It follows that the winning of the victory at Marathon could not justify Miltiades in leading his countrymen blindfolded into ruin. It is also almost beyond dispute that levity and ingratitude are not the besetting sins of democracies generally; and the Demos of Athens might far more reasonably be charged with faults of a precisely opposite nature. Again and again the Athenians brought upon themselves grave, and in some instances irremediable, disasters, because, in spite of evidence Alleged pointing to incapacity or demerit, they refused to ingratitude witi!draw the confidence bestowed on men who had of the Athenians won for themselves a fair reputation for integrity. There were, in truth, many cases in which they retained in office from this feeling men whom it was at once their interest and duty forthwith to dismiss. But when the current of opinion in a democracy is really changed, the change is likely to be avowed in vehement tones and angry language; and such language may be taken as evidence of ingratitude, when the offender (real or supposed) is a man eminent for former services. At Athens, assuredly, the dangerous tendency was rather to an uncriticising and excessive submission to the will of the popular leaders. But it is also true that the Athenians in many instances dispta_y od a disposition to shrink from responsibility, which Athenian was by no means creditable to them; and in the tol'voidre same measure they were reluctant to take to spousibiiity themselves any blame for results...

Download or read book The Life and Journey of Athenian Statesman Themistocles 524 460 B C as a Refugee in Persia written by Arthur Keaveney and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Greece, Themistocles was universally acknowledged as the architect of the Greek victory in the great Persian invasion. Afterwards, however, political opinion turned against him in his native Athens. He fled into exile and eventually wound up in the court of the king of Persia.
