Now the substance of the bill was this: The hieromnemon of the Athenians, it says, and the pylagori who are at the time in office, shall go to Thermopylae and Delphi at the times appointed by our fathers; fine in sound, shameful in fact; for it prevents attendance on the special meeting at Thermopylae, which had to be held before the date of the regular meeting.

But what does it mean to take no part? Shall I tell you the truth, or what is most agreeable for your ears? I will tell you the truth, for it is the universal habit of speaking to please you that has brought the city to such a pass. It means that you are forbidden to remember the oaths which our fathers swore, or the curse, or the oracle of the god.
