The Histories
An Athenian professional long-distance runner sent to Sparta to request aid against the Persians, who reports an encounter with the god Pan on the way.
While still in the city, the generals first sent to Sparta the herald Philippides, an Athenian and a long-distance runner who made that his calling.
This Philippides was in Sparta on the day after leaving the city of Athens, that time when he was sent by the generals and said that Pan had appeared to him.
Pan called out Philippides ' name and bade him ask the Athenians why they paid him no attention, though he was of goodwill to the Athenians, had often been of service to them, and would be in the future.
Against Philippides
The defendant in this graphe paranomon prosecution, who proposed the decree honoring the presidents (proedroi) under indictment; portrayed as a flatterer of the powerful, a repeat offender previously convicted twice of illegal proposals, and a betrayer of Athenian interests.
The case in which you are going to vote is an indictment for the proposing of illegal measures and the decree under consideration is one congratulating presidents.
And you, Philippides, show us that what you assumed about the presidents in your decree is true and you will be acquitted.
You have concluded that one person will be immortal, yet you sentenced to death a city as old as ours, never realizing the simple fact that no tyrant has yet risen from the dead, while many cities, though utterly destroyed, have come again to power.
