Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Demosthenes warned about the threat of the Macedonian king, Philip II, to the independence of Athens and other Greek city-states in several speeches but his warnings were ignored or dismissed as fear-mongering. When Philip II invaded Greece and defeated Athens at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BCE, Demosthenes' earlier warnings were proven right, but it was too late to prevent the loss of Athenian autonomy. Therefore, Demosthenes played a crucial but ultimately unsuccessful role in Athenian history as a patriot who tried to avert the catastrophic consequences of Macedonian hegemony.
