The "[[Olynthiac]]s" were three political speeches, all delivered by the Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes. In 349 BC Philip II of Macedon attacked [[Olynthus]], which at the time was an ally of Athens. In the [[Olynthiacs]], delivered in 349 BC, Demosthenes urged Athens to help Olynthus. | |wketx=The "[[Olynthiac]]s" were three political speeches, all delivered by the Athenian statesman and orator Demosthenes.

When Philip was enthroned, he cajoled the Chalkidian League, but, after the seizure of Amphipolis and the Macedonian expansion in Thrace, Philip sought for the elimination of the Chalkidian League and for the destruction of its most powerful city, Olynthus. The Olynthians foresaw the danger and struck a deal with the Athenians, who had been their enemies. In 350 BC, Philip had already seized thirty-two cities of the Chalkidike. The next year Olynthus sent successive delegations to Athens, asking desperately for military support, but the Athenians displayed no willingness for a military operation far away from their city. | When Philip was enthroned, he cajoled the Chalkidian League, but, after the seizure of Amphipolis and the Macedonian expansion in Thrace, Philip sought for the elimination of the Chalkidian League and for the destruction of its most powerful city, Olynthus.

Les Olynthiennes sont trois discours prononcés par l'orateur athénien Démosthène en 349-348 avant J.-C. afin de convaincre ses concitoyens de secourir Olynthe, ville de la Ligue chalcidienne assiégée par Philippe II de Macédoine. | Les Olynthiennes sont trois discours prononcés par l'orateur athénien Démosthène en 349-348 avant J.-C. afin de convaincre ses concitoyens de secourir Olynthe, ville de la Ligue chalcidienne assiégée par Philippe II de Macédoine. |
