Κατὰ Λεωκράτους

Κατὰ Λεωκράτους Lycurgus ca. 390-ca. 324 B.C
103 Thus Hector, while exhorting the Trojans to defend their country, speaks these words: Fight on unresting by the ships; and if some meet their fate By wound of dart, or battling hand to hand, then let them die. To fall in combat for your country’s sake is no disgrace; For wife and child will live unharmed, and home and plot last on, If once the Achaeans leave and sail their ships to their own land. Hom. Il. 15.494
104 These are the lines, gentlemen, to which your forefathers listened, and such are the deeds which they emulated. Thus they developed such courage that they were ready to die, not for their country alone, but for the whole of Greece as a land in whose heritage they shared. Certainly those who confronted the barbarians at Marathon, by defeating an army from the whole of Asia, won, at their own peril, security for every Greek alike. They gave themselves no credit for glory but valued rather conduct deserving of it, whereby they made themselves the champions of the Greeks and lords of the barbarians. Their pursuit of valor was no idle boast; they displayed it in action to the world.
