Isocrates - Letter to Phillip II of Macedon (4th Century BC)

[Akzion]

Even after his death this so-called Persian agent was praised by the Hellenes, who wrote at the base of his statue that: Had you for Hellas been strong, as wise you were, The Macedonian had not conquered her.

This is from Plutarch's Demosthenes (30,5), so here's an accurate translation:
Είπερ ίσην ρώμην, γνώμη Δημόσθενες, είχες, ουποτ` αν Ελλήνων ήρξεν Άρης Μακεδών
If you had (physical) strength, Demosthenes, equal to your knowledge (understanding, intellect), never would have Hellenes be led by a Macedonian Ares (Mars).

[Soldier of Macedon]

Here is another.

"If thy strength had only been equal to thy purposes, Demosthenes,
Never would the Greeks have been ruled by a Macedonian Ares."

Amusing how you try to soften and twist it by using 'led' instead of 'ruled' or 'conquered', spin it however you want, it still spells the same - the Macedonian domination and conquest of Greece. Have you addressed your concerns with Loeb Classical Library yet?

[George S.]

Now the modern greeks are only too happy to appropriate anything macedonian.It's clear from what i have read that demosthenes hated the macedonian domination so much that he flew into a rage that was very often.He was hoping that alexander would be killed in the battle of chaeronea & when he found out he wasn't he flew in a fit of rage.
