs, and who conciliated the favour of the people, by flattering their passions, and by distributing among them his ill-gotten plunder. Being repeatedly vested with the command of the fleet, his exactions became at length so enormous, that several of the principal dependencies, Rhodes, Chios, Cos, and Byzantium, threw off the yoke, and openly asserted their independence. Hence arose what is called the Social

Parties in Athens.

War.

This intelligence struck Athens like a thunderbolt. The people were so far roused to activity, that they immediately equipped a powerful fleet, and sent it against Chios. Chares had the chief command, with Chabrias under him. He was repulsed, however, in his attack on the harbour, and Chabrias, who alone entered, refusing to retreat, was slain; an irreparable loss to his country. The confederates, encouraged by this success, attacked the important islands of Samos and Lemnos. The Athenians, recalled to some measure of wisdom, sent a new armament under Timotheus and Iphicrates. These commanders forced the enemy to relinquish their enterprize; but having declined to fight in a disadvantageous situation, were denounced to the people by Chares. Their trial was instituted; and though they escaped the punishment of death, yet such a fine was imposed upon both, as amounted to banishment. The object of the accusation, however, was attained. The sole command of the fleets and armies of the republic devolved upon Chares, by whom they were so completely mismanaged, that no progress whatever

was made in the reduction of the revolted states. Chares, too, having for a sum of money assisted Artabazus, satrap of Ionia, against the king of Persia, drew upon Athens the resentment of that monarch. In addition to this, the increasing pressure from Macedon and other quarters at length reduced her to the humiliating necessity of agreeing to a peace, by which she acknowledged the entire independence of the revolted states.

We return now to the affairs of Macedon. Two parties then divided the Athenian councils. One perpetually recommended peace and friendship with that power; while the other breathed only war and hostility. The former consisted partly of the devoted adherents of Philip; and partly also of a de

scription of men, by far the most respectable in Athens, Athens. who were abundantly sensible of the danger arising from this quarter. Seeing, however, that the state was now totally unable to contend with the power of that monarchy, the preponderance of which was increased by every new war, they advised a moderate and con ciliating system as the only means of preserving to Athens what still remained. Isocrates and Phocion were the heads of this party. In the other, the lead was now taken by Demosthenes. His ardent and glowing mind, conceived the idea of reviving the glory of Athens, and making her all that she had formerly been. While, therefore, he impelled his countrymen to the most daring enterprizes, he at the same time pointed out the means by which these could be brought to a prosperous issue. He urged the necessity of no longer wasting the public treasure on theatrical representations, and of taking up arms themselves, instead of filling their armies with mercenaries. The Athenians, in the decline of their valour, still retained all their ambition, so that he commonly succeeded in his first object, of engaging them in bold and adventurous undertakings; but he in vain endeavoured to make them submit to those pri vations, which were indispensably necessary for their prosecution. Thus the influence of this party was injurious, both from what it did, and from what it did not accomplish. On the other hand, the party of Phocion, without being able to check the rash schemes of their adversaries, seem only to have embarrassed the execution of them. Thus every thing conspired to the fall of Athenian great

ness.

On one occasion, the people discovered some marks of their former activity. Philip had contrived to gain a powerful party in Euboea, which, availing itself of the small number of Athenian troops kept there, succeeded in gaining an ascendency, and thus threatened to deprive Athens of that important island. This danger was too imminent to be neglected. An armament was immediately equipped and committed to Phocion, now the only great com mander remaining to Athens. Phocion, acting with his usual skill and judgment, was not long of defeating the Macedonians and Euboean malcontents, and of compelling the former to evacuate the island.

The alliance between the Olynthians and Philip Philip rewas not likely to last long. The possession of the duces Olyn Thracian coast was a primary object of ambition to thus. that monarch; and when he had disengaged himself from other objects, the restless character of this state, full of Athenian partizans, soon afforded him a pretence. The interest of Athens could not be mistaken. A strict alliance was immediately concluded between the two republics, and the Athenians, in compliance with the urgent intreaties of Demosthenes, seriously resolved on a prosecution of the war. As they were in vain entreated, however, to retrench in their expensive amusements, or to submit to the hardships of personal service, every thing went on slowly and languidly. A few mercenary troops were hired, and put under the command of Chares. That general, however, instead of aiding the Olynthians, employed himself in his usual occupation of ravaging the coasts, and plundering the allies; and,

Athens. having enabled himself, on his return, to give a splendid feast to the people, was hailed with acclamation. New ambassadors, however, soon came from Olynthus, to remonstrate on the inefficacy of this expedition. Another was then fitted out, and a small body of mercenaries at last thrown into Olynthus. This, however, proved but a feeble barrier to the progress of Philip. Having successively reduced city after city, he was now pressing the siege of the capital, which, after a long and obstinate resistance, was reduced to the last extremity. The Athenians, on learning this distress of their ally, began at last to set a formidable expedition on foot; but just as it was on the point of sailing, intelligence arrived, that its object was no more, and that Philip was now master of Olynthus.

successes.

Philip having obtained this extent of sea coast, was His farther not long in equipping a formidable navy, which enabled him to make the Athenians feel the hardships of war, even in their own country. He ravaged the coasts of Attica; he landed a body of troops in Euboa, which, joined to the party that still adhered to him among the inhabitants, enabled him to regain the ascendency in that island. The spirit of the Athenians was broken by such a succession of calamities; and Philip having, in conformity to his usual system, been the first to make pacific advances, all parties seem to have agreed in the propriety of sending an embassy to him. Among the ambassadors were Demosthenes and Eschines, both hostile to that monarch. Demosthenes, in this new character, did not maintain his former reputation, while all admired the politeness and eloquence of Philip. Through the arts of that monarch, aided by the volatility of the Athenian people, the negociation was protracted; successive embassies were sent; while Philip, availing himself of these delays, was crushing Kersableptes, the ally of Athens, and maturing his designs against the liberties of Greece. At length, having gained a body of mercenaries, who defended Nicæa, he obtained possession of that important fortress, and through it of the pass of Thermopyla. He then lost no time in entering Greece, where, supported by the Thebans, Thessalians, and Locrians, he soon crushed the Phocians, and gave them a prey to the unrelenting vengeance of their enemies, which, however, he interfered to mitigate. He then procured his appointment as general of the Amphictyons, which afforded him a pious pretence for interposing whenever he thought fit, in the affairs of Greece. In this new character, he left a garrison in the citadel of Thebes; and supporting his affected character of moderation, withdrew his army, for the present, out of Greece.

Vigorous =fforts of

ians.

The Athenians were struck with mortal alarm, when they received intelligence, that Philip was he Athe establishing himself in the heart of the Grecian states. Demosthenes, who had long warned them of this issue, now acquired additional influence. This advantage, joined to the growing fame of his eloquence, enabled him for some time to exert an almost undivided sway over their councils, and to communicate to them an expiring energy, to which they had long been strangers. Yet it was conceived necessary, under present circumstances, to admit Phi

lip's title of general of the Amphictyons, and not, by Athens. denying it, to provoke an immediate war. They held themselves, however, in a state of preparation to resist any farther encroachments.

The first object to which Demosthenes directed the attention of the Athenians, was Eubœa. The Macedonian party had already lost considerable ground in that island by their violence and oppression. When Phocion, therefore, was sent with an armament, accompanied by Demosthenes, the eloquence of the one, and the military skill of the other, soon brought back the island to the dominion of Athens.

Philip was soon after foiled in a still more sensible A. C. 939. point. He had long cast an eager eye on Byzantium, Perinthus, and Selymbria, cities great and opulent in themselves, and important from their com mand of the Thracian Bosphorus, the key of the Euxine. Thinking this a favourable opportunity, he had commenced operations against them, but met with a vigorous resistance. Demosthenes urged the Athenians to a vigorous support of these cities; armaments were accordingly fitted out; and though the first was rendered fruitless by the ill-conduct of Chares, yet the second, being entrusted to Phocion, was effectual in relieving the Thracian cities, and in forcing Philip to relinquish his designs in that quar

ter.

Philip, finding himself thwarted in this point, di- Progress of rected his attention to another, which appeared more Philip in promising. His emissaries in Greece succeeded in Greece, kindling a new sacred war against the Amphissans, a people of Phocis, and in procuring an invitation for Philip, as general of the Amphictyons, to take the chief command. Philip eagerly grasped at the offer; escaped, by a stratagem,. the Athenian fleet, and landed a strong body of troops on the coast of Locris. The Athenians were excited by Demosthenes to send an army of ten thousand mercenaries to the assistance of Amphissa. This force, however, proved too feeble to resist the powerful army of Philip; Amphissa was subdued, and suffered a severe punishment for its alleged impiety.

him.

All the cities of Greece, Thebes itself not except- A. C.33$. ed, were struck with the deepest alarm at this rapid progress of Philip. progress of Philip. The Athenians, obedient to the call of Demosthenes, summoned all their strength, and marched it to the frontiers. The orator himself went from city to city, rousing every where the hatred of the people against the Macedonian power. An extensive League confederacy was formed, consisting, besides Athens, of formed Megara, Corinth, Achaia, Leucas, Corcyra, and Eu- against boa; while Thebes itself evidently wavered. Alarmed by this formidable combination, Philip seized Elatea, an important post, which at once secured his communication with Thessaly, and opened an entrance into Baotia. This step at once roused Athens to action, and fixed the wavering councils of Thebes. The latter city took now a decided part in the confederacy against Macedon. Demosthenes acquired the same ascendant in its councils as in those of Athens; the armies of the two states united, and prepared to commence operations against the common enemy.

It is impossible to deny to Demosthenes the praise of activity and vigour in bringing affairs to this cri

sis. He was now, however, guilty of errors, which frustrated the effect of his former exertions. With the most shameful devotion to party-spirit, he overlooked Phocion, the only great commander whom Athens still retained, and appointed in his stead Chares, whose incapacity had been so often conspicuous. To him was joined Lysicles, a personage never before heard of. A capital error seems also to have been committed in the plan of the war. Against Philip, placed as he was in a mountainous territory, and at a distance from his resources, protracted and harassing hostilities might probably have been successful; but the Grecian levies, little accustomed to war, were ill calculated for coping in the field with his hardy veterans. These considerations were overlooked; when Philip advanced and offered battle, it was not declined; and the two parties, each with about thirty or forty thousand men, prepared to decide the fate of Greece on the plain of Cheronea. The contest was severe. The Thebans were plaCheronea. ced on the right wing, the Athenians on the left. The latter, though opposed by Philip in person, were for some time victorious; but, pursuing too hotly, exposed themselves to an attack of the Macedonian phalanx, which soon changed their victory into a defeat. The Thebans also, after an obstinate resistance, were routed, and their sacred band entire ly cut to pieces. Philip obtained a complete triumph; while Greece, and above all, Athens, received that mortal blow, from which they never recovered.

Battle of

It was generally expected, that Philip would avail himself of this opportunity of crushing entirely this inveterate enemy. That prudent prince, however, foresaw, that powerful obstacles were yet to be encountered, and that there was still a spirit in the Athenian people which might render it difficult to hold them in complete subjection. It would appear also, as if the genius and fame of Athens had, in this hour of her calamity, thrown a shield over her. Philip is reported to have said, "Have I done so much for glory, and shall I destroy the theatre of that glory?" Certain it is, that he shewed an anxiety to gain Athens only by conciliation. He dismissed the prisoners without ransom, gave them even their baggage on being asked, and proposed terms of accommodation, which were not only moderate, but advantageous. The Athenians at first spurned the idea of existing by the clemency of Philip, and pared rather for every extremity of resistance. This display of spirit only served to make Philip adhere the more steadily to his first offers; moderate advices prevailed; and a treaty was at length concluded, by which they retained the whole Attic territory, with the addition of Oropus, a Baotian city. Lysicles was put to death; but whether deservedly, or as a victim to public resentment, does not distinctly appear.

pre

arts and in arms. We shall begin with a view of her Athens. external aspect; we shall then survey her political and moral constitution; and, lastly, consider her wonderful proficiency in the arts and sciences.

Athens was situated on the Saronic gulf, oppo- Situation site to the eastern coast of Peloponnesus. It was in- and external appear closed in a sort of peninsula, formed by the confluence ance of of the Cephisus and the Ilissus. From the sea, on Athens.which its greatness and importance so essentially depended, it was distant about four miles. It was con nected, however, by walls of great strength and extent, with the three harbours of Piræus, Munyonia, and Phalerus. The former, though the last of being erected, was soon found the most commodious and important of the three, and became a sort of emporium of Grecian commerce. A bay, formed by projecting rocks, furnished a species of triple harbour, at once spacious and secure; and the surrounding shore was covered with edifices, the splendour of which soon rivalled those of Athens itself. These harbours were joined to the city by a double range of walls, called the long walls, of which the north side, extending to Piræus, was five miles; the south, which branched off to Phalerus, was four miles and a quarter in length. That encompassing the Piræus with Munychia, was seven miles and a half. The long walls were built of hewn stone, and were so broad, that carriages could cross each other upon them.

In the centre of the city itself, and constituting its chief ornament, stood the Acropolis, the glory of Grecian art. On this elevation the whole of Athens was originally built; but as the city extended, the Acropolis came to serve merely the purpose of a citadel. Here, as in the safest and most conspicuous situation, were accumulated all those works of ornament, of which Athens was so prolific. The Acropolis became the grand depositary for every thing most splendid which human genius could produce, in painting, sculpture, and architecture. Its chief ornament was the Parthenon, or virgin temple of Minerva. This splendid edifice was 217 feet in length, and 98 in breadth. Destroyed by the Persians, it was rebuilt by Pericles, with great additional splendour. Within was the statue of Minerva by Phidias, the masterpiece of the art of statuary. It was of ivory, thirty-nine feet in height, and entirely covered with pure gold, to the value of forty-four talents, or £120,000 sterling. The Propylea also, of white' marble, formed magnificent entrances to the Parthenon. This edifice was on the north side of the Acropolis, and near it was the Erectheum, also of white marble, consisting of two temples, one of Minerva Polias, another of Neptune, besides a remarkable edifice called the Pandroseum. In front of the Acropolis, and at each end, were the two theatres, called the theatre of Bacchus, and the Odeum; the one designed for dramatic representations, and the other for music. Both, and particularly the last, were of extraordinary magnificence.

Although, however, the principal treasures of Athenian art were accumulated in the Acropolis, the city itself contained many noble structures. Among these we may particularly mention the Pacile, or gallery of historical engravings; the Tower of the Winds, by Andronicus Cyrrhestes; and numerous mo

Athens. numents of illustrious men. Two of its most splendid ornaments, however, were without the walls: These were the temples of Theseus and of Jupiter Olympius, situated, the one on the north, and the other on the south side of the city. The former was Doric, bearing a considerable resemblance to the Parthenon, and having the atchievements of this hero carved on the metopes. The temple of Jupiter Olympius was Corinthian, and surpassed, if possible, every other structure of which Athens could boast. Immense sums were spent upon it by the Athenians; additions were made to it by successive sovereigns; and at length the fabric was completed by Hadrian. The exterior contained about 120 columns, fluted, sixty feet in height, and six in diameter. The inclosure was half a mile in circumference.

tation.

Besides these wondrous productions of art, Athens presented other scenes, sacred in the eyes of posterity by the classical associations which they awaken. The ancient philosophers did not, as has been usual with modern men of letters, immure themselves in the smoky atmosphere of cities. They sought retirement, and the scenes of nature; nor did the zeal of their disciples scruple to follow them. The Academy, where Plato taught, was about three-quarters of a mile to the north of the town: From being a marshy and unwholsome spot, it was gradually improved, planted with trees, and refreshed with streams of running water. The Lyceum, where Aristotle taught, and which, from him, became the seat of the academic school, was situated on the other side of the city, beyond the Ilissus. It was used also as a theatre for gymnastic exercises. Near it was the less famous Cynosarges, where Antisthenes taught, the founder of the Cynic school.

The subsequent sects of Zeno and Epicurus taught within the city. Zeno chose the portico called Pæcile, which was embellished with representations of Athenian victories. Epicurus, fond at once of society and of rural scenery, was the first who introduced a garden within the walls; and thus enjoyed at once these two species of luxury.

Not only literary, but political associations conspired to give interest to particular districts of Athens. The hill of Areopagus, where that august assembly pronounced its decisions; the Prytaneum, or senatehouse; the Pnyx, or forum, where the sovereign people of Athens met to deliberate all these places, without being particularly splendid in themselves, become in the highest degree interesting to us, by the dignity and importance of the events of which they were the theatre.

Her poliWe have already given a view of the Athenian tical consti- constitution, as originally established by Solon. This, however, will give a very inadequate idea of the effects produced by that system, when called into action. The popular branch, as we already observed, was not long of acquiring an ascendency, far beyond what he had either foreseen or intended. To this cause may be attributed, at once her prosperity, and the evils with which it was chequered. The activity, the emulation, the free scope to talents of every description, which were excited and afforded by a government so completely popular, were doubtless the grand causes which raised Athens to such a height

of glory. The multitude of great men in every de- Athens, partment, who followed each other in splendid succession, even to her last decline, is altogether unexampled. This constitution also combined with her military power, in rendering her the head of the popular interest in Greece, and thus necessarily secured the attachment of a majority of the members of every Grecian community. Thus she often conquered by her institutions, as much as by her arms; and was enabled, after conquering, to hold states in easy subjection. We have had sufficient occasion to ob serve those errors in foreign policy, into which the same constitution precipitated her; her rashness in engaging in enterprizes above her strength; her levity in changing from one to another; the perpetual jealousy and suspicion which she nourished against her great men, a jealousy which her circumstances indeed might perhaps render necessary, but which often prompted her to reject their services at the time when they were most wanted. We have also had occasion to observe that ambitious and unprincipled avidity which she displayed in her transactions with foreign states, in which the maxim too often was, that every thing was lawful that was for the benefit of Athens. This was a maxim indeed but too prevalent among the ancient republics; yet Sparta seems generally to have maintained a character of equity decidedly superior to that of her rival. Accordingly the most upright among the Athenians, Aristides, Cimon, and Phocion, generally favoured the party of Sparta and aristocracy. On the other hand, the Athenians are more celebrated for humanity: Their treatment of slaves was milder than in other Grecian states; and the few instances of atrocity towards conquered states, seem to have been sudden bursts of passion, that were quickly followed by repentance.

In their internal economy, the energies of a free government were also, as we shall presently see, powerfully displayed in a career of science and art, the splendour of which has no parallel in the history of nations. At the same time it was productive also of a complication of disorders. The free states of antiquity differed from those of modern times, in not being representative governments. The popular assembly was composed of the whole body of the nation; which not only produced a disorderly multitude, but took away all check of responsibility, such as exists now between the electors and the elected. The people were absolutely despotic, and exercised their power often as arbitrarily and as capriciously as the most worthless individual. As most of the manual labour was performed by slaves, such of the free citizens as had no inheritance, that is, the greater part of them, were in a state of extreme necessity. When therefore they found, that the public revenue, as well as the property of private individuals, was at their disposal, they soon discovered, and were taught by their flatterers, that these resources might be turned to their private accommodation. This was gradually done more and more, every new courtier endeavouring to outstrip his predecessor. Theatrical amusements, of the utmost splendour, were afforded at the public expense; and a law was at length passed, making it capital to propose any other use of the funds appropriated to them. In the same manner,

Athens. baths, places of meeting, and other accommodations, of more than royal magnificence, were supplied to the lowest of the people. Trials were decided by a species of jury, the members of which were called Dicasts, and received a small sum (three oboli, equal to fourpence) for the exercise of their office. To be on juries became thus a regular source of subsistence to the poorer classes; hence sprung innumerable abuses. The number of jurymen was raised to 500; that of courts, which sat daily, to ten. Every disposition was shewn, both to multiply trials, and to protract their duration. Accusations were willingly received; and so little was the security, even to the best citizens, of a favourable issue, that Socrates could give no better advice, than to repel them by a counter accusation. The greatest men of the state paid the most humble court to these dicasts. The comic poet introduces one of them saying: "The principal men of the commonwealth attend our levee in the morning. Presently one of those who have embezzled public money approaches, makes a low bow, and begs my favour. If ever,' says he, you yourself, in any office, or even in the management of a military mess, cheated your comrades, pity me.' He stood trembling before me, as if I had been a god." With the same view of accommodating the people, holidays, the sacrifices at which were distributed among them, were multiplied, till they filled nearly a sixth of the year.

Her progress in the arts and sciences.

While the revenue of the state was thus employed, rather for private than public wants, the question came to be, how the latter were to be supplied. With this view, the people cast their eyes on the rich, whom they were never disposed to regard very favourably. Was a frigate to be equipped; they pitched upon the man who appeared best able to af ford it, and compelled him to do it at his own expense. The same system was adopted with regard to all other branches of public service. The only remedy which remained was of the most irregular nature. The man, on whom this burden was laid, could call upon any other whom he thought better able to bear it, either to do the service, or to make a complete exchange of property with himself. Upon the whole, Mr Mitford, who certainly shews no partiality to the Athenian government, hesitates not to declare, that the security of property in it was less than in the most arbitrary of the oriental govern

ments.

Having thus surveyed the political character of Athens, we shall now take a brief view of that which she displayed in arts and letters. The first foundations of her fame in this department were laid under the family of Pisistratus. They shewed themselves zealous patrons of learning; and Pisistratus himself is said to have been the first who collected together the scattered fragments of the Iliad and Odyssey. The grand efforts of Athenian genius, however, were subsequent to this æra; it continued to blaze uninterruptedly during the whole period of her political greatness, and even for a short time survived its extinction. The departments in The departments in which she chiefly excelled, and to which, indeed, she gave birth, seem to have been those connected with

human manners and passions-the drama, moral and Athens, political philosophy, and history.

To Athens the drama was indebted, at once for its The drama. first origin and its highest perfection. Yet her first essays were of the rudest description. At certain seasons of the year, festivals were celebrated in honour of Bacchus ; and, on these occasions, it was customary for the peasants to mount their cars, and sing extemporary verses in honour of that deity. On some, who displayed, in this exercise, peculiar powers of amusing the public, rustic rewards, a cask of wine, or a goat, were bestowed; hence arose the expressions, trugædia, tragedia, the song of the cask, the song of the goat. These persons wore masks, a custom always retained on the Greek theatre; and, as they gradually improved, and dialogue was added, the exhibitions approached more and more to the nature of regular dramas. Athens now becoming a city of some magnitude and opulence, a demand arose in it for similar amusements, and persons were not wanting to gratify this taste. The division into comedy and tragedy had now been established. The first year before the establishment of the tyranny of Pisistratus, Susarion mounted a scaffold, and performed a sort of comedy, or satirical dialogue. About thirty years after, Thespis, from a waggon, exhibited the first tragedy on record. Before his time there had been nothing but the chorus; he added a single actor. Tragedy, though posterior in its origin to comedy, was soonest carried to perfection. Thespis was succeeded by Cratinas, in whose time the scaffolding, similar probably to that used in our puppet-shows, on which the exhibition was performed, having accidentally broke down, the Athenians applied themselves to build a secure and more elegant theatre. Phrynichus, his successor, perfected tragedy still more, by substituting the iambic verse for the trochaic, which had been employed as suited to the accompaniment of dancing, once an essential part of theatrical entertainments. The spectacles were now addressed to the fancy more than to the senses. Immediately after him, and about the period of the Persian war, arose Eschylus, who carried Grecian tragedy to the summit of perfection. His pieces are characterized by a fierce and terrible sublimity, congenial to his own character, and that of his age, which were wholly devoted to military glory. He was succeeded by Sophocles, who, born in a milder and more polished age, exhibited different characters. Inferior in energy and sublimity, he still combined a large portion of these qualities with more skilful contexture of plot, and greater powers of pathos. Immediately following, and for a long time contemporary, was Euripides, who excelled both his predecessors in pathetic powers, in which, among the ancients at least, he stands unrivalled; and who cultivated also a sententious morality unknown to his predecessors. In other respects, however, he is inferior to Eschylus and Sophocles.

With him tragedy, after a short reign, expired; but comedy had only now attained its perfection, and continued to flourish during successive ages. It assumed different aspects, according to the different periods of its existence. These are called the Old, the Middle, and the New Comedy.
