Answer:

Demosthenes believed that the people of Athens should resist the expansionism of Macedonia under Philip II. In a series of famous speeches given in the 340s BC and known as "Philippics" after the Macedonian ruler, Demosthenes encouraged political unity and reform in order to resist Philip.

According to Plutarch, when Demosthenes first addressed himself to the people, he was derided for his strange and uncouth style, "which was cumbered with long sentences and tortured with formal arguments to a most harsh and disagreeable excess". Some citizens, however, discerned his talent.

He said that if Greeks failed in their duty then they can certainly expect a disaster.
