Phocion

The Athenians, sensible of their folly, displaced Chares, and gave the command to Phocion.

Phocion was not only insulted, but excluded from all share in the command of the army by the infatuated people.

Although honest, Phocion was not very clever, and his caution little by little became cowardice.

He was not a Phocion, for he never became the tool of a foreign power.

The latter, through their general Phocion, rescued it from the tyrants suborned by Philip of Macedon (354 and 341).
