Apollodorus Against Polycles (Greek)

Ecclesiazusae
The Athenian citizens' political assembly, the target and setting of the women's plot.
FIRST WOMAN And how shall an assembly of women, of female mind, address the people?
for the Assembly, to which we are prepared to go, will begin at daybreak.
A charming thing you would have done, if you had said that in the Assembly.
Apollodorus Against Polycles
The Athenian assembly at which emergency tidings were heard and naval mobilization was decreed.
On the twenty-fourth day of the month Metageitnion in the archonship of Molon, when an assembly had been held and tidings of many serious events had been brought before you, you voted that the trierarchs (of whom I was one) should launch their ships.
When you heard all these tidings at that time in the assembly from both the speakers themselves and those who supported them;
that the Proconnesians, your allies, were requesting you in the assembly to come to their aid, stating that the Cyzicenes were pressing them hard in war by both land and sea, and imploring you not to look idly on while they perished.
