Question:
Why was Athens the only formidable enemy for the speaker?
Submit
Answer (optional):
Athens was the only formidable enemy for the speaker because there was still a possibility that Athens might rouse Greece against the speaker and overpower him by a coalition of which Athens would be the head. Therefore, the speaker needed to isolate Athens by political intrigues, and by driving Athens out of the Chersonese, strike a fatal blow at the commerce on which Athens' prosperity largely depended.
