need help on demosthenes

hey could someone post what theyre doing for the demosthenes essay?

This is basically what im gonna say, but in sentence form

a. Whom does Demosthenes blame for the danger facing Athens? Why?
i. He blames Athenians, because they are lazy and negligent and under the sway of lassitude
b. What hope does he see of stopping Philip’s advance?
i. Unless the Athenians rise up, there is no hope and Athens will fall
c. How important is Philip himself, according to Demosthenes, as a source of the menace to Athens and the rest of Greece?
i. Not as important as the Athenians themselves
d. What was the greatest threat to Greek freedom?
i. Themselves—they must be willing to sacrifice themselves for the Greek state
e. What ought free men fear most?
i. The loss of their freedom through lassitude

thanks im just having problems with "how important is philip himself"
i was thinking that since he is the head of the macedonians, he of course is important. even though hes sick, the athenians must be warned that after him another philip of equal power will rise (hes right, alexander creates the largest empire)

thanks
could someone also post the basic stuff for the other essays?

im working on socrates heres what i have so far

Socrates-the first political philosopher
Cicero- "Socrates brought philosophy down from the heavens and placed it in the market place"[

He asked questions mostly, such as...
What is...?
Human Nature

• Justice

• Virtue

• But MOST OF ALL "What is the best way of life?" (way of life referring to regime)

theres a lot more but i dont have time.[wow][/wow]kjalsfl[wow][/wow]

Spoiler:

LOLOMG i really need help with the NATURE VERSUS CONVETION THINGY

Spoiler:

hey ethan, im pretty sure the point is that Philip is "replacable" in a sense- and that the real emphasis of this question is not that Philip is necessarily important. Someone can always replace him but the point is that the greeks are being worthless yet again

whats lassitude?

its something like laziness i think

oh...i agree with greg though. i dont think hes that big of a threat its just the athenians being stupid

culd sum1 post their answer to the socrates life/death/works/trial essay or explain how their gonna answer it cuz i have the info i jus dont kno how he wants us to state it

yeah its just the info...memorize it

On the demosthenes essay do we need to memorize the questions too or just the answers?

It says to know how to answer the 5 questions, but I don't think he explicitly said if we had to know the question itself.
