POROS IS AN ARGOSARONIC ISLAND NEAR PELLOPONISOS

Atlas11 on November 18, 2008

323 BCE 'Here also is the statue of Demosthenes, whom the Athenians forced to depart to Calabria, the island off Trizinia, and then after accepting him back, banished again after the disaster in Lamia. Departing for the second time, Demosthenes crossed once more to Calabria, where he died after taking poison, being the only Greek exile whom Archias failed to bring back to Antipater and the Macedonians. This Archias was a Thurian who undertook the abominal task of bringing to Antpater for trial those who had opposed the Macedonians before the Greeks met with their defeat in Thessaly. Such was Demosthenes' reward for his devotion to Athens. I totally agree with the word that no man who has unsparingly put himself into the political life and faithfully executed his duties to the democracy has ever had happy end.' From Pausanias' Description of Greece. Attica. Book 1:8(3-4).
