I believe, men of Athens, that the war with the King is a
difficult undertaking for our city, though any conflict which the war involved
might prove easy enough.1 Why so? Because the first requisites for every
war are necessarily, I suppose, fleets and money and strong positions, and I
find that the King is more fully supplied with these than we are; but for the
actual conflict I observe that nothing is needed so much as brave soldiers, and
of these we and those who share the danger with us have the better supply.
